Reaction to bad behavior?
DD is 4.5. She's been having some typical struggles with behavior at school. Each day all the kids on the class are on green yellow or red for their behavior. She's on green most of the time, yellow occasionally and red a handful of times.
We've been rewarding her for green with a bike ride after school and we high five and make a really big deal about it, call her "Green Girl", we are kinds neutral for yellow, we say we're disappointed and talk about it, and red is no TV and we talk a lot about how disappointed we are a lot and don't really play with DD. this seems to be working BUT my question is on the red days should we be focusing on encouraging her to do better the next day or talking about being disappointed more.
