Geraldine is a kindergarten teacher with 20 stu- dents in herclassroom. She runs a number of structured and unstructuredactivities in the classroom in which the children work individu-ally and in groups. She has found that when the students are ingroup activities that are less structured (e.g., when engaged inarts and crafts activities around a large table), some students actout. They engage in minor disruptive beha- viors that arereinforced by attention from the other children. Although thebehaviors are not  dangerous, they disrupt the class andset a bad example for the other students. Describe how Geraldinecould use reprimands effectively to decrease the disruptivebehavior.
