Behavior Contracts

A behavior contract is a written agreement between a person and a caregiver, teacher, or counselor that outlines specific behaviors to improve or change. It clearly states what the person will do, the expectations, and any rewards or consequences. This contract creates a shared understanding and accountability, helping motivate positive behavior changes through clear goals and agreed-upon steps. It is often used for children, students, or individuals working on personal goals, providing structure and clarity to support consistent progress.
