Today’s topic is attention. Are we giving our kids too much? More specifically, are we giving them the wrong kind of attention?
Let’s first go over the 3 types of attention in psychology. The first one is Positive Attention. Positive attention is like affection, praise. We typically do this when our kids do something really well. The second type of attention is Negative Attention. We do this when they misbehave. This can be yelling, lectures, threats. The last one is No attention. This is when we ignore them.

still a reward the problem is is that
01:12
children want to tension all the time
01:15
and if they’re not getting positive
01:17
attention guess what they’ll misbehave
01:20

reward they’re getting attention as
