The Process of Change – Part 1

It is now the middle of January. This means that it is a good time to think about your New Year’s resolutions, if you made some for this year. Please note that I said “think about”, not “beat yourself up about”. If those well intentioned resolutions have fallen by the wayside, it is likely that there is something wrong with the resolution, not with you. The point of New Year’s resolutions is to inspire individuals to create positive change within their lives. Some resolutions have to do with career and business objectives, some with finances, health, family, and other areas … Continue reading →

Positive Encouragement Can Help Kids With ADHD

Posted on by

Parents of children who have ADHD understand that there are no simple, quick, answers about how to help their child. Treatment for ADHD can include medication and behavior modification, and those things take time before they can become effective. What about trying some positive feedback?

Positive Reinforcement and the Power of Distraction

I try very hard to be a positive reinforcement trainer with my dogs, and not a negative reinforcement. Some days it works better than others. When we’re out walking, I’ve got a constant stream of chatter going — encouragement and praise, mostly, though sometimes, I also just talk to them about what they’re doing. If the dogs are doing something right, I tell them. It’s when the dogs are doing something wrong that I sometimes run into trouble. Lally is generally easy to correct. A light tug on the leash or saying her name is enough to get her attention … Continue reading →
