Behavior+Information


 * Behavior is defined as the actions of a system or an organism in relation to its environment. It is a response to a stimuli or a reaction to a cause. This cause can either internal or external and can be done consciously or subconsciously, voluntarily or involuntarily. Behaviors can have positive and negative effects. When a student is acting out, it is typically to draw attention to themselves (whether positive or negative) or to show that something is not right in a specific situation.
 * There are many ways to control behavior using a system of rewards and consequences. In order to effectively manage or change behavior, one must be able to find the root cause of the specific behavior being displayed. This information can be useful for teachers, parents, or anyone who deals with a child on a daily basis. Below you will find links to different websites as well as information on how to manage and change behavior in children and adolescents.
