Detailed explanation-1: -Parents can use operant conditioning with their children by: offering praise when they do something positive. giving them a piece of candy when they clean their room. letting them play video games after they complete their homework.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, whenever you come home wearing a baseball cap, you take your child to the park to play. So, whenever your child sees you come home with a baseball cap, he is excited because he has associated your baseball cap with a trip to the park. This learning by association is classical conditioning.
