This practical guide teaches parents to use positive behavior support (PBS) to address a child's challenging behavior. It helps parents identify the reasons underlying the behavior and intervene through a three-pronged approach: 1) preventing problems, 2) replacing challenging behaviors, and 3) managing consequences. Concrete, research-based examples, exercises, downloadable worksheets, and chapter-long case studies walk parents through every step of the process.
