I'm currently undergoing some training to be a qualified facilitator of the Signposts programme, which is a programme that originated from Victoria, Australia, designed to provide support to parents to build better behaviours in their children. From the little I know about the programme, Signposts focuses on behavioural interventions to increase positive behaviours and decrease negative ones, preferring positive reinforcement methods such as using rewards and praise. At the same time consequences are utilised as negative reinforcement to reduce incidences of negative behaviour. Being strengths oriented, parents are encouraged to identify strengths in their children, and work more towards increasing positive behaviours in their children as opposed to relying too much on negative reinforcements to reduce certain behaviours.
