Making Behavioral Contracts Successful.

Carns, Ann W.; Carns, Michael R.

School Counselor, v42 n2 p155-60 Nov 1994

Describes techniques for successful behavioral contracting with children, such as positively defining the desired behavior, establishing a behavioral count, and rewarding the behavior. Argues that, in addition to impeding inappropriate or off-task behavior, the contracting system also works with children who are shy and withdrawn. (RJM)
