But spanking or giving extra chores is positive punishment. Negative reinforcement is taking away an unpleasant chore or saying they don’t have to eat their veggies tonight. Negative punishment is taking away privileges or special treats. Skinner is rolling over in his grave at how modern misconceptions completely destroyed his life’s work.

Ah. Life is a process! Some days we get it… other days. Well, it’s nice we get a do-over. It’s called tomorrow 🙂

Every time I turn to more sour language it comes back to bite me in the butt. Turning on the honey — it always turns things around.

Perhaps bragging as in being boastful — I would definitely agree with that. But when we sit at the dinner table, I will “brag” about what my son did today to his dad. It lets my son know that he did a stupendous job.

]]> By: Eli@coachdaddy https://mommyevolution.com/role-positive-reinforcement-in-parenting/#comment-75805 https://mommyevolution.com/?p=13585#comment-75805 I agree with so much of this – but I think the one I agree least with is bragging to others about them. I think that creates the idea that when they do well, or even just what they’re supposed to, they should brag about it.

Positive language is so important! We kids of the 70s grew up hearing how awful we were many times. Don’t take your frustration out on your children.
