from green to yellow to red to yellow again
March 27, 2009
well, my son capped off a bad week with a red card at school today. they start the day off with a green card. he didn’t follow instructions all day and had a hard time keeping his hands to himself so he got a yellow card. he continued to not follow instructions and then the card was turned to red. this was his first red card all year. I knew he was having a bad week. for a minute there though I was wondering if I was just having a bad week (although I don’t think I had a bad week, it was actually a very successful week for me). but it really was him.
the good news is, once he got the red card, he actually turned his behavior around and did well enough the rest of the day that he got the card turned back to yellow. this is actually a big improvement for him. in years past, if he was being reprimanded for his behavior, it would only make his behavior worse. I think this is a good example of how ABA therapy has worked for him.
Here’s hoping for a much better week next week!
