Abstract | Positive behavior support, with its emphasis on teaching desired actions rather than punishing undesirable actions, can be a powerful tool for managing young people's behavior. In recent years, positive behavior support (PBS) strategies have been promoted as alternatives to traditional discipline for children and youth. School use of PBS has been shown to significantly reduce the number of children referred to the office for discipline. It also allows administrators and teachers to regain time otherwise spent managing problem behaviors. Recently, PBS strategies have been applied outside the classroom in settings including playgrounds and summer recreation programs. Though implementing traditional school-based PBS in out-of-school time (OST) programs may present challenges, PBS offers an appropriate alternative to punishment-based behavior management. The authors' studies of PBS implementation in two community summer recreation programs suggest that PBS is a promising method for promoting desired behavior among children in OST programs.
