THE QUARTERWAY e-COUGAR

• SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
• PBIS stands for ?Positive Behaviour Interventions
  and Supports. Quarterway children have heard lots
  about PBIS. PBIS is effective because children
  are explicitly taught expectations in terms of
  behaviour at school and the expectations are
  reinforced consistently. The Quarterway PBIS
  matrix is posted on our website. Heres what PBIS
  might look like in your home
• 1) Keep Your Expectations Realistic
• It is important for you to know and understand
  your childs abilities and limitations. When you
  expect too much or too little from your child it
  can lead to problems and frustrations for you
  both.
• 2) Plan Ahead
• Try to anticipate what your child may do or need
  in various situations. Make sure that you plan
  ahead to set your child up for a successful
  experience. ?Hope for the best, but plan for the
  worst. Always have a back-up plan!

• 3) Clearly State Your Expectations in Advance
• Some undesirable behavior occurs because your
  child cant act differently, other times it
  occurs because your child simply doesnt want to
  act differently. Either way it helps for you to
  remember that your child cannot read your mind.
  Be sure to give your child one clear instruction
  so that he knows what it is that you want him to
  do.
• 4) Offer Limited, Reasonable Choices
• Most children are not born with the built-in
  ability to make decisions and then accept the
  consequences. In order for your child to learn to
  take personal responsibility they will need
  plenty of support and practice.
• 5) Use ?WhenThen Statements
• A ?whenthen statement is a simple instruction
• that tells your child what he or she must do in
  order
• to earn a desired consequence. This is also known
  as contingency statement. Positive Solutions
  for Families
