Parents in two families were experiencing difficulties in the management of their children's behaviour. One particular time of difficulty was at dinner. The specific interventions to decrease this dinnertime difficulty, and the general outline of a behavioural home based approach used with both families are described. Levels of appropriate behaviour increased markedly in both families.

While a great deal of effort has been directed toward the diagnosis of the battered child syndrome, perhaps Australia should direct the majority of its effort and money toward the implementation and evaluation of treatment programmes. It is proposed that the more effective treatment programme is based in the home of the family with initial daily home visits by the therapist to implement and teach proven techniques.

It is the present trend in dealing with youthful offenders that diversion techniques be utilized whenever possible. Staff and administration of existing treatment centres are to be commended for their efforts to reduce the number of youths placed in those institutions for treatment. However, there remains continual pressure from various areas to view these institutions as a desirable placement for any youth having behaviour problems in the community. Every effort should be made to view placement at these institutions as a last, and in most cases, an undesirable alternative treatment. It has been noted by various persons that while institutionalized, a youth learns "new and better techniques for committing additional delinquent acts upon his release (Wittey and Lawrence, 1973 p. 15)." Further rationale for discouraging placement in these institutions have been noted by others in stating that youths are labelled delinquent by being placed in such institutions and that once a youth acquires such a label, there is no effective way to remove it (e.g. Faust, 1973 and Elssuer, 1969).
