An example would be to give a child a piece of chocolate for grooming appropriately. Behavior modification is psychotherapy that focuses on observable behaviors rather than underlying psychological processes and applies learning principles to substitute desirable responses and behavior patterns for undesirable ones. This, in my experience can work with a younger child most effectively. A lot of programs no longer use this model with the 21st century kids who have figured it out and are able to bypass many of the techniques, even ones used in consistency. The teen brain today is much more advanced than the teen brain of just 17 years ago. Just do your homework and ask a lot of questions from professionals who know your child to see which treatment base may be best for them for ling term results.
