How to use "Pointing out" in context?
Pointing out is a very effective way of correcting your child's behaviors. It can be used when they are acting out or not listening.
To start, let your child know that you will be pointing out certain behaviors. This can be done in a positive way by praising them when they do the behavior you want them to continue, or using a "you're doing great" tone of voice.
Then, when the child does the behavior that needs to be corrected, be sure to point out the specific part of their behavior that needs to change. This can be done in a calm, clear voice, and should only take a few seconds.
