This will help the child achieve their goal. Now, the child receives one warning for the behavior listed on the board. After that, the parent does not talk or yell or argue, they simply get up and put a check next to the behavior. Do not engage in any discussion. Parents can also remove checks when the child has caught themself in the problem behavior and has stopped and choosen the proper behavior.
Positive reinforcement is the key.
