Praise Desired Behavior

While it is important to correct your kids when they are misbehaving, it is also important to let them know when they are behaving.

Praise and positive reinforcement can help them recognize good behavior and will help them feel proud of themselves.

To encourage good behavior, you can let your kids know when they have done something good. It can be verbal praises, but also non-verbal praises such as thumps up, or high fives.

Don’t wait until something big happens, the little things matter too. You can complement your kid’s effort and improvements.

If you include a reward along with praise it is more likely that the good behavior will happen again. However, be careful about overusing the rewards.
