TIP #34 FROM THE EVERYDAY MOTHER

 
Tip for positive behavior correction in toddlers
 
 

Instead of saying “Don’t hit!”, try saying, “please be gentle”.

We've had therapists in our home daily, since the moment we brought #LittleRichieM home from the NICU. Over the years, we have learned SO MUCH valuable information, and I don't ever want to lose it - so I'm sharing some of the tips I've jotted down along the way.

Lots of rephrasing, redirecting, and behavior modification. We're currently working on hitting and pushing, so you'll hear "please be gentle" at least 10,000x a day in my house right now.
