But our common reaction of "Just ignore it" is not a lasting solution to the problem. In this video, I teach specific skills for how to respond to attention-seeking behaviors by minimizing rewards from attention-seeking behaviors, going in the back to explore the function and needs beneath those behaviors, and then teaching and rewarding positive, connection-based behaviors.
