CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -As noted above, positive reinforcement refers to introducing a desirable stimulus (i.e., a reward) to encourage the behavior that is desired. An example of this is giving a child a treat when he or she is polite to a stranger.

Detailed explanation-2: -Positive reinforcement strengthens behavior through a reward. Giving a child a screen (natural reward) in response to the child’s crying reinforces the use of crying when the child wants screen time and increases the value of the screen to the child.

Detailed explanation-3: -Have your kids ever cleaned their room, just to avoid your nagging? This is a perfect example of negative reinforcement. Negative reinforcement occurs when something unpleasant or uncomfortable is removed or taken away in order to increase the likelihood of the desired behavior.
