Episode notes
Check The Ratio Before Correcting
- Before you reprimand or correct, check how often you've already said that today.
- Balance corrections with compliments so your child hears encouragement as well as corrections.
Negativity Can Be Crushing For Kids
- Imagine how often children hear hey, no, stop, and what are you doing; constant negativity can be crushing.
- Ensure interactions also treat children as people you like who make your life better.
Intentionally Compliment And Encourage
- Try to keep a balance so children do not only hear corrections and criticisms.
- Compliment and encourage them occasionally to reinforce positive behavior and connection.
