The mother of a child with "annoying behavior" tells the nurse, "I think my son is just trying to drive my husband and me nuts
We tell him to sit still and stop jerking his arms and he does for only a minute or two, and then he's back at it again. He's really annoying in church where it's quiet and he makes these loud grunting sounds. If you can get through to him and make him stop, therapy will be worth the money we spend." The nurse's best reply is: 1. "What you say about your son is pretty insensitive. How do you think he feels?" 2. "I know therapy seems very expensive to you, but your son is a very sick child." 3. "I think with the use of some behavior modification techniques, we can achieve control." 4. "Your son's behavior is due to brain dysfunction. He has no control over these actions."
