YOGYAKARTA Positive strengthening aims to improve the desired behavior by providing stimulus. Strengthening is positive, it can be by giving praise or appreciation to children for what they do. For example, when children behave well, parents encourage them to do it again with positive reinforcement.
When teaching children something new, it is important for parents to understand how to practice positive strengthening. Over time, good habits of children are formed. Strengthening positively is also better to teach things than to give punishment to children. The way parents practice positive strengthening, here are the steps.
There are two forms of appreciation that parents usually give to their children after they behave well. Namely by giving gifts of materials, such as toys, other objects, or money; and intangible rewards. Intangible awards need to be prioritized over tangible rewards.
Intangible awards that increase intrinsic motivation, give children verbal praise instead of giving toys or pocket money. Launching Parenting for Brain, Thursday, April 4, verbal awards are an effective way of using positive reinforcement.
Praise should provide useful feedback on the process, not just results. Avoid just saying 'Your work is good' and explain more specifically. If the child throws garbage, consider praising it with a statement like, Thank you! You did a great job of tying garbage well and meeting."
Praise should not be given just because it completes a task. Parents should consider all their children's abilities and guide their children in completing their work properly. So, always pay attention to every development of children's abilities and give praise at every stage, both successful and failed.

Instead of paying extra attention to children when they behave poorly, it is better to focus on good behavior. The goal is to strengthen their positive behavior. When children get enough attention from their parents through routine interactions, they don't need to act to get attention.
Research shows that the sooner positive reinforcement is introduced after its good behavior, the more effective it will be in motivating it in maintaining such behavior.
Positive strengthening is very effective if used properly. However, do not frame the child's perspective that positive strengthening is bribery so that they behave well. Understand that they are smart and children do not always expect praise.
