[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We use a positive approach 95% of the time. Instead of "No throwing mulch" it is "mulch stays on the ground". "No yelling" it is "too loud, my ears hurt, use a good voice".[/quote] This. If they hear “no” all the time, they start to tune it out. Telling them what you want them to do instead sets up a better chance of success. And they’re more likely to actually listen to “no” in a truly dangerous situation. [/quote]
