Rewarding Good Behaviour
03/31/07 9:00 PM
When you think about rewarding good behavior remember that they do not have to be rewarded each time they behave as they are supposed to.
A hug and a kiss and a kind word is most often reward enough for children as that is what they want most from you.
When you start to reward them everytime for doing what they should be doing then they will misbehave if you don't reward them because they will be upset.
So always a hug and a kiss and occasionally a treat such as a piece of their favorite fruit or even a small candy.
Do not over-reward them with big items as they should be reserved for special occasions.

I really agree totally with that one. I have seen so many children who have tantrums right in the middle of the stores because Mommy won't buy them something like they do every time they go to the store.
I feel totally embarrassed for these parents but truthfully they have brought it upon themselves by teaching their children that when they go to the store they get something for themselves even if the parents are going to a hardware store for something specific. It is still a store and the "I WANT" starts to come out automatically.

Yes, I have also heard this so many times. Do not reward for a behavior that is already supposed to be done. We have done this with our little ones. And for the most part, we have children that know what is expected of them.

Appreciation is also one way of rewarding good behaviour. A 2 year old kid may not understand the word appreciation but you can show her through action. Simply giving her a round of applause for behaving well means a lot.

I have that problem with my 3 year old stepson. His mother let him get away with everything and once he came to live to with us he didn't want to behave. He threw tantrums, cried everything. We have only recently gotten him to the point where his behavior has gotten better.

We try not to reward good behavior if they know what's expected of them and do what they're supposed to. We generally say, "Good job" or something like that. However, there are times when they've gone above and beyond good behavior in a trying situation, and then I try to tell them how much I appreciated their behavior and try to do something extra nice for them.

I think that good behavior should be rewarded, but not predictibly. This means that kids learn to do what is right because it is right, and every once in a while there is a perk.

HAPPY FACES
05/06/08 12:36 PM
TO SEE ONE SMILE WHEN a parent enters the room, whether it be daycare, school, church or maybe even on the playgrounnd. To give them a big hug for a happy face means a lot to a child. Go ahead and put a sticker on their arm or forehead and tell them that you love them.
