Tess Connolly LCSW talks about the concept of “catch them being good” Tess asks you if you have ever felt that you are stuck in a rut of focusing on a behavior that you feel your child needs to change. Have you got a negativity bias? Listen in to see how you can reset this and focus on the good behavior and how this will help change your families mindset.

• Tess talks about how we can shift this and “catch them being good.”
• Tess tells us about how focusing on the positives can bring about a shift in our children's behavior.
• Tess shares with us about how easy it is to get into a pattern as a parent of getting into this negative rut and how all parents fall into this. What's important is being aware of when this happens so you can shift it back into a positive way of being with your child.  
• Tess gives some examples of specific praise.
• She talks about the importance of finding words that work for you and your family and gives you some examples of what you could use.
