Behaviour

• Boundaries 


  Boundaries need to be set for children’s behaviour so they know what they can and can not do.
• Consistency

  • Parents must be consistent with boundaries so children don’t get mixed messages and are confused
  • This includes the boundaries set for siblings or other children.
• Promoting positive behaviour

  • When a child does something good, praising the behaviour will make a child feel good about themselves and they will want to repeat the behaviour
  • Ignoring poor behaviour is also a good way of limiting it.
• Reward Systems

  • Using reward systems such as a chart is another way for a child to see their good behaviour earning them a reward
  • This will make them want to repeat positive behaviour as they enjoy the effect their positive behaviour is having
