PBIS at Home... The Big Ideas
1) Clearly define and communicate expectations.
Tell your child(ren) exactly what you want them to do. Identify situations in which appropriate behavior is important. Teach with examples and nonexamples of appropriate behavior. MODEL expectations through your own behavior!!!
2) Give frequent, positive reinforcement for appropriate behavior.
Look for opportunites to praise your chid(ren), and praise them on the specific behavior that they have practiced. Catch them doing something good! Try to praise them five times more than any one negative comment that might have been made.
3) Actively supervise your child(ren).
Watch and interact with them while they engage in chores and play. Communicate your interest in and awareness of their activities.
4) Precorrect and intervene early.
"Nip the problem in the bud!" Precorrection involves seeing a possible problem coming and changing it before it happens. Do not yell at a child for a behavioral issue that he/she has not yet committed, but instead, use the opportunity to reteach the expected behavior.
