Terrible twos or threenagers- we have all sailed through our kids’ tantrums, haven’t we? Kids have their own whims and fancies and they keep changing everyday. One meal that is deemed tasty today is unacceptable tomorrow and as parents, we put up with their endless tantrums. The underlying concept is that kids can never be forced to do anything. With them, it is always- “my way, or the highway!”
Positive reinforcement is now trending everywhere. It is a behaviour modification technique to encourage good behaviour in children. Acknowledging or reinforcing a good behaviour always creates a positive impression in the child’s mind and he/she is likely to repeat the good act.
My child too understands this and behaves accordingly. Since I have started supporting most of her reasonable wishes and demands and maintaining a firm NO on the unreasonable ones, even she has decided to pick her battles! She makes her demands and waits for my response- if she sees a denial, she tries to push for it, but not much. And that’s when I realize I have won as a mother! Slowly, my child started realizing her tantrums lead nowhere and she is all busy impressing me with her ‘goody-goody’ behaviour of late!
She comes home with her school tiffin box complete and a ‘star’ on her homework note as well! And at night, when I bend down to clean up the toys, feeling exhausted, she silently walks behind me and helps me clean up the mess! And since good begets good, I allow my child to do things that bring happiness to both of us! We cuddled together for some ‘we’ time with Chota Bheem and Chutki on Voot!’Coz what’s better than cartoons to engage with kids?! And with Voot Kids app, as a parent, you can actually regulate what your child watches and how much they should too!
This dynamic parent-child relationship is beautifully conveyed by Voot in their latest commercial – Goody Goody. The kids decide that they would be disciplined and well-behaved not for the sake of others, but for their own Dora, Pokemon, Chota Bheem and the likes. And the reward? They are gifted with super fun time with their favourite cartoons- all for free on the Voot App. As a parent have you downloaded this app that is being viewed by millions of kids across the world? Do it today!
Watch the video here and show your kids the incentive they can earn for being all ‘goody goody’!
