What we learned last time

So, what we learned last time is that you shouldn’t reward your kids’s negative behavior by punsihing them into using the console or tablet for a while.

Your kid will see this as a reward and will use it the next time they want to play on their piece of technology.

This doens’t mean however, that you shouldn’t reward them at all. Rewards are still the best incentive you can give a child and they work so much better then only negative stimulations.

The thing they favor most is probably a new peace of technology. So, you would be wise to use this as a gadget gift in the most prizeworthy of situations that your child may encounter.

In a very, very special situation. And I can’t stress very enough in this context because it will raise your childs’expectations of rewards for good behavior. In a very special situation you may reward them with a large and or expensive gift like this. Maybe for their good grades at the end of a year, maybe for their excellent behavior during a long long car trip on vacation (so they can use the tablet on their trip as well) or maybe for a swimming diploma or some such thing.

A special achievement deserves specials attention, and this sort of gift giving will do just that.

Wow, look at that vein on the side of his head. He must really be mad.

Very nice picture and captured moment of anger in a child

If your kids are throwing a fit, you shouldn’t reward them. Letting them play on the PS4 is something you should not do to get them to quiet down. If you do, you would be rewarding them for their behaviour and that is just not good parenting.

You can, however, use games like the PS4 but also tablets to keep them busy when you are doing something else. If you have to do something for yourself, or if you have to cook, just let them play for a while. Playing games is also educational and good for their hand eye coordination so depriving them from this experience is something you also shouldn’t do.

Just remember to limit the amount of time they may play, and make sure to communicate this in advance so they know hat they can expect. Telling them they can play for an hour is good, and you should remind them ten minutes in advance that the time is almost up.

Gaming is a good thing, but you shouls always make sure it isn’t abused and they also have plenty of other hobbies to keep them busy and playing ith others as well as outside.

When children are inconsolable and throwing a fit

Bob the Builder is still very popular for kids. And even the not authentic toys, they love.
