Reinforcement Systems
This session will help parents learn practical ways to strengthen positive behavior using reinforcement. Caregivers will be guided in creating simple, effective reward systems such as token charts or point systems that motivate children and encourage cooperation. Parents will also explore strategies for gradually fading reinforcement, so children can build independence and maintain positive behavior without relying on constant rewards.
