Children live up to what is expected of them. If a child is expected to misbehave, the child probably will. Think about a misbehaving child. Now, imagine the child as you would like them to be (Be realistic!). What behaviors are annoying and what ones can you live with. Envision the child as there already. What does s/he look like?

When the negative behavior occurs, look at it as a minor setback and a learning experience on the way to helping the child be the person s/he is capable of being. Say things like, “Andrew, I'm choosing you as line leader because I know you are capable of walking slow and straight. Can you show the others how you do that?”(i.e., Andrew being the one who DOESN'T walk appropriately.)Online course on behavior management Behavior Management: Winning the Battle!
