  Jeremiah cries every morning and tells his mother he does not want to ride the bus or go to school. He tantrums, yells and kicks as his mother walks him to the bus and escorts him to his seat. She then gives him a toy to play with while he rides the bus. Jeremiah stops crying and plays with the toy. This pattern is repeated every day.
