[quote=Anonymous]Regarding rewards: You never offer a reward in a meltdown stage. You target desirable behavior. Set goals that will improve the livability at your house, like your child being in charge of getting herself ready for bed calmly. Then you reward that nightly with something that is logically connected to the behavior you want to see. Maybe your child picks out the bedtime story book or gets five extra minutes of being read to. It’s ok to have consequences along with rewards. The book Parenting with Love and Logic explains this well. You also try to “catch your child being good” in day-to-day activities. This doesn’t require reward, just verbal praise. Be specific in what you praise: “Wow, I noticed you dressed yourself and were ready to go to school early today,” “Thanks for being so careful with the dishes when you helped to clear the table,” “You were very kind when you were playing with your brother earlier,” etc.[/quote]
