Teddy Tip of the Month for Parents: Winning Cooperation
Praise your child often when you catch him/ her behaving well; especially if your child is not in a cooperative phase. Kids repeat behaviors that get attention, so be more intentional about looking for positive behaviors and watch your repetitious behavior redirection slowly transition from "Stop" to "Great Job." Use phrases such as "I really love it when you..."or praise a behavior of a sibling doing something positively to get your other child to respond to the same behavior positively as well. Overall, it is not your job just to punish; you are showing your child what he/ she is supposed to do. Set a positive parenting foundation and build trust by creating a nurturing environment for your child. As you lay your foundation, your expectations can continuously become clearer.
Keep Being an Amazing Parent! You Rock!
