[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 15602, member: 2423"] Allan, I've attended classes and taught at the Parent Encouragement Program in Kensington, MD ([url]www.parentencouragement.org[/url]), since my difficult child 1 was 4 years old. One of the earliest techniques we're taught is using encouragement instead of praise with our children. In our classes, we also cite Alfie Kohn's research as a reason for not lavishing rewards on children for getting them to behave a certain way. husband and I have fought using reward-based behavior plans with our children, even when our mental health professionals shake their heads in dismay (it seems rewards are the mainstay in their behavior toolboxes, which honestly is a sad state of affairs). Thanks for posting. I couldn't agree with Alfie Kohn more. [/QUOTE]
