what words, tone of voice, and body language.

2. What are the strengths of your child. Ways to capitalize on your child's positive attributes.

3. complimenting and focusing on what the child is doing right.

4. emphasize what you want the child to do. For ex. Tell the child to please be quiet, instead of yelling at the child and say stop talking so loudly. You are always so loud. You do not know how to be quiet. After awhile the child will begin to believe that they do not know how to be quiet and that they are always loud. Where, as saying to the child please be quiet or please talk in a lower voice please, gives the message to the child respect and an example of how to politely converse to someone. A child learns from what they hear and see. When they hear yelling ; then the child thinks that yelling is the way to communicate. The child that hears polite respectful words the child will be inclined to repeat the words and actions for which they hear and see.

5. Ways to reinforce the positive actions of your child, the one's you want to be repeated. For ex. a chart, a journal , tangible and untangible items that will motivate your child to be good, or to do a repeat of the desired actions.
