Parenting with Science: Behavior Analysis Saves Mom’s Sanity

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a proven method used to reduce problem behaviors and increase desired ones, particularly beneficial for parents with young children. This book provides 10 strategies to prevent problem behavior in families, including positive behavior supports that can help reduce tantrums and gray hair. ABA is often used for children with autism spectrum disorders, but its benefits extend to all individuals. Techniques are supported by research from Behavior Analysis, Educational Psychology, and related fields. The book offers an extensive bibliography to help parents understand the research-based methods used by clinicians worldwide. Implementing these tools can lead to a calmer household and positive reinforcement for children’s behaviors.
