Shaping is a method of positive reinforcement of behaviour
patterns in operant conditioning.
It is designed to induce new behaviors by reinforcing behaviors
that approximate the desired behavior.
Shaping trains a subject by rewarding proper behavior and
discouraging improper behavior.
The method requires that the subject perform behaviors that at
first merely resemble the target behavior; through reinforcement,
these behaviors are gradually changed or "shaped" to
encourage the target behavior itself.
The counselor looks for the desired behaviour, waits until it
occurs, and reinforces it when it occurs.
In essence, the counselor catches the child in good
behaviour and rewards it.

There are two kinds of reinforcers:
Positive reinforcers are favourable events or outcomes that are
presented after the behaviour.
Example: The giving of positive reinforcers such as rewards
increases a behaviour like creating an excellent work of art.
(Positive Reinforcement increases a behaviour by giving or
providing a positive outcome or pleasant event.)
NEGATIVE PUNISHMENT
Negative punishment is also used to decrease a behavior
and is removing something pleasant after the behavior.
Example:
Ted gets a RM300 fine for missing class without reasons.
Money (something pleasant) was removed to decrease the
behaviour of skipping class.

Modelling consists of exposing the child to one or
more individuals who exhibit desired behaviours,
either in real life, film or YouTube presentations.
The models may be friends, classmates, adults ,
book/TV characters, and even the counselor.
