Status Updates From The Explosive Child

P. 64 #4 Fine to track progress on specific goals, but if tracking *behavior*, then focus is on child’s signals, not solving probs causing signals.

P. 67 Bth natural + adult-imposed conqs teach kids how you want them to behave & motivate them to behave adaptively. But if kid is lacking skills rather than motivation, & if kid already *knows* how you want him to behave, then neither type of conseq will go very far.

I get why chapter 4 read like an ad but that still didn’t make it any easier. I WISH people had a better capability of specifying/generalizing skills and problems when needed—I could see professionals having a challenge with this too.
