Positive reinforcement

What is positive reinforcement, and how can you use this in your daily routine?


What is positive reinforcement?

With positive reinforcement you add a positive reward when a person is showing desired behavior. It is a proven method to help promote positive behavior in both children and adults.

For example: a person gets a small reward when a specific task or chore is completed on time.

The reward doesn't have to be big; just the fact that you reward positive behavior makes this a very powerful aid.

In this way, instead of punishing negative behavior, you reinforce positive behavior which has a much more stronger effect.

This does not only work for young children, older children and adults can also use this to motivate themselves.

So, how can you use positive reinforcement in the daily routine? RoutineFactory can help with this!
