Describe which goal of behavior is being approached and what method is being used. Explain in a few sentences your rationale. Explain how you would handle these 3 situations.
1. 15-year-old David runs up to his room and does not want to talk to his parents. This happens over and over. When they ask him, he says, “I just want to be left alone. I don’t know why.”
2. 16-year-old Stacy is confronted by her parents for being on the pill without them having known. They lash out at her and say that she’s irresponsible. She lashes back at them and says, “this never would have happened if you guys were half decent parents when I was younger.”
3. 14 year old Michael joins a skate-board club at school as well as a surf-club.
I have attached the slides to help identify the different types of goals.
