​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​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!
