Answer: positive reinforcement

Explanation:

Positive reinforcement when someone has done something good in order to encourage them further a particular positive stimulus is given to that person.

This introduced stimulus increases that behaviour in such that the person will be more likely to continue doing it all over again.

Most parents use this strategy to reinforce positive behaviour in their children as this intensifies the great behaviour that has already been started.
