[quote=Anonymous]I thank children for choosing good behavior, especially when I can see they struggled to make that choice. I thank them for doing their chores and lavish on extra when they do it without being asked. I compliment effort (rather than product) for schoolwork. While I’m happy to hear kids vent, I ask them to think about the situation and brainstorm how it could be better. When siblings fight, they take a 3-5 break, then both get a chance to tell me what happened. Normally, somewhere in between the two stories, they decide that nobody needs a consequence, because they both did things they shouldn’t. Regardless, they hold hands, look each other in the eye and say three things they like about each other, alternating until they’re done. One of my favorites, is the birthday jar: https://pintsizedtreasures.com/birthday-thoughts-in-a-jar-game/[/quote]
