[QUOTE="Evanlee, post: 53738"] I was told to use 1-2-3 Magic by the Mayo Clinic... My son was discharged, got so upset and triggered that he was re-hospitalized the same day as discharge. I tried their version of 1-2-3 Magic--which was start counting and then deal out a punishment. Be consistent. Be firm. Eye contact, get on their level. They believed in 1-2-3 so much that they refused to give my son any kind of medication. I found 1-2-3 Magic is practised different ways and has different variations. My advise keep what works change or discontinue what does not. One Opinion on 1-2-3 Magic Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder (CD) in Children and Adolescents: Diagnosis and Treatment [url="http://www.klis.com/chandler/pamphlet/oddcd/oddcdpamphlet.htm#_Toc135732019"]http://www.klis.com/chandler/pamphlet/oddcd/oddcdpamphlet.htm#_Toc135732019[/url] You need a behavior modification or management plan. Is that what "1-2-3 Magic" is? Yes, that is a good example. For behavior modification to work, the program must have certain properties: 1.A few important behaviors need to be targeted. Rather than targeting "being good," you might try no hitting and no swearing. 2. The behavior must be clear cut and not fuzzy. Things like "listen when I tell you something" won't work, because it is too unclear. A better idea would be, "Sit down and look at me when I ask you to listen." 3. It must be consistent. There is no bending of rules in this sort of thing: no difference between the baby-sitter, mom, or dad. 4. The rewards and punishments need to be geared to the individual. 5. The rewards should not be money or things that are bought, but rather should be privileges which you can grant or activities which the child can do. Behavior Modification should not require a bank loan. 6. There needs to be an even mix of negative and positive reinforcers. The program should not be like candyland, but it also should not be out of Dorchester Prison. A typical Positive one would be a later bedtime on the weekend or a choice of dinner. A typical negative one would be going to your room or no TV. 7. It should be simple and straightforward so that your child easily understands it. If your child can read, it should be written down. If possible, your child should sign it and agree to it. [/QUOTE]
