Since the conequence is so important, it is vital to figure out good reinforcers. Again, why?

Dr. Martin Kozloff explains,

“The more rewards you have, the more you can change a child’s behavior.”

The more reinforcers we have, the more options we have to change behaviors.

How do we figure out good reinforcers? As always, your child is your best guide.

Spend a day or two observing your child. Write down what you observe about:

• Desired foods
• Desired toys or objects
• Desired interactions (praise, hugs, tickles)
• Desired activities
• Desired outings
