Week 3: Ignoring and keeping calm, and clear instructions

In the first half of the course we focussed on relationship development with:

• one-to-one time;
• child-led play and conversation;
• emotional resilience;
• specific praise.

Now we are moving on to managing behaviour…

This week we’ll be looking at how to give instructions in a way that is specific and clear to our child. First we’ll be looking at how to ignore some negative behaviours (and how to stay calm whilst doing so); so that we can focus on those behaviours which cannot be ignored and which must improve.
