TARGET BEHAVIOR

TARGET BEHAVIOR

The Target behavior ‘Using cell phones around my son’

This behavior will be observable in terms of when I use my phone, how appropriate it is for me to use it at that time and place. Am I researching something for school, ordering something? Is what I am using the cell phone productive or is it just to look at random videos or use social media? By observing myself, data will be collected if I use it to be productive or for social media and unnecessary use? I am wanting to lower the unnecessary use of cell phone while I am around my son so as to give him my full attention. If the phone is used while he is present for unnecessary things, I will write down the duration of the use and count the amount of times I use to for unproductive reasons.

. The negative use will be from time to time observed and corrected immediately and then look into how long I use the phone and how to appropriately use the phone. This will happen as I will constantly observe behavioral change and record if there is any improvement or if there is no improvement, I will try to give positive reinforcement to try and amend the situation.
