Discipline for life: getting it right with children. Ability to make good decisions and choose right actions. Not always around to discipline must learn this on their own and be able to do it on their own. Learned problem-solving skills, respectful communication, responsiveness to others, responsibility. Control power: do it because i said so . Meghan, look at you sitting there following directions. You"re doing such a good job following directions! : punishment. Doesn"t help child learn the proper behavior. Discipline: constructive guidance with choices and related consequences vs. punishment, goal of helping children develop regulation skills vs. teacher need for power/control, rewards and bribes vs. intrinsic motivators, continuity and follow through, child-centered environment. Rethink how the environment is set up. What can be altered to discourage a certain behavior: especially if you see the behavior occur consistently at the same time during a certain activity, expectations. Let them know ahead of time: natural consequences.
