Parenting Tips

While some parents have learned about discipline, many parents do not know how to use the power of positive reinforcement. Picture this, you work in an environment where the only feedback you get from your boss is when you do something wrong. Sound kind of terrible? Well, many kids only hear from their parents when they are in trouble. In therapy, we call this a “punishing only” environment. Your kids need positive interaction with you too. Find out how to use positive reinforcement to help your kids learn new life skills.

In her recent series, “How to raise a decent human being,” therapist Angela Skurtu covers several tips about parenting.
