In my experience, giving choices is a very useful positive response tool. Children love to feel independent, so being able to choose for themselves makes them feel good. Also, telling them what TO do instead of what NOT to do is very helpful because the children don't feel shamed and don't become upset, but they still are directed to a better choice they could be making. Also, redirecting a child's attention to a better choice than the one they are making is a very useful tool because the children don't ever feel like they are in trouble, and they do not receive attention of any kind for the negative behavior, but they will still move off to making the better choice.
