Theoretical and Empirical Basis for the Positive Reflection Bedtime Ritual: A Conceptual Framework for Behavioral and Emotional Development in Children
T. Jegadeesan, R. Renuchitra
Abstract: This conceptual paper introduces and explores the Positive Reflection Bedtime Ritual (PRBR), a structured, family - based therapeutic approach designed to reinforce positive behavior and emotional regulation in children with behavioral challenges, including those with Attention - Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Grounded in operant conditioning, attachment theory, social learning, and positive psychology, the PRBR aims to strengthen family relationships and promote positive self - concept through a nightly routine of affirmations. This paper outlines the theoretical rationale, implementation framework, and a proposed measurement tool the Positive Reflection Behavioral - Emotional Change Scale (PRBECS) to guide future empirical validation and clinical application.
