1) EVALUATION- defining the problem, study your child, family reactions.2) REGAINING ADULT AUTHORITY- think temperament and to deal with behavior instead of responding emotionally or instinctively to what you perceive as the child's motives. Learn to:disengage, to become neutral in attitude, to think and evaluate before responding, to understand behavior as it is related to temperament, to replace why is he doing this to me w/ how can I understand his behavior.3) MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES- management is different from discipline. Labeling, cooling off, sense of timing, dealing with change, eye contact, choices, introducing gradually, understanding manipulative versus temperamental tantrums. Engage in self-monitoring and understanding your child.4) FAMILY GUIDANCE5) SUPPORT GROUPS
