Punishment

I favor a positive parenting approach, so I don’t use a lot of rewards and punishments in our house. However, there are times when these methods can be useful and I want to share some examples with you today.

When it comes to behavior modification, it’s most effective to use reinforcement/rewards when you want to increase a desirable behavior and punishment when you need to decrease undesirable behavior. I’ll talk more about this today.
