Besides using positive phrases when children exhibit desired behavior I have paper stars on a bulletin board that say a positive thing that a child has done above and beyond for a classmate, teacher, or classroom. The children get to take another star home with the good behavior on it as well.

Verbally praise children who are helping to clean up after work or meal times. Use stickers or badges for good deeds and behaviors.

We use a sticker chart for a few of our children who have a really hard time making good choices. When they get picked up, if they've made good choices throughout the day, they earn a sticker and after they earn 5 they get to pick out of a prize box. It's a great motivator and reminder for the kids to work towards throughout the day.

I work with toddlers who like to climb on the tables. Instead of yelling I can acknowledge the one's who are showing good behavior and ask them in a gentle tone to get done. Once the show that they can listen giving a smile or a high five would reinforce the behavior.

The most common positive reinforcement is to smile and say thank-you then acknowledge the behavior. For example "Thank you Johnny for raising your hand, I can tell you have something important to tell me!" or "Thank you Johnny, you put all the blocks back in the box! What a great job taking care of our toys!"

I really enjoy the idea of using tokens for positive reinforcement in the classroom. My daughter gets a token after she lets the dentist looks at her teeth. The token is then used to go get a prize, some sort of small toy out of a coin machine. I have seen this idea of positive reinforcement before in a classroom and the children love it.

Our preschool classroom uses a sticker chart. We use positive words of affirmation with all the children as well ("I really liked how you shared with your friend," "wow, you used the potty by yourself!" etc)

Smile or give high fives when a kid is cooperative in clean up time. When they show a picture comment on a thing they did in the picture and ask if they like it. When they respond that they do be excited with them.

Smiling and nodding to kids as they come to circle time gives them positive reinforcement that they are noticed and an important part of our community. Commenting positively on what they are working on shows the teacher cares about their work.

Positive Reinforcement within the classroom usually comes in the form of high fives, fist bumps, and hugs. When a child successfully cleans up after themselves following a meal and prepares to wash hands, I would let them know how great they are doing and give them a high five or fist bump with some soap.

I often use positive reinforcement to gain the attention of the other students. For example, if the class is a bit too chatty, I compliment the one student who is following directions and the rest of the class wants that praise too, so they quiet down. Then I can thank them for making a good choice.

Transitions are the times when a lot of undesired behavior occurs. Instead of focusing on the child who is creating a bigger mess during a cleanup, we could instead praise the ones that are helping put things away and offer an incentive for finishing the task. The incentives could be different e.g. being a special helper, getting to chose a book for morning circle time etc.

I use a lot of praise & attentions for reinforcement in the infant room. For example, if a baby sits down self, I will say "Yeah! You sit down by yourself!!!" and I will clap my hands & give a big smile to the baby.

I love giving kids praise and also telling their parents of what good they did. I think its very important to also tell the parents of what the kids did and maybe the parent will also treat the kids. If they go above and beyond I will treat them to a prize from a prize box.
