Old school Behavior: Modification uses the fact that positive or negative attention reinforces a behavior, so you "reward behaviors you want" ; " ignore behaviors you don't want". Tell the child the " rules" ; consequences when both of you are calm. "walk-don't talk" a child into time-out without making eye contact.
