Cheers!

I think it's important that we say "Good job" to children in many different ways. It can grow old to hear the same thing many times over! For example, when someone asks "How are you?" and you respond "I'm fine." You're probably so used to hearing that question it gets the generic response. Lame, right? Try responding with how you REALLY feel and you might get a whole different response. Next time you see positive behavior, reward it with a new cheer. Do it together. Invoke a whole new response and sense of pride for a job well done!

The following cards are printable and portable. You might find other ways to use them as well, for example, when you are waiting with your child for something unpleasant like a dentist appointment.
