Nanny 911 Discussion

Discussion No. 3- Nanny 911 This clip of Nanny 911 was about a family who had deuce young boys. The mother and father were having trouble absolute their sons behavior, one with his high energy and teasing, and the other with sleeping issues. The family was evaluated by the she-goat and she brought galore(postnominal) issues to light. Some of the offenses dealt with in this episode were the father wrestling with his sons, the oldest son, Ryan, pushing his mothers buttons all day long, and the youngest son not going to merchant ship in his own bed at night, often times screaming and crying for hours on end.The nanny put the family to the test with her strategies to reclaim order in the home. First, she brings up two points from her nanny book. The first, which is aimed at Christophers nighttime sleeping patterns, has a solution of giving the boy more independence as he is getting off to bed. The tonic would wait at the door for 5 minutes instead of lying next to Christopher in bed. This was a sort of weaning off strategy that in conclusion paid off. Next, the issue with Ryan and his mother sound off him, and he retorting with immaturity. The mother was to stop nitpicking and start positive acknowledgement of the boys achievements.This helped create a friendlier human relationship between Ryan and his mother, as he began easing up off of the immature badgering and bantering that he had previously been involved with. The type of conditioning displayed in this video segment was of course operant conditioning. The boys were being conditioned by their father in the wrestling and sleeping patterns, and by their mother in the nagging and smart replies back segments. All the conditioning was at long last resolved when the nanny broke the cycle of the stirs setting bad influences on their children. The children followed suit and began to obey their parents requests.The reinforcements displayed were positive reinforcement for the boys with their baseball chart, a c hart displaying good behaviors represented by a baseball for each good act. This chart is a positive reinforcement because it gave the children their freedom to enjoy their privileges as opposed to losing them. The father displayed Bandoras Bobo Doll behavior by wrestling with the boys. When someone gets cut, the father entitles the hurt boy to hit the other with a free shot. This behavior caused the boys to associate hitting with a form of handling situations.This caused more fighting and issues controlling the boys further. The law of frequency was seen here with Ryan reacting to his mothers comments on what the boys did wrong. Every time she said something, he would chime in, thus escalating the situation. His mother then would avenge Ryan for his talking back, which helped to illustrate a discrimitive stimuli example. Overall, the work of the nanny helped to offer a peace and balance to the family with their problems and going forward the parents now know what to do with their behaviors and ultimately will lead to a much happier and healthier home.
