POINTS FOR PARENTS

Always praise and reinforce positive behaviour and attitude. However, the converse also applies – you must apply sanctions against poor/unacceptable behaviour and negative attitude. Parents are often quick with the first and are reluctant with the second to the ultimate detriment of the child.
