Catch the child not misbehaving and name the success explicitly.
The Nurtured Heart Approach (Howard Glasser) - Name it to tame it: tell the story of the big feeling

The Whole-Brain Child (Siegel & Bryson) - Follow the child’s lead completely during special time

Special Time (Lawrence Cohen — Playful Parenting) - Use physical movement to shift the nervous system state
