Bad Behavior: Its Not Easy Being Three...


M’s behavior has been nothing shy of embarrassing lately.  She is such a great little girl but her actions have been saying otherwise.  As you know we are a non-spanking, non-swatting, and non-threatening family.   We like to "encourage" reflection time (or timeouts).  But as you know timeouts do not always work...so then what? 


Well...

I have decided to give the old behavior chart a try.  I let M pick the theme and the prize she gets after filling the chart.  Then together we went over a few things that she needs to work on:

 Listening

Washing Hands

Cleaning  Room

Bedtime




She seems really excited.  I will keep you posted on her progress.


Don’t have time to create your own behavior chart?  Try looking here.

  1. Making her feel like she is an active participant in her own behavioral change should work pretty well according to the world of psychology. :)
