🐝 Buzz-Stop That Behavior! Are You Accidentally Rewarding the Wrong Things?

How to flip the script and encourage the right kind of hive behavior 🐝

We’ve all been there:
Your little bee throws a fit in the middle of Target 🛒 or suddenly “can’t” clean their room—but the second you offer a snack, screen time, or a sticker? Boom, instant behavior change. 🙃

But here’s the sting… sometimes we’re unintentionally reinforcing the very behaviors we don’t want. 😬

Let’s break down how to spot it, stop it, and switch it—without losing your cool or your coffee. ☕💛

🚫 The Accidental Reinforcer Trap

You might be rewarding bad behavior if you’ve ever:

• Turned on a show to stop a tantrum 😭➡️📺

• Given in after hearing “pleeeease” for the 47th time 🙄

• Let chores slide because you didn’t want another meltdown 🧹💥

• Handed over your phone in exchange for silence 📱🫣

We get it. You’re not trying to reward bad behavior—you’re trying to survive the moment. But your tiny human’s brain just learned:
“If I scream/whine/argue… I get my way.” 🙈

🐝 Buzz-Switch That Habit

Let’s turn those moments into teachable ones with a few Hive-Tested ideas:

✅ Catch the Good First

Praise the positive before problems pop up:
🗣️ “I love how you started your homework without being asked!”
👏 “Wow, you waited so patiently in line!”

⏸️ Pause the Payoff

Delay the reward until the behavior improves.
No one’s saying no screen time ever—just not after the meltdown.

🔄 Flip the Script

Instead of:

“If you stop yelling, I’ll give you candy.” 🍬
Try:
“When your voice is calm, I’ll know you’re ready to talk.”
