Abstract
Childhood Aggressive Behavior. This study aims to reduce aggressive behavior in early childhood
using time out procedures and differential reinforcement. This study used a single subject research
method with A-B-A-B design. The research subject is a child aged 5 years. Data were collected using
interviews, observations, and documents which were finally analyzed descriptively. The results
showed that the time out and differential procedures showed positive changes by reducing the
frequency of aggressive behavior. The average number of aggressive behavior was 26.5 times (A1), to
an average of 11.6 times (B1) after the first intervention was implemented. In condition A2, the
means were 5.1 and 4.4 in the intervention condition B2. The results of the graph analysis within
conditions show the change in the positive level and the stability of the trend from the variable to
being stable. Overlapping data of aggressive behavior reached 100% between conditions (A2-B2).
The use of time out and differential procedures has succeeded in suppressing the frequency of
aggressive behavior of a child in Kartika XXI-20 Pakowa Kindergarten Early Childhood Education,
Manado. After the research is complete, there is maintenance and generalization of behavior.
Children no longer showed significant aggressive behavior after graduating in group B with a different
class teacher.
