Cassidy often fails to complete homework before bedtime. As a fifth grader she knows she needs to do homework when she gets home, but she gets on her computer and plays video games with her friends and other random players. When her mom gets home, it's time to help with dinner and chores. Her mom, believing Cassidy is old enough to take responsibility for her homework, doesn't like to hassle with Cassidy over homework before bedtime. How might Cassidy's mom use cognitive behavior modification to improve this situation? In your answer, include specific quotes the mom might use.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Suggested Response: Cassidy's mom might teach her daughter to use cognitive behavior modification to become self-regulated about completing homework after school. The process involves self-talk and self-instruction. The mom needs to model the process by showing Cassidy how she uses self-talk to complete important tasks.
She might use the example of planning meals for the week. She might say, What meals will I prepare for dinner each school night? Do I have the items I need to make each meal? What groceries do I need to get on Saturday?
Next, Cassidy's mom might roleplay the questions Cassidy could ask herself every day after school. What homework do I have? Which task should I do first? I'll make a list and check off everything before I play video games. Cassidy's mom might ask Cassidy to make a list of the questions she'll ask herself every day after school. Then she might follow up, checking with Cassidy after school the next day and periodically over the next few weeks.
