Sorry I sent my comment to soon. So if a child is having a meltdown because he can’t have the toy, how do we redirect without giving him attention. I am just looking for examples. Thank you so much. I really enjoy this channel😀

Hi! If it's a recurring issue, then there would hopefully be some proactive strategies in place that you could redirect to (eg: token board, visual schedule, etc). Otherwise, you could redirect back to what the child should be doing, directing to another activity, etc. without saying "No, stop screaming" or addressing the actual behaviour at all. So if a child wanted the toy and when it was all done, the child had a meltdown, I would try my best to help the child move on without giving them the item or addressing the meltdown. There are different types of attention and you want to withhold the type of attention that is maintaining the behaviour. You can attend to the child and also ignore the behaviour. Does that help?
