Behavioral Interventions for Parents

Often, the way you think about something is based on history and habit. The words you use can describe the same thing in either a positive or negative manner. When you choose your words, you also communicate an attitude.

Think carefully about how you interact with your children.  Rethink how you interpret a situation or comment. Praise whatever you honestly can, or your child will not believe/value your comments, nor grow from them. The following is a list of strategies that require structure and consistency when dealing with your children:

• Teach the Skills of Anger Management
• Strive for Order & Keep Things Calm
• Have a Positive Attitude
• Maintain a Close Watch
• Work for Success
• Be a Detective
• Rules – Consequences – Rewards
• The Home-School-Child Care Connection
• Promote a Positive Attitude in Your Family
