Behaviour tracking isn't about controlling yourself.
It's about understanding yourself enough to keep growing with intention.

When you respond to your child, pause and ask yourself "Is my reaction serving my values or just my momentary relief?"

Parenting with awareness means choosing actions that align with your values even when it's difficult.

Every action is part of a pattern, the ABCs help you find it.

A - Antecedent: what happened before?
B - Behaviour: what exactly did they do?
C - Consequence: what happened after?

The C reveals the why or function.
What did they gain or avoid?

When you know the why, you can guide how to change.
You can teach new ways to get needs met, without punishment or power struggles.

It fails because...

➡️ the actions feel punishing (hard, awkward, or uncomfortable)

➡️ competing reinforcers are easier (Netflix, scrolling, snacks)

➡️ the reward is too delayed to feel real (mobility in older age)

Solution:
➡️ shrink the action

➡️ notice the intrinsic or natural reinforcement

➡️ make engaging in action, the path of least resistance

Translate them into observable behaviours you can track.
Value connection? ➡️ go phone free at dinner
Value growth? ➡️ try reading 10 minutes a day
Value health? ➡️ stretch before bedtime
A value is only demonstrated when your calender can see it.
