Normal 0 If your child doesn't act like a prince or a princess attimes when you need her to behave, try using a few simple parenting techniquesto help your child learn positive behavior patterns. Positive behavior is learned. Make sure you model the way you want your child to act. As an example, if you want her to be quiet(talking in whisper voices instead of yelling voices) during a movie at thetheatre, talk to her before hand that when we talk loudly or chatter during amovie, other people can't hear and it is annoying to them to listen to childrentalking while the characters in the movie are also talking. Mommy and Daddy are not going to talk duringthe movie and we expect you not to either. Then stick to it! You could alsotalk about one of their role models and how they would behave. For example, Princess Cinderella talks inher quiet voice when she is out in public. Reward positive behavior and discourage negativebehavior. For example, have anincentive, like a small gift, for good behavior. If your little girl talks during the movie, she does not get theincentive. If she is quiet for thefirst 30 minutes, she gets to her very own popcorn. After she eats the popcorn, if she speaks in whispers for thenext 30 minutes, she gets a small toy after the movie, etc. Set clear expectations before hand and thenstick to what you say. If she doesn't"earn" her prize, don't give it to her. Make sure you have set realistic goals for her to reach so shecan succeed and learn that good choices lead to positive reinforcement. Many parents have a hard time taking their young children tothe grocery store. Kids get bored,wander off, and get in trouble. A greatway to keep them occupied and engaged is to give them their own list (if theycan read) or have them help you pick out items you need. Next on our list is apples, which apples doyou want? Then have them get a bag,fill it up, and put it in the cart. Youwould then say, next will you help me find the aisle that has birthdaycakes? After shopping, let your kidsunload the cart and help bag the groceries so they are not asking for thecandies that grace the sides of the checkout line. Restaurants are also a dreaded outing for parents with youngkids. Usually kids act out due toboredom. A child's attention span isextremely short. Again, set clearexpectations before arriving at the restaurant. Model correct behavior yourself and tell them what their"hero" or "princess" would do in a like situation. Explain that they are expected to act as aprincess would at the restaurant. Bringquiet and activities for them to occupy their time and involve them in yourconversations so they don't get bored. If they have bad manners or cry out and act up, take them out of theenvironment. Go out and have them sitin a time-out for one minute per year old they are. When they calm, tell them what you expect and take them backin. It will only take a couple timesfor them to learn. Most kids will be soshocked and embarrassed that you actually took them out of the environment,when they get back, they will not want to act up again. For good behavior, you will want to rewardthem immediately with descriptive positive praise and affection. Say something like, "You are being sogood at the restaurant! You didn't evencry and scream once. We are so proud ofyou and know that we can take you to do special things in the future becauseyou are acting so grown up!" As you can see, a few simple techniques can help transformnegative behavior into positive behavior in your children.
