ABC data offer a framework for understanding behavior and is the foundation of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). The term "ABC" refers to the context of a behavioral event, describing events that occur before and after a behavior you want to learn more about.
Professionals in the field of ABA often refer to ABC data as the 3-term contingency. The 3 terms include the antecedent (A), the behavior (B) and the consequence (C). Each component contributes to a greater understanding of why behavior continues. You then use this information to create a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) or to develop a plan for skill acquisition.

So the trigger for his behavior would be being left unattended? Thank you ma'am for the informative video.

@masteraba4260 2 года назад

That's right. Sometimes the trigger isn't obvious. For a child who values attention, a situation where they are left to entertain themselves can become the antecedent for challenging behavior. ☺️

I feel it’s too traumatizing. Taking a break helps but if it’s been going on too long it’s harder or takes longer to get them to calm down.

So, what is the next step? ... Saying "Stop" doesn't seem to be working.

The next step is to teach the child how to get what he wants in a better way. In this example, the child wants his father's attention so you would want to teach him to ask for his attention in any way that he can. For example, if he speaks, we might teach him to say "play with me." What's critical to making it work is the adult being flexible. If we teach him to say "play with me," then the father has to be flexible and stop what he's doing to play with his son. It disrupts what the father is trying to do, but if the challenging behavior (in this example jumping) is more effective in getting his father's attention than communication, it won't work. This is a simplified version of the next step. It's critical to get advice from someone who can observe the behavior as it's happening to account for all the possible variables.
