Being a parent is hard, especially when your small child doesn’t behave in the way that our adult brain expects them to behave. Because they are a child, not an adult. This post discusses one of my favorite ways to reinforce good behavior rather than discipline bad behavior. The Pom Pom Jar is a reward system that reinforces your child’s good behavior and has quickly become a household favorite!
I have a young child, and like most parents, at times I’ve struggled with their bad behavior. I’ve tried a lot of different approaches, but nothing seemed to work consistently. That is until I discovered the Pom Pom Jar. This simple tool has transformed our family life. If you’re struggling with your child’s behavior issues and haven’t found something that works for you and your child, I urge you to give the Pom Pom Jar a try. It’s a simple way to reinforce your child’s good behavior, and it’s easy to track.
