Positive reinforcement?

Positive Reinforcement.

How can you use positive reinforcement on a child who is received many warnings about being mindful about their body and surroundings but still constantly get hurt. It has been going for 3 weeks.

I got so frustrated that I let the child know that I am scared to take them on summer field trips. If there is a 4th week I will put my foot down and ask one of their parents to go with. But ik for a fact they won't bother to come. They NEVER have.

ANYWAYS

No shock today and with my luck they went home and had a limp but didn't tell staff. And I get a message from mom along with my much now regretted statement of " I'm scared to take them on field trips." (Let mom know it was regrettably mentioned)

I've already noted and know that they get overly excited before the transition to outside or new activites. I ask them to walk to the "calm couch" and to show me what relaxed and clam means. (If they are not running they are stomping and angry/screams because I am asking them to relax & calm down and even then the success rate is maybe 65%) But this morning and my luck, they run to the couch and adds in a head into the wall.

How do you turn running into the wall a positive reinforcement situation even after many warnings and told what behavior is to be expected? (*** please walk to the calm couch and relax) I've done my part to see what triggers cause these actions but its following through directions and listening isn't going though.

Maybe I say and do "I see that you ran into the wall, that's why the direction was to walk. Here is a hug,ice pack and an hour me panic observing to make sure you don't have a concussion"

Where do I add the "rewarding or reinforcing desirable behavior in order to increase the likelihood that the behavior will be repeated in the future"?(google)

SO

In my response, I told her "How does after a couple of reminders to *** about being mindful of how our surroundings can affect our body or the choices that we make can affect our body. We can have *** sit next to a teacher for a calm break until *** is ready to try again." But it's still the same strategy I have used just different places and clearly it's not positive enough. Obviously reminders only can go so far.

As for "how is his body awareness" he walks around and says genitalia terms like its nothing. (Not often and is corrected and told when is and where is the appropriate time to say those terms) He's well aware of what IS where and whats IS there. IM SURE he is aware of his body.
