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.
Order a copy of Discipline That Works: 5 Simple Steps to read a detailed description of each of the short phrases and how they can be discussed with your children to provide them with specific directions on what you expect them to do when they hear the phrases.
