Looking For An Easy And Effective Way To Improve Child Behavior? Because, You Found It!

Designed for ages 3 to 9, this child cognitive behavioral system improves child behavior by replacing family or classroom dynamics with a simple game children love. The system sets healthy boundaries, gives children the attention they need, corrects communication, helps develop a sense of responsibility, reduces anxieties, grows confidence and self-esteem; and it does it all through play.

Here are the three main tools to implement the system:

Tool #1 — Child Behavioral Agreements

Setup three rules that describe the behaviors you want from your children and the reasons why. Keep agreements positive and explanations clear. This tool is designed to improve communication. When Children understand the reason why a behavior is expected of them, they are more likely to agree and follow through. Here’s an example:

Agreement #1: Always Be Polite.
Because… You treat others the way you want to be treated.

Agreement #2: Cooperate
Because… In a family, everyone has to help.

Agreement #3: Follow Our Instructions
Because… There isn’t always time for an explanation.

These three agreements cover all the basics to support good behavior. You’re more than welcome to use them as they are, or customize them to fit your situation.

Tool #2 — Child Behavioral Levels With Consequences

The system is comprised of 4 levels, each with its own color, name and image of our puppy, Roger Good. Each color or level is attached to consequences. This system helps children earn their privileges. Making something such as time spent on electronics, a reward for good behavior and cooperation.

Children start each day on green, Good Puppy.
If they do well, they remain on green, Good Puppy.
If they do super well, they can move up to blue, Super Puppy.
If they don’t follow the agreements, they move down to yellow, Silly Puppy.
If they stray again, they go down to red, Naughty Puppy. Red may require a time out. A time out is a time to look at our emotions and figure out what made us stray and how to get back to green. Help children get back to green by suggesting good deeds to make up for their behavior.

Fill out the consequences on the back of each card:

Green should have all the privileges the child usually has.
Blue should have extra privileges.
Yellow should represent a loss of some privileges.
Red should represent a loss of all privileges.

Tool #3 — Child Behavioral Chart & Journal

Make a safe space every night to sit down with your child and review the days’ behaviors. This will give you the perfect opportunity to bond and discuss questions children may have, away from the situation.

Do this every night in order to build a journal, to review behavior and to view the progress made. Later on, this journal will become a piece of nostalgia; something to keep in mind when writing it. Make it something fun to look back onto.

Curb Your Child : Share The Game!

What Is The Most Effective Way To Improve Child Behavior?

The most effective way to curb children’s behavior is to teach children to manage their own behavior, of course. Teaching children critical thinking and the value of making good choices, will help them make good choices when on their own. It should also launch them into a life of good choices. Choices driven by smart thinking, not fears or emotions. Giving children a chance to cooperate, an opportunity to ask questions, to understand and to be involved in their own education, is the most respect you can give them. Respect builds trust and commitment to agreements.
