Intermittent Reinforcement: The One Mistake Every Parent Makes (Including Me)


Listen Later

Some of the most frustrating interactions that we have with our kids all share the same feature: us, the parents.

How we talk to, interact with, and respond to our children has such a major impact on how they behave and respond to us.

Yet so many of the issues that parents struggle with--whether it's sleep training, picky eating, or just day-to-day frustrations--can be radically improved if we are able to make one single change in our own behavior, if we can stop making the one mistake that every parent makes (including me).

That's why this short, 15-minute episode dives into the topic of Intermittent Reinforcement--what it is, why it makes life harder for parents, and what we can do to change.

I believe that this is an episode that can inspire positive change for you and your family! Please SHARE this episode by sharing this article with your friends, family, parent groups & parent message boards. Sign up for my free kids' health newsletter & follow me on FacebookTwitter, and Instagram.
