Behavior Modification

What is Behavior Modification?
Behavior Modification is an effective approach that is conducted daily, to identify the undesirable behaviors and enhance them with more positive strategies that allow the child to display positive behaviors.
Behavior modification focuses on students that show disruptive behaviors. Behavior Modification is helps to dissuade a child from negative types of behavior and promote a continued development of positive ones.

Identification
Identification is used to identify various behaviors, such as mental disorders, anxiety disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and aggressiveness.
Shaping
Shaping is an effective method that is used to acquire a new behavior and learn by a process where old behaviors are replaced with new ones. Shaping allows the child to develop self -control and display positive behaviors in the process.
Behavior Change Process
The behavior modification views behavior change as a five-stage process that focuses on how ready at the child needs is to change. The five steps are: Pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance. The purpose is to build and incorporate new behaviors.
Relapse Prevention Method
The relapse prevention method is basically used along with the planned behavior modification method that is a supportive strategy for eliminating old habits. Daily monitoring to enhance the behavior so that
there is no relapse of this behavior. The purpose is to anticipate the weak spots of the child and where a child is more likely to relapse into old behaviors, but made.
Behavioral Control

Researching & Sharing....

Researching and Sharing ......

This is the most challenging part and I am very nervous because I am thinking that I may have missed out on an opportunity. Because I feel like I am halfway ready. I can truly say that I am having a challenging time, especially after experiencing a re-visit to the hospital with my husband, when it comes to the final preparations... After reading my colleagues post, it was like a reality check for me. Even though I feel lifeless and ready to throw in the towel. I think the final preparations are really sinking into a realm of this new beginnings. And at this point of my life, I am trying to get myself established mentally and emotionally.And this comes after finding out that my husband has to have surgery in a month, in regards to his stints being replace. But I think to myself..."Wow, how much more can I take." It is challenging enough taking this class and pressing my way,but I strive to be prepare for the final preparations. I believe researching all aspects that will better prepare me for my advocacy plan and position as a ECE.

I hope I can do a great job, in spite of my recent challenge....

My favorite qoute is....

Encouragement is oxygen to the soul. By George M. Adams
I believe ENCOURAGEMENT is truly oxygen for the soul. It is the VITAL link to moving forward and taking the attitude of succeeding in Life.


What inspires and excites me the most abpout my advocacy plan and being an advocate is the opportunity that I am able to make available for educating those children that have a difficult time learning due to their behavior, which causes my heart to drop. I am excited to see that I am able to educate all children but mostly those that have behavior challenges. My heart is very open to those in general. I have a pasion to teach all chidlren and help them move forward in their learning.
The challenges and/or anxieties I do feel related to engaging in the advocacy efforts I have targeted is very hard to explain. I believe I feel I have failed and I feel handicap and unable to help any child. Somewhat like suicide and feel as if there is no life after that. That is the biggest challenge I feel in relation to this matter. I also believe that not having the opportunity to show myself worthy of such a position as a future teacher. That can be very disturbing.
What do you believe will be most effective in helping you overcome any challenging emotions you may be feeling with regard to presenting and implementing your Advocacy Action Plan?
I beleive that the most effective when I am able to grasp their attention and shape their attitude for wanting to learn more as they are in a classroom setting. I believe passing this class will really help to stablize me mentally, because I have many other challenges that really cannot be ignored and mentally I tried hard to strive in moving forward. I believe when the class ends and my grade is acceptable I will be able to move and release a better outcome from my mental frame of mind. AS for my advocacy plan, I beleive I can push myself and hope for the best, because I really ran out of all aspects and I pray that I can make it to the end.As my favorite quote says....Encouragement is the oxygen of the soul and unfortunelty mine is limited, but I believe I will keep on keeping on.
I try to encourage others but saying "Always do your Best!" Never give up and as I said earlier....KEEP ON KEEPING ON! And most of all PRAY HARDER!!!!
Any suggestions....I do accept....any prayers....I say Thanks in Advance....
