• Positive Reinforcement Ideas

     

                When working toward a goal or rewarding positive behaviors, it can be difficult to come up with ideas that don’t always involve a monetary purchase.  Here are some ideas you can use to reinforce good choices.    The frequency of the rewards can be daily, weekly, or monthly, depending on the reinforcement or the behavior.  If you have some other good ideas, please let us know!     created by the Devon  Kindergarten Teacher
