As an alternative to punishment or nagging, a parent/teacher can have the
following dialog with a misbehaving child/student:





Teacher: Do you know why you misbehave (break the classroom rules, roam
around the room, etc.)?

Student: No.



Teacher: I would like to tell you what I think."

Student: OK.



Teacher: (start guessing to determine which of the four
mistaken goals a child is seeking. The first 4 groupings of questions
are for the mistaken goals of: attention, power, revenge, and inadequacy.
With experience, you will be able to zero in on the right question to ask,
and when you guess correctly, the child will all of a sudden feel understood,
and then begin to become cooperative. Begin your guess with the nonjudgemental
phrase "Could it be that...")
