​​​​​​​​​The Power of Positive Praise

While it’s important and necessary to ​correct your child’s negative behaviors, it’s a lot more fun (and ​just as important) to praise him or her for doing the right things. When children are constantly reinforced for positive behaviors, they gradually make those behaviors a permanent part of who they are and how they act. And you’ll love how your child lights ​up whenever he or she receives praise from you!​

Using Your Personalized Praise Box

  • Have your child color their ​personalized praise box, label it ​with their ​name and hang it on their bedroom door.

  • At the end of the day, have your child count all the good things they ​did.
