Hi Everyone,
Today I thought I would talk about 'praise' as a positive form of discipline. Experts say that for every negative comment, you need 10 positive comments in order to counteract the fall out from that one negative comment. So the question remains, how often do you praise your children? One important thing to remember is to be mindful and aware of their behaviour all the time so that when something good is happening, you can jump in and praise that good behaviour. What 'good' behaviour means is actually another huge topic I could perhaps address another time.
Mark Hutton has an online parenting site with some good tips on praising your child. Have a look and let me know what you think. The link is here
