3 times a day communicate with the child using their love language: Quality time, touch, words of affirmation (how valuable you are to me), acts of service (i.e. making their favorite dinner just because)
Watch your language. Love the person, critique the behaviors. This is true when talking about anyone’s behaviors
Reframe weaknesses as strengths. Instead of stubborn, use determined. Instead of hyperactive, use energetic.
Remember that behavior is communication. Set them up for success not criticism… If a child is acting out
Do they realize the behavior is inappropriate in this context?
Are you expecting too much of them? (sitting still for an hour, “behaving” at a restaurant at 8pm, behaving at the grocery after school)
What are they communicating?
Do they have an alternate response to use?
