Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline
Foremost in our discipline policy is the maintenance of a constant, yet flexible structure. Children do best when they know what is expected of them. Our staff promotes good behavior through age-appropriate strategies, including positive reinforcement and 'setting a good example.'When unacceptable behavior occurs, a child is first given positive redirection. If this is not sufficient, the child is removed to another activity with the assurance the s/ he may return when able to use proper behavior. This type of interchange allows the child to see the actual consequences of his or her actions, and reinforces the norms of acceptable behavior. If the problem continues, the child is removed to an adjacent area and given a 'thinking time' of two to five minutes. The allows the child to regain some inner control and to reassess the situation. At the end of the 'thinking time' the teacher and the child will discuss the problem and the child's feelings. Episodes of unacceptable behavior are considered a normal part of children's development, and you are encouraged to discuss your child's behavior with your child's teacher. It is important for you to inform your child's teacher of changes or disruptions in his/her life that might affect behavior at the Center. This will help us understand and work together in supportive ways. Extracted from A.S.C.C. website at http://www.ascc4kids.org/Left%20Main%20Menu/parhndbk05.pdf
