Celebrating birthdays and holidays
Make celebrating birthdays and holidays together a family tradition. You don’t have to do the same thing every birthday or holiday. For instance, you could go to a family member’s favorite restaurant or do their favorite activity on their birthday. You’d be sticking to a tradition, but the activities would be varied.[2]
Have meals together
Have meals together as often as possible. Parents work and kids have after school activities, so it’s tough to have breakfast and dinner together every day. However, do your best to eat together as often as possible. Family meals are a key routine and can help you stay involved in each other’s lives.[3]
- When someone gets home from work or practice late, sit down with them while they have dinner, even if you’ve already eaten. Spending time together and having a conversation is more important than eating at the same time.

Continuous Versus Intermittent Reinforcement
Studies on reinforcement revealed that the best way for us to learn complex behaviors is via continuous reinforcement, in which the desired behavior is rewarded every time it’s performed. Consistency and timing are the keys.
Nonetheless, some argue that intermittent reinforcement is the most efficient way to maintain an already learnt behavior. It consists of giving reinforcement only some of the times that the desired behavior occurs.
The Benefits Of Intermittent Reinforcement
- Rewarding the behavior immediately may take time away from the behavior’s continuation.
- It’s cheaper not to reward every instance of a desired behavior.
- By making the rewards unpredictable, you trigger excitement and thus get an increase in response without increasing the amount of reinforcement.
- Since the person is already adapted to not always being rewarded, they take longer to stopping the behavior when reinforcement is removed.

How to Win an Argument, According to Science
Ask for their point of view
To gain trust and build rapport, you need to hear out what the other person thinks without interrupting or disagreeing.
Try asking open-ended questions, like: "Why do you think that...
Mirror your opponent
If you mimic your opponent (in a subtle way), they are more likely to believe you.
For example, if they are sitting cross-legged, wait a few seconds and cross your legs too. And make sure that what you are doing is not too obvious.
Make direct eye contact
...while you listen. This makes the speaker's arguments less persuasive, which makes your opinion look strong.
Fix the speaker in your sight as soon as they start speaking.
