Welcome participants. Introduce yourself and today’s topic. Explain that we’ll explore practical, research-backed strategies for reinforcing good behaviors at home. Remind participants to grab a copy of the Positive Behavior Reinforcement Handout and Home Practice Tracker Template.

Walk through the agenda briefly. Invite questions about the flow and encourage participants to engage, ask questions, and share examples throughout.

Present key research findings. Emphasize how reinforcing positive behaviors leads to stronger relationships, increased self-esteem, and reduced misbehavior. Use slides to show simple graphs or stats if available.

Define positive reinforcement clearly and contrast briefly with other responses (e.g., punishment, ignoring). Use a quick poll: “What comes to mind when you think of reinforcement?”

Introduce the four strategies at a high level. Explain that we will dive into pairs of strategies next. Encourage participants to think of their own examples.

Discuss Specific Praise and Behavioral Narration first. Provide examples. Then introduce Tangible Rewards: when to use and how to avoid over-reliance. Ask participants to share quick examples.

Cover Token Economy Systems: explain charts, points, and exchange for rewards. Then Structured Attention & Playtime: scheduling special one-on-one time. Invite participants to brainstorm one way they might use each at home.

Explain the Scenario Practice activity. Distribute the [Behavior Scenario Cards](#behavior-scenario-cards). Form small groups and assign roles: parent, child, observer. Rotate roles each scenario.

Distribute the [Home Practice Tracker Template](#home-practice-tracker-template). Guide participants to choose 1–2 strategies, set clear behavior targets, and plan tracking. Encourage pairing up for accountability.

Recap the four strategies and highlight the importance of consistency, specificity, and positive attention. Encourage parents to start small and build momentum.

Thank participants for their engagement. Remind them to complete the [Workshop Feedback Form](#workshop-feedback-form). Share your contact email/phone for follow-up questions and resources.
