The most positive ‘new’ parenting skill to have emerged over the past twenty years is the encouragement and reward of good behaviour and paying less attention to poor. Children, as I have already said, love attention and the praise and positive attention they receive from behaving well will spur them on to behave in that way again. Promising a reward for good behaviour is likely to produce more satisfactory results than threatening to punish bad behaviour. We now know that children who receive little attention from their parents will behave badly just to receive attention, even if that attention is a reprimand. Paying little or no attention to attention-seeking behaviour is likely to stop it.
