Solo parenting a long weekend is no joke. So I did what any self-respecting behavior analyst would do — I ran a group reinforcement procedure with my own children.
First time, we worked together to fill a jar with beads (ya know, for prosocial behaviors) to earn an ice cream making ball. Second time, they spotted something at the dollar store for when we filled the jar. This most recent time? They walked in already knowing exactly what they wanted to work for.
Did they still need prompting on how to earn beads? Yes. But they owned the reinforcer — and that's where motivation starts.
That's the same thing we're doing with our clients and our staff. When reinforcement is individualized and actually meaningful, behavior changes. It doesn't matter if we're talking about a six-year-old, an adult with complex needs, or an RBT® trying to stay motivated through a hard caseload. The science works the same way.
The hard days don't disappear. But they get more manageable when the motivation is real.
Drop a comment if you've ever run a behavior procedure on your own family and felt zero shame about it.
