This week, we spent time watching a video to practice A-B-C data collection. The video was of a little girl who was getting ready for bed. Her caregiver, I would assume would be her mother, handled her various behaviors quite well. She mainly did this through redirection, which often works for this particular age group. I have used it myself in the past with my own daughters.
I am interested how to put the A-B-C data collection into practice with more complicated behaviors. One that immediately comes to mind is my daughter’s habit of hair pulling. We have yet to understand all that is behind the behavior. I may actually try an A-B-C data collection with her some time so I can better understand the trigger(s) and thus be better equipped to propose possible extinguishing practices.
