Are you accidentally rewarding bad behavior? 😳 Most parents don’t realize they’re doing this: They react immediately when their child acts out, but ignore good behavior completely. The pattern: Throws toys → Instant attention Plays quietly → Nothing Hits sibling → Full response Shares nicely → Ignored Your child is learning: bad behavior = parent’s attention. The fix? Start catching them showing the behaviour you want to see more of “I noticed you waited so patiently—thank you!” “You’re being so gentle right now!” “I love how you used your inside voice!” Try the 5:1 rule: 5 positive comments for every correction. What gets attention gets repeated. If you only respond to chaos, you’ll get more chaos. Which parent are you right now? 🟥 Reactive (stuck in the cycle) 🟩 Proactive (building confidence) Share one behavior you’d like to see more of !👇 . . . . . . . #parentingtips #parentingcoach #momlife #positiveparenting #parentingadvice #toddlermom #consciousparenting
