Bring out the very best in your child
Ten great ways to bring out the very best in your child:
1. Ways to reinforce the positve actions of your child; the one's you want to be repeated.
Children love to receive compliments.
Children have an enate way of wanting to please their parents.
Children will seek out either the positive attention of others or the negative.
The key is to catch every action of the child that you want to be repeated; and immediately follow it with a compliment. When a positive action of a child has been acknowleged the incident of the desired action will have a higher tendancy of occurring again.
The actions of the child, that is targeted as one to be omited, or lessened; can have a variety of strategies. The actions that are wanted to have a decrease in occurance, can be ignored, with only the desired ones acknowledged; is one option. When shaping a desired actions, a specific behavior may increase before it decreases, only to the point of the child realizing that the negative behavior isn't getting him/her any attention.
Another option is called a negative reinforcer/or positive reinforcement:
A child may be given a tangible object such as a sticker, smiley face object, or a token etc. A tangible object that the parent chooses.
The child will receive tangible objects for every positive desired action that is targeted to be repeated. When the specific action of the child hasn't been carried out as determined; the child will not receive the tangible object.
The tangible objects can be recorded on a chart. The chart is a visible oject for the child to keep up with his/her progress. The parent will be able to have a visible chart to view as well. The chart can be visited on a daily basis.
The reinforcement system can be set up on a fixed inteval, or an intermittent schedule. The fixed interval reinforcement schedule; consists of the child being reinforced consitently at the same time every day. The same number of times etc. everything will be fixed at exactly the same way each time.
Intermittent reinforcemnt schedule; is based on a reinforcemt may happen at any time. The child does not know when the reforcement will happen. The child will repeat over and over the positive actions towards the desired reinforcemnt.
The fixed intermittent schedule has the advantage; of child having predictability. The child knows exactly what actions to perform to receive a specific tangible reinforcemt item. The intermittent reinforcement schedule; consists of the child repeating a positive action several times.
Compliment the child for every desired action. Compliments, praise, and positive reinforcemts will bring out the very best in your child.
