Guidance & discipline

The teachers believe discipline in a positive light, seeing it as a way to “teach children pro-social behaviors” and “guide them along the appropriate path”.

Goals of discipline:

To teach children the acceptable behavior patterns that are compatible with social expectations
To help children develop self discipline, self-control so that the child is able to accept responsibilities associated with freedom
To help every individual to realize unique potential and maximum capability
To assist children in moving towards autonomy and self direction
To help children come to terms with the social environment
Ex) respecting peers and instructors, sharing, taking turns, saying please/thank you/ sorry, solving problems independently or with assistance

Process of guidance/ discipline:

Verbal guidance
Handling problem situation with intervention, redirection, reminder, choosing from given choices
Verbal warnings will be given gently but firmly possibly leading to time out
Time out: not more than age appropriate time of being solicited from the group under supervision.
