Positive reinforcement and encouragement are essential components of effective discipline, especially for a child who has had multiple hospitalizations and may be struggling with their behavior due to underlying health issues. Punishment and strict limits may not address the root cause of the behavior and may only exacerbate the situation. Offering positive reinforcement for desired behaviors encourages the child to continue those behaviors and builds a more cooperative relationship between the child and parent/teacher.
