Description
Lisneyland's "How to have fun waiting for what I want" puts a positive spin on this common problem. Delayed gratification can trigger maladaptive behavior but having a strategy in place can help turn things around. This deck outlines: -The types of things you have to wait for -How to wait in line patiently -How to wait for things you want at home vs other places -What to do while you wait Remember to use behavior skills training! This deck, like all others focused on behavior change, will be so much more effective if used as the first step in a behavior skills training program. Here are the steps: 1. Review this visual support. Ask the knowledge checks provided, but come up with some of your own! Think of this visual as a diving board. You need to get on the diving board to get started, but what you do with it once you jump off should be individualized. BST step 2: Model this skill for your learners correctly AND incorrectly, then check in with them to make sure they can discriminate the difference. BST Step 3: Role-play: Provide scenarios and have your learners practice this skill. You might find some learners want to practice doing it "the wrong way." If this is reinforcing, allow them to do so as long as they follow up with the correct behavior afterward. BST step 4: Capture or contrive opportunities to practice this in real settings. Provide feedback and reminders. If your learner still struggles, keep practicing the other steps!
