Tip of the Week

Should parents use punishment? Thatīs a personal choice, however, it is important to recognize that punishment is applied only if the behavior in question stops or occurs less frequently. All too often we apply what we believe is punishment and the given behavior doesnīt change or even increases in frequency.
