In this episode or Lunchtime Chats with BTO, Kierra covers three of the most important behavior management tools you can have in your toolbox: validation, positive reinforcement, and verbal praise! She breaks each of these down for you, providing their definitions, how to use them, how they are helpful in curbing non-desired behaviors and encouraging desired behaviors, how they help build connections and confidence, and examples of what each of these can look like. Kierra continues to provide framework for understanding behavior management as a tool for connection and talks about how each of these tools can lead to deeper relationships to youth!
