- STOPPING UNDESIRABLE BEHAVIOR '
- '
- All children like to make a difference, even if '
- it means driving adults up the wall. When '
- @5 does this, remove any chance for atten- '
- tion by isolating @1 for 5 min. at a stretch. '

- Ask yourself: '
- * Do I know how my attention or that of '
- others is supporting @5's behavior? '
- * Do I know how much of @2 actions I and '
- others can actually ignore? '
- * How can I muster the self-control needed '
- to eliminate the behavior's impact on me? '
- * How can I return attention when it stops? '
