Every parent wants his child to shun anti-social behavior and disobedience, and rightly so. Parents continuously try to discourage bad behavior and enforce positive behavior. However, young minds need something to motivate them to behave in a disciplined manner, at first, and then this becomes their very nature as they mature. In order to reinforce positive choices by their kids, parents across the globe resort to positive reinforcement.
Positive reinforcement is when you acknowledge or reward good behavior. This kind of encouragement develops a ‘feel good’ factor among adults and kids alike and motivates them to keep doing the same thing again, if not better. Though it may seem simple it is quite an effective tool and helps to shape good personality and character.
Toddlers have an impressionable minds. They learn quickly and also get influenced easily. When you encourage your child if he behaves well or does something good it puts the child in a positive state of mind and motivates him to do better. If you encourage him for good behavior and dissuade him for bad the child will learn to adapt to it. Positive reinforcement will greatly influence your child’s future behavior and even define his sense of right and wrong.
Positive reinforcement is a great way of encouraging young kids, the child gets to know that his efforts are being recognized and appreciated. For example, pushing a child to keep his toys in the basket can be a herculean task, but whenever he does so, tell him ‘how much you love the way he keeps his toys arranged in the basket’. This will make the child strive to do more things that might as well please you. Plus, he assumes his own validity in your recognizing his efforts.
Children have to make many choices on their own, and fragile as they may be, their choices shape up their futures tomorrow. A child seeks recognition, validity, respect, praise and rewards, and this works as a great promoter of good behavior. Slowly, he will imbibe these values and will become a sensible adult.
Every child is different and in time parents learn what motivates their child. Use this knowledge to cultivate good behavior in your toddler. These small deeds will help you raise a strong, confident and good natured individual.
