How can I use PBIS at home?
How can I use PBIS at home?
Implementing PBIS at home can help your child maintain behavioral expectations. You can develop a set of expectations or rules for your child’s behavior. Then, teach those expectations to your child, and recognize your child when he or she meets the expectations. The expectations will be the same in all areas of your home, including the dinner table, the common areas, the back yard, the car, and your child's room. When expectations are not met, natural and logical consequences are given.
Supporting Families with PBIS at Home FINAL.pdfGetting Started
Getting Started
Different homes may have different expectations for their children’s behavior. Whatever you as a parent decide is right and okay for your home, it is important that you set the expectations and follow through. Remember that every child is different, even children in the same family living in the same home. What works for some children will not work for all.
Some Guidelines to Consider:
Use positive wording.
Instead of “No throwing the ball in the house,” try “You can only throw the ball outside.”
Be a teacher.
When you have to say NO, give a reason why. For example, while shopping, your child asks you to buy him a toy. You tell your child, “No, we can’t buy that toy today because you already have a toy in the car that you can play with on the way home.” If your child accepts your answer, compliment him, saying something like “Thank you for being respectful and understanding that we can’t buy a new toy today.”
Acknowledge appropriate behavior.
Use positive reinforcement to teach your children which actions/behaviors are expected, accepted, or desired.
