Parent training is a child-rearing support program created in the United States that teaches children how to praise and give instructions.
Since there is a lot of content, we will introduce some of them here, focusing on keywords.
Additionally, the Children and Family Support Center holds courses several times a year.
"attention"
This is a way for parents to change their child's behavior by paying attention to their child's behavior.
For example, suppose a parent praises a child's behavior when the child takes off their shoes and puts them in order.
The child will then feel happy, want to be praised again, and will want to repeat the same behavior more often, which will eventually change the child's behavior.
The key is to pay attention to and praise your child's positive behavior.
"25% rule"
When a child is putting away their toys, you often wait until they have put everything away before praising them (100%), but with this rule, you should start praising them when you see them starting to put away their toys (25%).
If you think about it that way, there are many times to praise your child, such as when they put one toy away, when they put away three toys, and when they put away all of them.
The key is to break down the child's desired behavior and praise not only the results but also the process.
This allows parents to pay more attention to their child's positive behavior, and the child has more opportunities to receive praise.
In addition, parents who praise children will have a positive impression on them, which will lead to a better relationship between parents and children.
"CCQ"
These are three important points when giving instructions to children, and are an acronym for "calm," "close," and "quiet."
If you have difficulty understanding verbal instructions, you can also use text or illustrations.
"Notice"
Even as an adult, it can be difficult to change your mind if you are forced to stop watching TV in the middle.
The same goes for children; once they start playing video games, they find it difficult to stop.
At that time, instead of forcing yourself to stop by saying, ``Stop right away,'' you can tell them in advance, ``Let's stop in 10 minutes,'' or ``Let's finish in 3 more times,'' which will give you more time to prepare and change your mind. It becomes.
If you can't read a clock or have trouble keeping track of time, you can also use a kitchen timer to tell the time by calling out in advance.
