If CBT theory states that in order to extinguish a behavior, one should ignore it, how do you make such an impression work in your private practice when someone is being obnoxious?
  1. Ignore the behavior
  2. Ask parents to address it
  3. Tell them to leave the room
  4. Give them a stern look
Explanation
Answer - A - While it may seem like a simple answer, it can be difficult to do when it comes to sitting in a room, waiting for an action to stop. Any other option would reward the behavior with attention, positive or negative. This is the only way to assure that no attention is given.
