Ending a Conversation Skill # 16

1. Decide if you need to end the conversation. 2. Decide what you will say.

3. Wait until the other person stops talking. 4. Say it in a friendly way.

We must consider the environment and its effect on behavior.

We must consider the function of behavior: Get, gain Avoid, escape

Understanding the Learners

Summary What do we take away

Teach Universal Expectations and Pro-Social Skills

Look at the behavior from a child’s perspective

Check environmental factors as to what caused the behavior

Determine function of behavior – gain or avoid

Decide if behavior is a minor offense or major infraction

Follow through with a consistent consequence and teach the behavior skill deficit
