In this two-part video series, we’ll explore Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), a set of strategies designed to help children improve their behavior at school, at home, and in the community. PBIS has a powerful impact—children who experience positive and consistent environments tend to achieve better grades, exhibit stronger behavior, build higher self-esteem, attend school more regularly, and develop greater motivation for long-term success. While schools often use PBIS, parents can apply these principles at home too. In this series, we’ll guide you through practical, positive techniques to teach your child essential behavioral skills that will benefit them not only at home and in the community but also throughout their entire life.
