Let’s look at another video!

Lear had the habit of just going into the fridge and looking for goodies when visiting at friend’s houses.

Instead of trying to block him, say NO, or empty the fridge we decided to teach him the skill of asking permission.

Saying NO to Lear is apt to cause a tantrum, so teaching him to ask, and then saying YES is a good strategy.

This is a good example of interrupting a behavior chain, by inserting a new behavior that is reinforced in the middle of the chain. Lear gets a plastic sea creature after every tag, then he gets to open the fridge and take a piece of melon.

Write down your observations and see how they compare with the observations of the webinar participants.
