Do you ever face criticism, judgment or downright disapproval of your parenting choices from family members or peers?
Do you ever feel the pressure to conform - or maybe even give in to punitive ways just to avoid an argument or the glaring eyes of others?
How would you react if your child came home with a behavior chart filled with red and yellow sad faces instead of happy green ones?
Or if your child's good-behavior barometer (a movable clothes pin) was constantly hovering in the yellow/red zone?
"You've got to try harder."
"Why can't you sit still?"
"You need to listen to the teacher."
Have you ever considered the messages behavior management techniques, such as the stoplight behavior chart, send?
