18. Strengths: Use of desists Use of withitness Research supported components Weaknesses: Incomplete Only useful for low-level misbehavior Kounin Model
20. Body Language 90% of effective discipline Group-Based Genuine Incentive Systems Grandma’s Rule Preferred Activity Time (PAT Difficult Children Use warnings “Pull a card” “Letter home on desk technique” Jones Model
21. Strengths: Awareness and use of body language Remaining calm Preventative measures Effective use of incentives Weaknesses: PAT system punishment-based taken economy system Reliance on threats and warnings Jones Model
