Reinforce with specific positive comments such as you noted in catching them doing the right things not the negative behaviors.I also agree with the two choices for noncompliance. Let them know what is expected and stick to it. Focusing on the positive, praising the right choices, being consistent and firm while repeating your expectations and how we use self control will definitely eliminate behaviors and allow children to have control while making their own choices while not being told what to do. Ignoring tantrums is also a great idea. Once recognized it gets attention and that behavior will continue. You are so right on with you comments. :) Name: Email: Subject
