The Importance of Positive Repetition in Behavior Plans

Sometimes setting up a behavior plan for kids can be like gambling. Just like with a slot machine, the inconsistency can keep them motivated to keep asking for things, hoping to win eventually. However, consistency is key in a behavior plan. While some kids can handle occasional rewards without exploiting them, others will take advantage. It's important to find a balance of expectations and consequences for children with ADHD, who may have self-esteem issues and be more sensitive to punishment.
