How do you discipline the children?

Acceptable behavior is encouraged by giving positive verbal rewards. This reinforces a child’s good feeling about his/her behavior and serves as an example to the children to act in such a way as to receive this praise. Asking a child to stop and think about their behavior enables the child to work at self-control. Depending on the situation, one warning is usually given and the child is redirected or reminded of acceptable behavior. The next step would be time out. This time out is not a punishment, but rather a time when the child may calm down, remember what behavior is acceptable, and when they are ready to rejoin the group with appropriate behavior.
