Properly used, positive reinforcement is extremely powerful.

The way positive reinforcement is carried out is more important than the amount.

You must reward the kind of behavior that you want.

Behaviors are a choice. Feelings are sometimes out of our control. Behavior has to do with choices.

Discipline is creating the situation.

Acting is constant exploration.

I found this deer toy that poops out candy. And so if I say, 'Cree, you have to go to bed right now. You will get a candy.' We've named the pooping deer 'Gus.'... He gets a jelly bean. And it works. Positive reinforcement is the way to go. I'm learning things like that which help me be a better parent.

Doing what's right isn't the problem. It is knowing what's right.

You have to think a little smarter, be proactive, not reactive.

Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.
