π± How to Implement New Behaviors in Children
1. Set Clear and Simple Expectations
-
Use simple language suitable for the child’s age.
-
Example: Instead of saying, “Behave properly,” say “Use kind words” or “Keep your hands to yourself.”
2. Model the Behavior
-
Children learn by watching adults. Show the behavior you want them to adopt.
-
If you want them to be polite, always use words like “please” and “thank you.”
3. Use Positive Reinforcement
-
Praise the behavior immediately when the child does it.
-
Example: “I love how you packed up your toys! Well done!”
-
Use reward charts or stickers if age-appropriate.
4. Repeat & Practice Regularly
-
New behaviors need repetition. Practice daily routines.
-
Include games or stories to teach social or emotional behaviors.
5. Be Consistent
-
Make sure all adults (parents, teachers, caregivers) respond the same way.
-
Inconsistent responses confuse children and delay learning.
6. Break Down the Behavior
-
If it’s a complex behavior (e.g., sharing), break it into steps.
-
First teach waiting, then asking nicely, then taking turns.
7. Create a Routine
-
Children feel secure with predictable routines. Build desired behaviors into these routines.
-
Example: “After snack, we always wash hands and read a book.”
8. Use Visuals and Stories
-
Use flashcards, posters, or social stories to help explain and reinforce behavior.
-
At VIBY, these tools are often used to teach manners, safety, and emotions.
9. Give Choices
-
Giving controlled choices helps children feel empowered.
-
Example: “Do you want to clean up blocks or books first?”
10. Stay Calm and Patient
-
Behavior change takes time. Avoid shouting or punishing harshly.
-
Instead, use time-ins, gentle reminders, or redirection.
