Correcting

Hi there! I am new to the support group and your material. Thank you for what you are doing in helping to support parents in creating strong homes and families. My question may be one that you've answered before. I have been a parent for 14 years and have a 14 year old, 6 year old, and 2 year old. I started out parenting under the principle of ignoring bad behavior and praising the good. In the way that I implemented that, it has created confusion for me on how and when to correct. From what I am gathering from the handful of videos/podcasts I have listened to on TSG, you recommend correcting behavior every time. How do you not increase the frequency of bad behavior when the focus is so heavily on it? I know you said that a correction should happen only once for every 6-10 positive interaction. How can this happen when it seems there is so much correcting to do?
