How Do I Reverse Bad Habits in Students
Behavioral Response OR Habit
There is still debate over how habits should be conceptualized and operationalized, but there is consensus among scholars that habits are acquired through incremental strengthening of the association between a situation (cue) and an action, “i.e. repetition of a behaviour in a consistent context progressively increases the automaticity with which the behaviour is…

Pom Pom Reward System: A Simple Way to Manage Behaviors at home!
Sometimes people ask how I manage my own children's behaviors. My kids are obviously not perfect and need help to understand how we expect them to behave. We also want them to learn that you don't just get special things every time you ask for it. You need to earn it.
Our plan actually started as a way to manage screen time. For the first few weeks after I had my son, my daughter watched a LOT of TV. We wanted to break the habit, so we went on a screen break for about a week, then we introduced TV tickets. She could earn a TV ticket by following our two basic rules - listen the first time and be kind. She could ask to use one but we approved when you could use them.
This worked really well, but I wanted to have more of a visual for her to see when she was behaving positively and a consequence for when she wasn't. By this time, my son was getting older and we needed to include him in it as well.
We started our cotton ball/pom pom buckets. Each child has their own bucket where their pom poms stay. You can earn Pom poms by following our three rules (following directions the first time, be kind, do your chores), or for doing other kind & helpful things. I might say to my daughter "thanks for being flexible and letting your brother pick the game, you earn 3 Pom poms".
5 Pom poms earns you 20-30 minutes of screen time, either a TV show or Leap Pad or kindle time. The adults decide when you can use screen time. The kids can ask but we can say no. A full bucket earns a special activity, like a solo outing with one parent or a family trip somewhere. My daughter has used a full bucket to go to Build-a-Bear, and we've also gone to the science museum as a reward.
If you misbehave, you lose pom poms. If you misbehave and all your pom poms are gone, then you start to lose toys. There are certain behaviors that earn a break on the rug (hitting, kicking, trying to hurt people on purpose) in addition to lost pom poms/toys.
I try to keep up with it and reward in the middle of the day and at the end. If we're seeing a lot of negative behaviors we increase the frequency of giving and taking away cotton balls.
Exception: when the kids are with a grandparent at our home but mom and dad aren't there, Grandma or Nana's rules apply. They don't need to cash in TV tickets for screen time. Nor do they earn or lose pom poms.
From time to time, we've modified the system to meet our needs. We used TV tickets during potty training and as rewards for staying in bed all night. This system currently works for us, but, obviously, as the kids get older, we'll need to figure out what will work then.
Do you use a reward system at home?

Blindsided by the Teacher
I was dropping off some cash for a fun family event in a few weeks at my daughter's daycare. Her teacher was sitting there and really really wanted to talk to me. Thank goodness she is taking my letter seriously. She is now following the steps that I said she had to take. She called my husband during nap time, she allowed my daughter to pee numerous times and removed her from the room. For over an hour she caused chaos in school. She kept crying she didn't want to nap and they told her she didn't have to, but she wouldn't settle.
The blindside was, "ok, please help us, we can't have her be like this tomorrow"
I have to say I had a difficult Sunday. I experienced something I hope to NEVER experience again. It took me away from my daughter and husband and some innocence was lost.
I have not been 100% me. I have been tired, reflective, anxious, and sad.
I was not expecting to have to on the spot come up with an effective behavior plan.
I am grateful I was consulted, I am just saying I needed more time to prepare. This will not be the last parent-teacher meeting. This is my daughter. Keeping me on and off my toes, challenging me and her teachers.
We made her a crown. She decorated it. I told her that after nap IF she's a good listener she can wear it. Any other suggestions for getting a toddler to peacefully separate and go to sleep?
Debate!
My teaching team and I had a debate today. Our principal wants us to create a reward system/behavior plan to reinforce positive behavior.
I don't really believe in rewards but I admit that our "best" (academically, behaviorally) students do not get recognized enough. Anyway, we have to do it. Fine.
My team disagreed though, over whether forgetting/not doing homework fell under negative behavior or academics. We do not want to punish students because they struggle with school so we are not holding academic achievement against students. I usually have a strong opinion about things like this but I was actually quite indecisive so I played devil's advocate in this situation. Yes, homework is academic, but responsibly dealing with homework is a type of behavior.
Ultimately we decided to leave homework out of the equation for now, but I'm curious about what others think about this situation. Let me know
