Behavioral modification is one possible method of lessening ***** frequency ***** *****' negative behaviors and increasing positive behaviors. Within such a system, good beh*****viors are rewarded in a way that is meaningful to the child. These behaviors may include the ***** ra*****ing his or her hand ***** speak in class or wait*****g in l*****e quietly. In contrast, bad ***** ***** punished. Punishment may involve a 'time out' *****, depending on the *****bility of a child to anticipate a reward, may result in having a 'gold star' taken a***** on a sheet, which, after ten ***** stars' are accumulated, would allow a child to receive a desired *****, like ***** candy bar, no homework for ***** weekend, or a gift certificate.
