[QUOTE="gingersgrl, post: 557689, member: 15420"] We just discussed positive reinforcement at her doctor visit a few weeks ago for medications. I try positive reinforcement but am very hesitant to give it because as soon as I tell her she's doing great at anything she stops doing whatever it is. The doctor asked her if that was true and she said yes. Of course the doctor then went on to tell her she was training me not to give her good feedback by her behavior as I have already told her time and time again. It's so hard when you want to tell them the good and you know if you do it will become bad too. I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place sometimes....most times. Anymore if I do tell her I'm proud of her for something or that she did a great job I find myself prefacing it with " I hate telling you this because I know your going to stop once I say it so please don't". It doesn't matter, she quits whether I say it or I don't once she gets the positive feedback. [/QUOTE]
