BE CREATIVE IN PREVENTING UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR What works for one child may not work for another. Respond to your child’s behavior problems in a variety of ways, but always with love. Each situation may require a different approach. - Consider rules as tools that provide predictability, consistency, and stability for children. - Help your child plan for changes. - Catch your children being good and tell them how it affects others. - Don’t reinforce unacceptable behaviors and even try ignoring them sometimes. - Provide dependable, predictable routines. - Set limits on the use of space, time, objects, and activities. - Try to understand what your children are communicating to you even when their behavior is unacceptable. - Encourage exploration and curiosity, but keep your child safe. - Distract and redirect your children’s attention when they are doing something you don’t like. - Try to avoid unnecessary conflicts. - Avoid labeling your child—label behaviors instead. - Do not hit, shake, or verbally abuse your child. - Stop unacceptable behavior as soon as it starts with explanations and consequences. - Redirect negative behavior. - Take away favorite privileges if the behavior does not stop. - Sometimes, just say “no.” - Sometimes, ignore the wrong behavior but don’t allow it to continue. - Use humor to deflect angry or tense situations.
