Behavior BooksCan anyone reccomend some good behavior related books. I think its time we start tackeling some difficult behaviors at home. I am tired of him "trying" to control our house and even more some being difficult in public places. Wish I could say all his behaviors were due to autism but they aren't and he is turning into a difficult child. He was really babied when he was younger. I just felt so sorry for him and now I have created a monster.
Thanks!!! The book "Overcoming Autism" by Lynn Kogel and Claire ______ (can't remember last name) has some great chapters on behavior. I don't know if your looking for something specifically related to Autism or not, but I thought this book was great. Nicole Found some books at this website http://www.autismshop.com/store/home.php?cat=291 Hope it helps UV There are a lot of books you can find in the childrens section about dealing with anger. I remember reading a book to my son called "When I Get Angry" and he actually used the things they did in the book when he got angry and it really helpd. My son loves the Berenstain Bears, and their stories usually teach good lessons without getting too "preachy." The Mercer Mayer "Little Critter" books are good, too. They are written more from the perspective of how frustrating it can be to be a kid, but it gives a clear understanding of when he is misbehaving Buy and read "the Kazdin Method." Alan Kazdin is a recent president of the APA, and is the director of the Yale child behavior clinic. His book is a systematic, research-based approach to dealing with difficult children. It is not autism-specific, but it sounds like your problems may not be autism-specific. His approach is very positive and is premised on creating a system of reinforcement for desired behaviors. A lot of the principles will look familiar to anybody who knows ABA. We had great success with the Nurtured Heart Method that's in the book "Transforming the Difficult Child" by Howard Glasser. |
