Praise Box

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!

How to Make Your Praise Box

Using Your Personalized Praise Box

Have your child create and color their personalized praise box, label it with their name, and hang it on their bedroom door.
Whenever you catch your child being good, write down your praise statement on one of the cards provided and put it in the box.
At the end of the day, have your child count all the good things they did.
