There's nothing more distracting than your having your children misbehave, particularly when out in public, but what can you do to improve their behaviour? Here are a few tips to help guide them back to begin good, before things get out of hand!
- Give short term rewards for good behaviour
- Start a sticker chart or a way of showing that they have been good each day
- Don't criticise the child directly - you may criticise the behaviour though
- Don't reprimand in public or in front of friends
- Don't overload with instructions; instead give one instruction at a time
- Give lots of praise when you see good behaviour
- Be positive as much as you can
- Keep to a routine
- Make sure you tell them what's happening if it's out of the ordinary and explain what kind of behaviour you expect
- Be consistent
