General Strategies

• Acknowledge positive behaviors. Model gratitude and build self-awareness by thanking your child for their hard work in a specific way (ex: "I'm really impressed with how you kept trying even though you didn't know the answer")

• Use reward charts when your child struggles to stay focused and persevere when things get hard. It is important to fade them once your child has developed the ability.

• Ensure your expectations are within the level of your child’s development. Rewards will not override developmental readiness.
