Tucker is 2-years-old and has a habit of pinching people. A psychologist devised the following behavioral treatment plan to try to stop Tucker from pinching. Since Tucker's favorite toy was a garbage truck, the psychologist directed his parents to give Tucker the toy to play with as long as he did not pinch people. If Tucker began to pinch, then they were to take the toy away from Tucker for varying lengths of time. Tucker's parents were asked to record the number of times Tucker pinched during each day. Tucker stopped pinching after the first three weeks of treatment. Then, the treatment program was gradually withdrawn over the next month.
