Tell them they are doing great with a Thumbs up!
No matter how old your child is, positive recognition and reinforcement builds self
esteem and confidence. Knowing that you have noticed and acknowledge
their positive behaviour choice through a thumbs up has an even
greater effect!
Thumsters was designed to make it easy for parents to encourage their kids
for a behavior that's in line with your family values. Kids will love the
colorful screens and motivating sounds of Thumsters as they get a thumbs
up! And the goal achieved screen is the ultimate pinnacle of positive reinforcement.
Discourage the behavior you don't want - WITHOUT yelling.
Experts agree that recognising negative behavior is important, for adults and kids, if done in a respectful way. We all know that sometimes it's hard to keep our emotions and decision making under control, even as adults. Your kids are still in training, self regulating and self control is a valuable skill to learn from early on. So rather than yelling, threatening, isolating (time out) or fighting, a simple thumbs down is a respectful yet effective way to let your kids know that the behavior they have displayed is not in line with your family values and boundaries, invites discussion around why, and how to respond differently next time. It opens the door to healthy communication and connection around recognising and addressing negative behavior.

Set goals and watch them flourish.
In life we all know that setting goals can help keep us focussed and
on target, and it's no different for your kids.
Thumsters allows you to set goals for your children to work towards. Every
thumbs up helps them get a little closer to achieving them, and motivates
them to be consistent with their attitudes and behavior, creating healthy
habit loops. What begins as an EXTRINSICALLY motivated behavior (doing
something to get something), develops into an intrinsically motivated habit!
Learning healthy habit building is a skill that will grow with them throughout
their lives.
