What are some positive behavior management techniques?

Touch Me Please!

Body contact and touch is a wonderful behavior management tool. Touching conveys positive messages to the child instead of negative. Moving closer to a child or having the child close to you at certain "problem" times is easier than having to stop what you are doing to get the child's behavior in control. Sometimes, simply using a hand to reach out and touch a child when interrupting or misbehaving is enough to bring their behavior back in line. To find out more ways you can effectively intervene with problem behavior using a positive approach, you may want to read Positive Pointers for Preventing Problem Behavior in Children.
