I use a lot of positive reinforcement in our home. When my 2 1/2 year old little dude finishes lunch, I say ”Good job!” When he helps me put toys away, I say “Good job!” When he brushes his teeth before bed, I say “Good job!”
Today, I was surprised to learn that my toddler is a fan of positive reinforcement too.
Momma: “Momma needs to go potty, doodle bug. Come watch momma use the big boy potty.”
Reichen: “No.”
Momma: “C’mon, it’ll be lots of fun!”
Reichen: “Okay, Momma.”
I’ll kindly spare you the ugly details of the actual event.
Momma: “Okay, Reichen. That’s all there is to it. That was easy, huh?”
Reichen: “Good job, Momma!”
Momma: “Thanks, Buddy.”
