[QUOTE="Andy, post: 157023, member: 5096"] YEAH!!! I do think postive reinforcement goes a lot further than negative reinforcement. My kids feel that all they hear is the bad things from me - nothing they do is ever good enough. No wonder they just stop trying sometimes. So, I do think it is our jobs to also tell them that we notice when they do good. That we are happy for them when they have accomplished something or given it their best. Waiting a few minutes is smart. One cold winter day easy child demanded that I be out of daycare in 15 minutes or she would walk to school. I made sure it was 20 minutes (watched from the window) and acted very surprised she was still in the vehicle. "I didn't have my snow pants." So, the next day, as I take difficult child into daycare, I hand her the snowpants and say, "Here are your snowpants in case you can't wait until I come out." [/QUOTE]
