You are working with a 9 year old child (Marty) who has become quite disruptive and destructive. This child tends to antagonize a particular group of other kids whenever they are playing. Marty typically goes over to the playing children and destroys whatever they are playing with. Even when playing together with other children, Marty tends to at some point get destructive and interrupt the playtime with aggressive behavior. It has gotten to the point where the other children do not want to play with Marty anymore. Choose your punishment procedure. Define it and describe how it will be applied in this particular situation (not in general). Also discuss why you would choose this particular procedure. In other words, sell the procedure.

Answer and Explanation:

First of all, it is necessary to talk to Marty and ask the reasons that are causing him to act this way and how he feels about it. That's because Marty may be facing some bad situation and that has been the way for him to act that way with other children. After listening to him, the adult should make sure that the triggers are eliminated from Marty's life, probably looking for a psychologist who can help him with this, but it is important that this adult talks to Marty, explaining the reasons why his behavior is wrong and cannot be tolerated.

Then, this adult must show Marty how to avoid this type of behavior and if this continues, Marty will be punished. This punishment will remove from Marty what he most likes to do, such as playing video games, internet access, weekend trips, or something else that Marty likes a lot. Whenever punishment is imposed, Marty should receive an explanation of why he is being punished and how he should behave.
