Ignoring is only acceptable is safety is not an issue
Can give out reinforcers to entire group or explain to the group that the difficult child is getting what he needs.

Edible/chip/ lottery ticket if caught being good.

Tokens have a value - the more tokens earned from good behavior then the more reinforcers the child can purchase due to good behavior.
Reinforcement Delivery System: Behavior Contract
A written agreement with child/group defining behavioral expectations and rewards (or punishments)
