Definition of Praise

Praise is a form of positive reinforcement that combines attention with a positive verbal statement.

Definition of Positive Reinforcement

Positive reinforcement is when an event (usually a pleasant one) occurs immediately following a behavior and as a result, the behavior occurs more often in the future.

Strengthens (positively reinforces) behavior

When and How to Use Praise

Occasions for Using Praise: Use praise when the individual’s behavior matches the program’s expectations Use praise to reinforce any behavior you would like to see more often Use praise any time there is a small improvement in behavior Praising effectively includes the use of both Behavior Specific Praise and Non-Specific Praise, at a 4-1 ratio. In other words, staff should strive to praise an individual 4 times for every negative or corrective statement given. Using praise is like building a bank account. The more you deposit, the bigger the “account” (i.e. the better the relationship). When a “withdrawal” must be made (i.e. delivering a negative or corrective statement) the account will be able to withstand the withdrawal.

Behavior Specific Praise

Behavior Specific Praise is a positive statement intended to reinforce the desired behavior of an individual that acknowledges the individual by name (or in a manner in which he/she knows who is being praised), specifically describes/identifies the individual’s behavior, and incorporates a term of praise.

Examples:

"Jon, nice work - you cleaned up your area!"

"Way to go. You’re using your coping skills, Lynn."

"Great job waiting your turn." (while standing near and looking at the individual)

"Good matching." (while teaching/interacting with the individual 1:1)

Non-Specific Praise

Non-Specific Praise (a.k.a. Positive “Other”) is a positive statement intended to reinforce the desired behavior of an individual that does not include all of the elements and steps of Behavior Specific Praise.

Examples:

“Jon, your area is cleaned up – it looks nice.”

“Thanks for using your coping skills, Lynn.”

“Alex, good job not being disruptive.”

“Great job.” “Thanks.” “Awesome.” “That’s nice.” “Good work.”

Elements of Behavior Specific Praise

Includes the individual’s name or other acknowledgment so that the individual knows he/she is being praised

Describes the individual’s positive behavior

Is convincing

Is varied

Is not disruptive

Drawing Closer to God through Music

“We get nearer to the Lord through music than perhaps through any other thing except prayer.” —President J. Reuben Clark Jr. Music is a gift from our Heavenly Father and an important part of gospel worship. Scriptures point to the importance of music in a number of passages, including Psalm 100:2, which reads, “Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.” The Book of Mormon prophet Alma spoke to his people in Alma 5:26, asking, “And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?” As the world continues to drift further into darkness, we can be a shining light unto the world. Music can be one of the most powerful tools to combat opposition and negativity and prepare our minds to receive the Spirit. Here are eight benefits we can obtain as we draw closer to God through music:
