CentralReach "ABA On Call" Season 8 Ep 7: Parenting Problems Through a Behavior Analytic Lens
About this episode
The episode discusses parenting challenges through a behavior analytic perspective, addressing misconceptions about reinforcement and analyzing family dynamics.
In this episode of ABA on Call, Rick Kubina and Doug Kostewicz respond to two real parenting questions drawn from social media. First, they examine the common misconception that reinforcement and bribery are the same, clarifying the behavioral principles underlying reinforcement, incentives, schedules of reinforcement, and the Premack Principle. They then analyze a complex family situation in which young children consistently seek one parent while rejecting the other, demonstrating how behavior analysts use objective data, motivating operations, attention, and reinforcement contingencies to understand and address challenging family dynamics. Throughout the discussion, the hosts illustrate how behavior analysis provides compassionate, practical, and evidence-based solutions to everyday parenting concerns.
