How do I start an APA Essay on changing a behavior of a child?

I need a format, maybe an example? This is a five to six page using at least three references, the key focus would be to identify the problem, create a clear and realistic plan and then impliment it. This is the first essay I’ve had to do since high school. I’m a mature student taking a course for the first time in 25 years. I just need the format, and any ideas would be great! thanks

Ok, I don’t know if I will be any help, but I wanted to at least try. I just finished an APA paper tonight. APA papers are different than the typically MLA papers. Everything had headings. My headings were:

Chapter 1 – Introduction

Background – (Background on the child)

Statement of the Problem – (What behavior needs to be changed?)

Research Question – (What are you going to try doing? Put it in question form.)

Importance of the Study – (Why is it being done?)

Summary

References

Chapter 2 – Methods

Methods – (What are you going to do to change the behavior?)

References

Chapter 3- (This is where you write about how you changed the behavior)

Again, I don’t know if this will help, but I know how difficult APA can be when you are just starting to use it.

Good luck! I know you will do great! 🙂

Try focusing on hitting. Then impliment a reward system of extra game time, staying up a few minutes later at bedtime or extra one on one time w/the parent. Find something healthy and safe the child enjoys or likes and use it as the reward.
