Positive Reinforcement: Middle Daughter
Positive Reinforcement

I have three daughters ages: 9, 7, & 3 years old. I use positive reinforcement differently with my two older daughters than that of my youngest. My oldest daughter is in third grade and my middle daughter is in first grade. I often use positive reinforcement strategies on them to praise them for a good job on their school work. When they bring home a graded paper that they received an 100% on they are very proud of the grade. I say to them that I'm proud of their good grade and I say encouraging words: Wow that is great, awesome, way to go, terrific, fantastic, right on, keep up the good work. I also give them …show more content…
During the week that they are “in trouble” they are not allowed to watch tv, play outside, play their Nintendo, play with any of their toys, go to their grandma’s house, or participate in any fun activity. Their punishment for the week is that they are “grounded” to their bedroom and they have to write 50 sentences per day, the sentences consist of: “I will improve my behavior” or
“ I am sorry I disobeyed and I will listen and do what is expected” or anything that has to do with why they got in trouble.

Punishment by removal is effective because when my children misbehave and do not obey the rules they know that the consequence is something that is valuable and rewarding to them will be revoked until they can display good behavior. They do not have the freedom to do anything that they chose and they have to do something that they do not enjoy doing, which is sitting in their bedroom writing

    A.) I believe that using consequences and the ABC process will help a lot in shaping their behavior. The reason for this if the consequences match the misbehavior it will make a difference in how the child sees their actions. The child will soon understand their behavior is bad and then this will cause their actions to change.…

    Children who are given positive praise and positive reinforcements are more likely to show this behaviour again. By giving praise and rewards the children will feel as though they're safe and protected and also allows them to feel that whatever they did was right and are most likely to achieve that again. Socially, the child will most likely feel safer, happier and more protected when they're with the person who has praised them. Intellectually the child will develop their understanding of what they were praised for and this praising will allow them to develop their understanding of right and wrong. Emotionally the child will feel happier and more confident in how they go about things knowing right and wrong.…

    Child discipline is something that we have all experienced personally in different forms, seen used on others, and is also to some degree what many of us will go on to practice later in life with our own children. Each person has their own opinion on what discipline is and how it should be used on children. The Webster dictionary defines discipline as “training to ensure proper behavior: the practice or methods of teaching and enforcing acceptable patterns of behavior.” Nowhere in this definition does it condone physical punishment, or say you need to use harsh and malicious strategies to acquire the behavior you seek. Discipline of children should be used in a positive manner, to encourage appropriate conduct, rather than be used as reprimand and physical punishment, because discipline is meant to help teach and guide children to act properly in accordance with the rules.…

    Tda 2.9 Promoting Positive Behaviour Essay

    If one child is praised (for example, for tidying up) others are often influenced to copy or join in so that they, too, will receive praise and attention. For young children, the reward must be immediate so that they understand the link between it and the positive behaviour. It is of little value to promise a treat or reward in the future. Similarly, star charts and collecting points are not appropriate for children younger than five years old. There are problems associated with rewards in that some children and young people may behave in a particular way purely to receive the reward rather than from an understanding of the need to consider safety, others and their environment or enjoying what they have achieved for its own sake. The type of reward also needs to be considered; for example, is it desirable for children and young people to be given sweets as rewards? Some parents may have strong views about this. Rewards might work in the short term, but do not always succeed in the long term. They might even undermine lifelong learning by encouraging children and young people to seek reward, rather than be disposed to learn because something is…

    Task 1.2 Positive Behaviour

    Sanctions and rewards are a very useful way to manage positive behaviour as a child learns that if they are well behaved he/she will receive a reward such as a sticker, certificate or award etc. They also know that if a rule is broken there will be a consequence no matter how big or how small, such as time out- time off rewards, staying in with staff and time off the playground. It is the ‘certainty’ of the sanction not the ‘severity’ that makes it so effective.…

    Tda 2.9 Support Children and Young People’s Positive Behaviour

    It is important that the adult influences of the classroom recognise and praise the positive behaviour of individual pupils – especially those who struggle to maintain good behaviour and tend to be told off more than others. It is also essential to praise constant good behaviour (from pupils who never misbehave) to avoid the development inappropriate behaviour. Children respond to all kinds of positive praise. In my setting, the class teacher and LSA’s often add positive words like ‘fantastic’, ‘brilliant’ or ‘well done’ when acknowledging their input towards the class. We also use house tokens to reward good behaviour. Giving the pupils a physical reward makes them feel that the efforts they make in their positive behaviour is very appreciated. The more we praise good behaviour of individuals, the more likely the pupil is to continue the good behaviour and maintain a positive attitude towards school and learning.…

    Essay for Competency Goal2

    My philosophy of guiding children’s positive behaviors is through praising children when they have done a good job at something. For example, if it is time to clean up and I see a child putting away toys nicely I will say “I like how you put away the toys Razi, good job”. Also a soft pat on the back when a child has accomplished a new task such as putting on their own shoes, n shows affection and pride. . In addition, when a child shares I show am glad they are doing such a great job. It is important to acknowledge their positive behaviors in order to encourage the children to keep it up. This approach is very different from the way I was guided as a child because when I was in school, the teachers would not say much whenever I had done something good, which made me feel like perhaps my positive behaviors and actions had been overlooked or did not matter much to my teachers.…

    People young and old have gotten into some kind of trouble in their life; this trouble ultimately resorts to some sort of discipline. For young kids and teenagers, that discipline is getting grounded: for adults it’s jail. Obviously these two things are very different, but if one thinks about the two long enough, one might realize just how alike these two subjects really are. Both similarities and differences are present when talking about being grounded or being in jail.…
