Marcus
Marcus (3 years 9 months) has been attending the Children Service 3 days since he was 2 years old. In the past several months the Educators have noticed that Marcus refuses to comply with group instructions consistently and, sometimes, becomes aggressive when required to do so.

The Educator decides to observe the behaviour using the ABC method over time, on various occasions.
The Educator uses the ABC observation method to record the behaviour:
A = Antecedent (what happened before)
B = Behaviour (what actually happened)
C = Consequences (what happened after)
Below is an example of one of the ABC observations for Marcus.

ABC Method
Child’s Name: Marcus Child’s Age: 3 years 9 months Date: 11/6/XX
Antecedent Behaviour Consequence
The Educator calls out that it’s time for everyone to go to the door and wait to go inside for lunch time.
Marcus runs to the other end of the playground and stands with hands on hips Educator goes over to him and explains that he needs to join the others near the door. She then takes his hand and walks with him, placing him at the front of the line because that’s where she needs to be.
Educator Observation Interpretation
Interpreting the ABC observation the Educator suspects that Marcus’s goal for the behaviour is to get extra attention from the Educator and to get what he wants e.g. be first in line. He achieves this by using the behaviours of concern. At this stage we don’t know if this really is the function or purposes of his behaviour, so further observations are completed.
Educators Observe and Collect Further Data
The Educator continues to observe the daily transitions behaviour and decides to use an Event Sample. An Event sample will record exactly how frequently and in what situations the behaviour occurs.
Below is an example of one the Event Sample observations for Marcus.
Event Sample
Child’s Name: Marcus Child’s Age: 3.9 years Date: 18/7/XX
