Request your free set of Praise-lets!

Children want and need the attention of their parents, and they will do anything to get it. Praise is the positive attention and approval children crave from parents. Unfortunately, we often tend to give children negative attention only when they are doing something we do not like and miss opportunities to give them positive attention (praise) when they do the things we want them to do.


The praise-lets are a great way to help remind us to find, and praise, those positive behaviors.

Please allow 4 - 6 weeks for arrival.

Using the "4-to-1 Rule" in Your Home

Research shows that if we change the focus and praise kids 4 times for every time we correct them, their behaviors and your relationship will get better!


Praise positive actions 4 times for every misbehavior you correct. Our exclusive praise-lets consist of one blue (correction) bracelet and four yellow (praise) bracelets. Each time you correct a behavior or catch them doing something that you have to correct, move the blue bracelet over to your other wrist. The four remaining yellow bracelets are your reminders to catch them being good four times within the next hour or so.

Help Us Raise the Praise

Remember, if you are constantly focusing only on what the child is doing wrong, the negative environment can leave both parents and kids frustrated. By catching them being good and giving praise you can actually strengthen the relationship between you and your child! 

Your support today can help us get more resources like these into the hands of educators, parents, and kids all across America.
