The stages of changes are:
1. Pre-contemplation: The young person is unaware or under aware of their problem and does not intend to change.
2. Contemplation: A.k.a. “Maybe I should” stage. The problem is visible to the child and contemplates changing his or her behavior.
3. Preparation: The child begins to have strong intentions about change for the future.
4. Action: Behaviors are modified by the child to meet standards he or she has made.
5. Maintenance: Recognition and reinforcement is much needed during this stage as the child works to keep the improvements he or she has made. Changes the child has made in behavior will only continue through support and reinforcement.
