Episode Details

Are you spending more time correcting challenging behaviors than noticing the kids who are following directions? It's easy to get caught up in putting out little behavior fires all day long, especially when the same handful of kindergarteners seem to need constant reminders. But what happens when the students making good choices barely get any attention?

In this episode of The Kindergarten Toolbox Podcast, we're talking about how positive behavior reinforcement can make a difference in your kindergarten classroom management. I'll share why we sometimes unintentionally give more attention to the behaviors we're trying to stop, how to use specific positive praise to reinforce classroom expectations, and why it's especially important to notice the little wins from students who struggle with behavior.

The best part? You don't need another behavior chart, reward system, or complicated classroom management strategy. I'm sharing one simple thing you can try tomorrow to shift your attention toward the positive choices happening in your classroom, without adding more to your already overflowing plate.
