the behavior will decrease at first, but return when the student gets his/her second wind.

Teachers effectively create motivated and capable learners when they
reinforce desired behaviors and reinforce student progress frequently.
teach students to monitor and reinforce their own behaviors to promote self-regulation.
use multiple examples and real-life simulations to help students learn to generalize skills.
