When a child does something good that action must be praised. Praising is a way of encouraging good behaviours to repeat. This helps to reinforce good behaviour in the child. This is the starting point of behavior modification. Children with special needs require behaviour modification to correct their behavioural problems such as poor eye contact, bad hand writing, poor attention, undesired behaviors, etc. However, behaviour modification is not specific to children with special needs, it can be used on anybody to get a desired behaviour.
Some parents unfortunately do not know what to say when his or her child does something good. I've included below some words, hoping these will be of help to those parents.
Wow * Way To Go * Super * You're Special * Outstanding * Excellent * Great * Good * Neat * Well Done * Remarkable * I Knew You Could Do It * I'm Proud Of You * Fantastic * Super Star * Nice Work * Looking Good * You're On Top Of It * Beautiful * Now You're Flying * You're Catching On * Now You've Got It * You're Incredible * Bravo * You're Fantastic * Hurray For You * You're On Target * You're On Your Way * How Nice * How Smart * Good Job * That's Incredible * Hot Dog * Dynamic * You're Beautiful * You're Unique * Nothing Can Stop You Now * Good For You * I like You * You're A Winner * Remarkable Job * Beautiful Work * Spectacular * You're Spectacular * You're A Darling * You're Precious * Great Discovery * You've Discovered The Secret * You Figured It Out * Fantastic Job * Hip, Hip, Hurray * Bingo * Magnificent * Marvelous * Terrific * You're Important * Phenomenal * You're Sensational * Super Work * Creative Job * Super Job * Fantastic Job * Exceptional Performance * You're A Real Trooper * You Are Responsible * You Are Exciting * You Learned It Right * What An Imagination * What A Good Listener * You Are Fun * You're Growing Up * You Tried Hard * You Care * Beautiful Sharing * Outstanding Performance * You're A Good Friend * I Trust You * You're Important * You Mean Alot To Me * You Make Me Happy * You Belong * You've Got A Friend * You Make Me Laugh * You Brighten My Day * I Respect You * You Mean The World To Me * That's Correct * You're A Joy * You're A Treasure * You're Wonderful * You're Perfect * Awesome * A Plus Job * You're The Best * A Big Hug * A Big Kiss * I Love You!
Bear in your mind that when you use these words with children with special needs you must use them jointly with non-verbal cues. That is, make yourself sound excited and exaggerate the action with a tickle, kiss, pat or something. Then only the desired outcome can be achieved.
