“Let me explain… No, there is too much to explain. Let me sum up…”

I guess if I had to pick one thing, I was always reminded or punished when I did something wrong but I was never reminded or congratulated when I did something right.

My method of teaching with my son is both correcting him in the moment and remembering to thank him and award him when he’s doing a good job, even if it’s something mundane.

The result so far has been people constantly telling me how well behaved and obedient he is for his age. So I must be on to something.
