Short YouTube advice video by Ming @ Agents of Speech explaining simple behavioral systems parents can use at home to reduce tantrums and problem behaviors.

If you want your child to have the tantrums and bad behaviors in check, you have to have behavioral systems that you can lean on so that your child knows how to get something when they won't get something and when they will. And a very easy way to do this is basically using a timer. And these are all very behavioral approach. You will see more of this in ABA Applied Behavioral Analysis Therapy sessions. But it's also important that you can utilize it at home. Timers, tokens, using countdown methods to tell them when it's going to finish and also showing them a schedule for all these things can help them to understand when they're going to get it. And they don't need to be frantic and go berserk trying everything that they know to get what they want. So that's the end of this video. Thank you so much for tuning in.
