Adjusting Behavior is Good

One of the reasons why parents should have Elf on a Shelf report good behavior is that it encourages your kids to try harder. Using this holiday tradition to explain that everyone makes mistakes, you can teach your kids that their positive behavioral adjustments aren’t going unnoticed.

 Encourages Kindness

Using Elf on a Shelf to report good behavior can encourage kindness. This concept will help your kids feel confident in trying to be better and do good things. Your kids will thrive on the positive response from their Elf on a Shelf who now recognizes their good deed efforts vs their bad behaviors.

Encourages Volunteering

You can use Elf on a Shelf to report to Santa all of the good deeds your kids are doing. Tasks like giving their older toys and clothing to someone in need this holiday season will be a good deed that Elf on a Shelf can report to Santa and will help encourage your kids to volunteer more.

Overall, we feel Elf on a Shelf can be used once a year to help encourage well-rounded, positive kids who want to give back to the world around them. Elf on a Shelf can be a tool that’s used to teach your kids that making better choices after each mistake doesn’t go unrewarded.

When you opt to have Elf on a Shelf report good behavior and kind gestures, you’re encouraging your kids to see that everyone makes mistakes. Your kids will quickly learn that it’s important to try their best to correct mistakes, and that they too can be a good human simply by being aware of how they can adjust their behavior towards good.
