Behaviour Therapists Recommend A Very Effective Way For Parents To Increase Positive Child Behaviour Is By Praising The Child & Making A Fuss Of Them When They Show Positive Behaviour.
Examples From A Behaviour Analyst Of Ways In Which Parents Could Incorporate This Into Their Parenting Approach:
“You’re So Good At Sharing.”
“I Love It When You & Your Sister Play So Nicely”.
“You’re So Good At Being Gentle Around Your Baby Brother”.
Findings From Studies In The Field Of Behaviours Analysis, Show That It Not Only Builds Their Confidence, Makes Them Feel Great, & Nurtures The Bond Between The Both Of You…
But Child Therapists Highlight That It Also Makes It More Likely That They Will Present With Less Behaviour Challenges Going Forward, Such As Less Difficulty Managing Anger, Less Tantrums, Less Negative Attention-Seeking Behaviour (More Positive Connection-Seeking Behaviours), Less Sibling Rivalry Etc., & That They Will Display Positive Behaviour Again At Another Time As They Were Rewarded With Praise & Attention When They Done It Before.
