Course overview
Lesson Overview

3.7 – Redirection as a Positive Parenting Tool: Redirection guides children away from negative behavior by offering them better options. Instead of saying “no” constantly, parents can point to what can be done instead. This keeps the tone positive and cooperative. Redirection helps young minds develop problem-solving skills by focusing on choices rather than restrictions. It prevents power struggles by shifting energy toward solutions. For example, if a child throws toys, the parent might say, “Let’s roll the ball instead.” This changes the behavior without shame. Redirection is especially powerful for toddlers and preschoolers who are learning impulse control. It keeps communication open while maintaining authority. When practiced consistently, it becomes a daily language of encouragement. It teaches that mistakes are opportunities to learn, not reasons for punishment.
