Behaviour Modification, how to stop a child spitting?
Looking for some advise and help in modifying some unwanted behaviour.
We have a child who will sit at the table at snack time and spit all over the table food and at other children.
Parents have complained about copy cat behaviour and one is threatening to pull their child out to get them away from the other child.
Lashing out and hitting staff is also an issue.
Asking child to stop results in child just laughing and carrying on, and positive discussions on the behaviour with the child..... "it makes me said when children spit, I like it when children sit nicely, when we hot it hurts others and they feel sad...." etc etc has no effect.
Discusssions with parents are difficult and usually goes " yes YXZ does it at home to" and that is about it.
Things came to a head this week with another parent and I need to call parent in tomorrow.
What I would like is some suggestions to deal with the unwanted behaviour strats and ways forward I could use on a plan to mostly curb spitting.
Thank you all for your help and suggestions
