Day 19 Better Parenting Challenge 2016

Benefits

To encourage a positive behaviour, parents can let their children know ahead of time how they can benefit from it. When childrn can see the benefit of doing something then they will more likely be more motivated to do it.

For example, you might say, "If you study then you'll get better grades than if you didn't" or " When you tidy your room, you'l be able to have more room to play".

Today's challenge is to find a benefit that will motivate your child to do something positive. 

It could be that you've been trying to get your child to share. Think of all the benefits to your child for sharing then choose the best one that is likely to motivate him or her the most. If your child is concerned about friends then you could say, "When you share your toys, you'll have more friends to play with". 

Now think up of some benefits for your child.

When you have done this then come and join me on my private Facebook group 'Better Parenting Challenge' where we can have a group discussion on today's action or anything about parenting.
