Encourage responsible behavior three ways

Families want children to learn to make responsible choices about school and life. But constant direction and criticism can wear kids down. To encourage positive behavior, say “thank you” when your child behaves responsibly without being told. Praise efforts, not just outcomes. And encourage involvement in hobbies that keep your child busy. Busy kids need less external control than those with too much time on their hands.
