The textbook definition of positive reinforement is the presents of a stimulus, one that is usually rewarding.Then followed by a response, which then leads to an increase in the future that strengths the response. I would have to say that personally for my husband and I we as parents of three teenage children have found that applying this concept even more in the recent years has improved behavior and overall performance in each of our children.Positive feedback even in the mist of improper behavior has proved to benefit the children as well as our own sanity.We find ourselves referring to this particular statment the principle of positive reinforcement informs us that, when a child demonstrates a behavior that we like, we should provide him or her with a result that he or she likes. But when he or she displays undesirable behavior, we should make sure he or she is not rewarded for it.
They like to know you're pleased and proud. Your praise keeps them coming back for more -- which is why they behave so much better when you reinforce their behavior with praise. What you praise is what you get. This is strongly implemented in the Knight household. We have through the use of positive reinforcment have built strong communcation ties with each of our children in a variety of ways. This to has raised self-esteem and confidence levels among each of the children. Positive reinforcement is also called Positive programming so if it works on simple things like VCR, well why not humans, positive programming promotes positive successful children and then adults. I guess I would have to say that with including positive reinforcement as daily in our parenting like the kids daily vitamins, well then my husband and I are making our children's as well as our own overall health a high priority then success not failure is surely to prevail in the years ahead.
