One of the most frustrating aspects of parenting is dealing with an angry, defiant child who simply refuses to do what you ask. The child may be yelling, hitting, arguing, throwing objects, or threatening you. Your child's behavior can make you feel powerless, emotionally drained, or just plain furious. This is when you need to use Intensive Teaching.

The best choice for managing your children's behaviors is Preventive Teaching - teach children appropriate skills and behavior before problems occur.

The second choice is Corrective Teaching - deliver consequences to negative behaviors as soon as they occur.

The final resort is Intensive Teaching - when negative behaviors persist or escalate, you need to use Intensive Teaching.
