In the Incredible Years programs, parents and teachers learn the importance of positive attention, coaching, encouragement and praise for child pro-social behaviors. Just as adults establish and teach children rules and expectations for behavior, they also need a plan to respond to misbehavior that is developmentally appropriate, clear, gradual, logical and consistent in its implementation. The Incredible Years Discipline Hierarchy posters can be used by group leaders to help parents and teachers establish consistent rules and routines, and plan for how they will respond to child behaviors, using the lowest and least intrusive approach first.
