If I had to use a method of punishment it would be either grounding or time out. The target behavior in which I would choose to eliminate would be a child having poor behavior in school. I would use this form of punishment so the child can realize what he/she has to lose. Showing the child that the reason they are able to have nice things and or being able to do stuff relies solely on how their behavior Is at home and away from home. The principle’s of learning that I base my opinion on is negative punishment. Punishing behavior’s that are wrong is the main focus. Efforts that I would try first before resulting to punishment is giving a warning. I will warn the child of what he or she will loose if bad behavior continues. It is important to reinforce good behavior so the child does not become discouraged or feel as if they are no good.

* If you HAD to choose a method of punishment to use, which would you choose to use? I think that one that I would use the most would be time out.
*Describe the targeted behavior you would choose to use this method of punishment to eliminate. The targeted behavior that I would choose to use this method of punishment to eliminate would be for one child hitting their sibling.
* Why would you choose to use it? I think that I would use it because it is immediate, takes the children away from each other which would also stop any aggressive behaviors between the siblings.
* On what principles of learning do you base your opinion? I am basing my opinion on the principles that punishing undesirable behaviors will decrease them.
* What efforts would you have tried first prior to resorting to a punishment procedure? Before using time out as a punishment, I would try reprimands and talking to them about bad behaviors. I would try to praise them when they are playing nicely and sharing and not hitting each other. I would give them two warnings that if their behaviors continue (hitting) they will spend time in time out.
* When punishing an inappropriate behavior, why is it also important to reinforce an appropriate behavior? I think it is important to praise appropriate behaviors when punishing a child so that they understand that the undesirable behaviors are not wanted or appreciated and that the desired behaviors are what we want to increase. When using praise, the child should increase that behavior and decrease the behavior in which punishment is used.
