Spanish term

el control que ejercen los elogios hacia

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Behavioural techniques / Social Reward
El premio social se ha empleado, con frecuencia, las alabanzas y el reconocimiento social, para mejorar los síntomas y comportamientos conflictivos relacionados con la hiperactividad. El elogio y la aprobación de familiares y profesores hacia sus conductas positivas tienen mucho valor para los niños que padecen TDAH y, consecuentemente, poseen un gran potencial a la hora de reducir la impulsividad y la actividad motriz y aumentar la atención.

Este tipo de técnica suele orientarse a que, paulatinamente, sean los propios niños los que reconozcan y diferencien los comportamientos que los benefician y vayan anotándolos en una hoja de registro. De esta forma, se transferirá **el control que ejercen los elogios hacia** el propio niño que podrá obtener así una mayor autorregulación de su comportamiento.

"the control the positive reinforcement (or complements) has/have to"

That's the best way to word the selected phrase. However, the whole sentence could probably use some tinkering to make it sound better in English. Play around with moving the phrases from the beginning to the end.
