How many of these interventions should I use at a time?
Obviously, you don't want to overwhelm your child at first, so I would suggest starting with only one or two of them. Be sure to give the intervention that you choose enough time to become effective. The worksheets (Expressions of Me) and the Feelings Journal can be given in conjunction with any of the other interventions without causing too much confusion. You can also hang the "Boredom Busters" on your child's wall since this is not really an intervention, but more of a reference.
Which of these downloads will work best for my child? (child's description is then given)
As the parent (or caregiver) it will be up to you to decide which of these tools will be most effective for your child. Remember to consider such factors as emotional development, social development, and academic level. Talk with other adults who know or have had contact with your child (such as grandparents, teachers, family friends, etc.) to help you make a decision.
What is a behavior contract?
A behavior contract is an agreement between two individuals that describes specific behavioral expectations. There is usually a reward for meeting the expectations and/or a consequence for failing to meet the expectations.

They provide structure and consistency.
They establish clear expectations.
