I do not enjoy having demands imposed on me by someone just telling me to do things their way. I do not like the my way or the highway type of approach. So, I really try not to use Plan A, unless there is maybe a fight in the hallway or some other dire situation that requires immediate attention and reaction. 
Plan B, I like Plan B. I like it when people can come to the table and have a conversation and a dialogue and I really am striving to break things down for my kids to understand why I am doing what I am doing at any given moment.
I worked with kids who had social emotional learning delays for a number of years and we always used positive behavior reinforcement strategies. Starve the negative, feed the positive. I never really agreed with that approach. I always thought it was a cookie cutter, one fits all approach. I like how Dr. Greene breaks down the three Plans, A, B, and C. Plan A does not work. Plan B takes a while to produce results but is very beneficial and effective in the long run. I will choose Plan B. Thank you Dr. Greene.
