Words of Wisdom and Advice for Parents

When is repetition helpful in the discipline process and when is it not helpful? Repetition is helpful when it is POSITIVE. Some short positive phrases that can be repeated by parents are "Stay on task", "Focus", "Do it the first time", " Listen up", "Be kind", and "Use Words". These phrases are designed to keep the focus on positive behavior. They give the brain a "to do" message rather than a "not to do" message.
