Right and Wrong Choices

  • teach the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behavior
  • explain the consequences – pleasant for good behavior and unpleasant for crossing the boundary
  • tell them that the choice is theirs
  • teaches them to take responsibility for their own actions
  • reward “right choices” with descriptive praise
  • use a “star chart” or the equivalent for persistent issues
  • have negative consequences for “wrong choices.”
