Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw
Kids & Family:Education for Kids
In this very brief but very interesting episode, Dr. Shaw discusses the topic of providing reinforcement for your child's good behavior or good results. Her advice is simply to keep your reinforcement sincere and authentic. It's quite easy for a parent or educator to fall into a pattern of being agreeable or complimentary about something with a child when it's not necessarily merited. Dr. Shaw implores us to be specific with our compliments in order to reinforce exactly what was good about a particular circumstance, and she provides helpful examples of what to say and what not to say. She also offers thoughts on those moments when a child ASKS for compliments or reinforcements and discusses how to approach that scenario.
