and  remarkable  for  his  calmness  and  discipline.”

PARENTING  PRACTICE  4    Strengthen  Desirable  Behavior

“Research  has  shown  that  the  most  effec2ve  way  to  reduce  problem  behavior  in  children  is  to  strengthen  desirable  behavior  through  posi2ve  reinforcement  rather  than  trying  to  

weaken  undesirable  behavior  using  aversive  or  nega2ve  processes.”

PARENTING  PRACTICE  4      Simple  &  Effec5ve  Training

•  Model.    Children  should  see  you  authen5cally  engaging  in  the  character  quality  – When  child  approaches  my  computer,  I  can’t  block  them  

•  Rehearse.    When  you  an2cipate  an  natural  opportunity  to  use  a  Value-­‐in-­‐Ac2on,  give  your  child  a  chance  to  problem  solve  BEFORE  the  problem  –  “I  see  your  brother  coming  near  your  fort!    How  are  you  going  to  

use  a  kind  body?    …Oh  that  sounds  like  it  will  work!    But  what  if  he  knocks  down  the  pillow?”  

•  Celebrate.  Celebrate  the  good  &  highlight  the  natural  posi2ve  consequences  –  “He  knocked  down  your  pillow  but  what  did  you  do?    You  didn’t  

just  build  it  up  again  did  you?!    What?!    Did  that  work?  Wow!”      

Page 29: 5 Parenting Practices for a Peaceful Home, Week 3

PARENTING  PRACTICE  4      Super  Strength  Training

•  Role  Play.    Create  FUN  invita2ons  to  prac2ce  using  the  new  skills  –  “Let’s  build  a  fort!    I’ll  be  you!    You  can  be  your  brother!”  

•  Read  Aloud.    Read  or  tell  stories  that  showcase  the  real-­‐life  value  of  a  par2cular  character  trait  –  “I  no2ced  that  Henry  gave  Benny  an  important  job  to  do  while  

they  were  working  together.”  

•  Make  a  Social  Story.    Work  with  child  to  document  (take  photos/draw/write/make  movie)  why  &  how  a  new  behavior  works  in  a  personal  way  –  “Okay  what  will  happen  in  the  first  scene?”    

Page 30: 5 Parenting Practices for a Peaceful Home, Week 3

PARENTING  PRACTICE  4.5    What  about  correc5on?  

Sister  hits  brother  when  he  knocks  down  fort  •  Disapprove  – (Shake  head  no)  “We  don’t  use  our  hands  to  hit”  

•  Affirm  Family  Value  – “We  kind  words  &  a  kind  body  in  our  family.”  

•  Confidently  &  Compassionately  Close  Road  – “Looks  like  the  fort  is  too  difficult  to  share  right  now.    I’ll  clean  it  up  &  if  you  want,  you  can  try  again  aker  snack.”  

Page 31: 5 Parenting Practices for a Peaceful Home, Week 3

PARENTING  PRACTICE  4.5    Oh  no!  Now,  what  about  meltdowns?  

1.  Problem  behavior  is  not  a  sign  of  bad  paren2ng  nor  future  incarcera2on  2.  Step  back  &  breathe  3.  Transform  into  the  Electric  Grandmother  

–  Child:  “No!!    You  can’t  close  my  fort!”  –  You  say:  “I  know  its  hard  honey”  &  keep  cleaning!    

4.  Do  not  nego2ate  –  Child:  “I  am  going  to  hit  you!”    –  You  say  :  “Sounds  like  you  are  frustrated.    Do  you  need  something  to  hit?”  &  

give  her  a  pillow  while  s2ll  cleaning!    5.  “Just  keep  swimming!”  by  calmly  keeping  busy  &  holding  your  course  

–  Child:  Flailing  about  –  You:  Finished  cleaning!    Sit  nearby  &  do  something  else  

6.  End  with  hope  –  You:  “It  is  hard  to  use  a  kind  body  when  your  brother  knocks  down  your  fort  

but  next  2me  I  am  sure  you  will  remember  to  ask  for  help!”

That  way  doesn’t  work  any  more.    I’m  sorry  that  way  doesn’t  work  any  more.    I’m  sorry  

that  way  doesn’t  work  any  more…  

When  meltdowns  occur,  try  to    physically  take  one  step  back  &  breathe.
