An outstanding resource for parents is to try to understand why
children behave the way they do. To try to do this parents should always
ask themselves, "What are their goals?" If your child's goal is 1)challenge
the positive approach is safe adventures and the negative approach is thrill-
seeking. If it is 2)withdrawal the positive approach is appropriate
avoidance and the negative approach is undue avoidance. If it is 3)
protection the positive approach is assertiveness/forgiveness and the
negative approach is revenge. If it is 4)power the positive approach is
independence and the negative approach is rebellion. Lastly, if it is 5)
contact/belonging the positive approach is contributing/cooperating and the
negative approach is undue attention-seeking. MY SOURCE ON THIS IS DR.
