I try to thank them for their good behavior ahead of time, and offer LOTS of praise when they succeed.

Our 3 yr old loves it.

Definitely works. My son, like most kids, loves to make others happy, so by telling him when he's doing something right, or encouraging him to try something, he learns more from this than by not saying/encouraging him at all.

Works the best and son responds well most of the time.

ALL THE TIME! Especially if they have younger siblings.

I use rewards with my two year old and give her choices before/during the time she's not listening. If she makes a good choice, she gets a treat- more grapes, a walk outside, a movie, etc.

Hard to figure out how to incorporate this when you need to discipline or correct a behavior. The positive redirection sometimes is just not enough. Could probably learn more here.

Behavioral intervention works very well, but is time and energy dependent and intensive.

I love her so much - I can't give her enough positive reinforcement - she had a rough start to life.

It is amazing how much positive reinforcement makes him feel special.

Reward the positive, ignore the negative. It really does work!

Very helpful, but too often I use material things. Need to use fun things to do together more often.

This one so far is my best one. I praise him when he listenes, and does what he's told, the next time he'll run to me and say "mommy look... I did this...."
