PBIS at Home:
Try More “I Noticed…”
When we want kids to repeat positive behaviors, it helps to notice them when they happen.
Instead of:
“Stop leaving your shoes there.”
Try:
“I noticed you put your shoes away without being asked.”
Instead of:
“Why are you still not ready?”
Try:
“I noticed you got your backpack packed before I asked.”
It doesn't mean we never correct behavior. It means the behavior we notice gets more likely to show up again. Tiny deposits in the positive-behavior bank.
When you catch your child doing something ROAR-worthy at home, name it! “That was really responsible.” “You noticed someone needed help. That was respectful.” Specific praise helps kids know exactly what they’re doing right.
