I love dishing out the positive much more than the negative.
The more positive strokes the better the behavior.
Absolutely
We have a vast selection of stickers and a sticker book which really has worked in a positive way, I sometimes think we'll be giving them stickers till they're 30!

I am always praising her on everything good that she does and ignoring her when she does something bad so she knows the only way to get positive attention is by doing good things..
catching him doing good things is always good
I try to correct her behavior with positive stuff and explain to her why it was wrong... but I do believe in spanking when things have gone too far.

kaiden and josh really respond well to this they love to please and now that i really praise all their good deeds instead of focusing on the negative they work more to hear the praise

This works wonders. We all like to hear good things ourselves so why not use it on our children, they are people too.
I can't seem to pull it together when I am frustrated, but it works great when I am in a good mood.
