Catch Them Being Good is the most important method you can use in disciplining children. It effectively points children in the direction that you want them to go: toward responsible, good thinking, loving and confident behavior. You will not only have better children, but your children will have better parents!

Catch Them Being Good has a feel-good quality to it, which is wonderfully beneficial. It promotes good physical health and great mental health. It creates a positive feeling tone between parent and child. The whole family becomes happier.

However, Catch Them Being Good is far more significant than that! Everything that you know how to do well, you know how to do because someone, maybe several people, Caught You Being Good! Maybe it was a smile, a gold star and a pat on the back or an “A” on your paper. Catch Them Being Good is the essence of how we learn to be confident in what we know and do. It raises self-esteem like nothing else. It is also the way that we develop a foundation that our rational mind draws from to solve problems. Smart people continuously do a reality check with others, “Did I get this right?” “This is what I think I’m going to do; do you think that it is a good idea?”

Catch Them Being Bad has the opposite effect. It creates a negative feeling tone, discouragement and low self-esteem. It points children in the direction that you don’t want them to go. It causes children to be less responsible, leads to poor thinking, unloving behavior and insecurity. Who wants THAT for their children?

Catch Them Being Good is the way to go. It can change power struggles to cooperation unbelievably fast!
