Ep #64: Increasing teaching opportunities

Increasing our teaching interactions means that we are both teaching new behavior skills and reinforcing those skills that have already been taught.  If we only teach behavior skills but don’t show our kids how to use those skills in their everyday situations, they won’t be effective. They need to learn how to apply what they have learned when they are upset, frustrated, or happy. Teaching opportunities apply to every member of the family. While we may be teaching a specific behavior to one child, we should be helping all members of the family deal/cope/or help with that behavior skill. We may be teaching one child to reduce negative behaviors while preparing the rest of the family to use Effective Communication to describe how those negative behaviors make them feel.  The more parents can involve all members of the family in teaching and using skills; the more successful your child will be.
