Children and self discipline
Children need discipline to learn self-control, acceptable social behaviors, and limits. Effective discipline involves setting clear rules, positive reinforcement of good behaviors, consistency, and using techniques like timeout proportionate to the child's age and misbehavior. Punishment should not replace encouragement, and parents should agree on discipline and be respectful role models. Positive discipline teaches alternatives to misbehavior and respects the child.

- 2. What is Discipline? TheProcess of Shaping and moulding a Child’s attitude and behaviour over the years.
- 3. When you thinkof disciplining What do you think of ?
- 4. Do you thinkof ? શું આ તો નહી ને?
- 5. Discipline Discipline is theuse of methods to teach children behavior guidelines. Teaching these guidelines should begin as the child begins to move around.
- 6. To get alongin the world… • Children need some basic guidelines for behavior. • Adults have the responsibility to teach children how to behave. • Older brothers and sisters help by setting good examples.
- 7. Discipline Teaches..... • Self-control •Limits • Behavior patterns that are acceptable to society. It should involve respect, support and encouragement as well as communication of limits or boundaries.
- 8. Effective Techniques Set limits withrules Rules are necessary to protect a child from danger and set examples of acceptable behavior. Everyone is more confident and comfortable knowing how to act in a new situation.
- 9. Communication Tell the childwhat he or she must do rather than what they should not do! Keep explanations simple and brief, they have limited vocabulary and a limited attention span. Be prepared to repeat over and over to toddlers. The difficult hostile child is the one who needs love and guidance the most!
- 10. Positive Reinforcement • Childrenrepeat the actions they are praised for!. • Children give up any actions that are ignored by others.
- 11. Be Consistent! Discipline thesame way every time that behavior occurs. Be Fair! Be reasonable and impartial. Be Firm! Stick to your rules.
- 12. Rewards • Reward thegood behavior – don’t only notice the negative behavior. • Be immediate and direct with discipline and rewards – hugs are free!
- 13. DO: • Set goodexamples and be the role model. • Use timeout-remove the child from the misbehavior- this should give them time to think about the misbehavior. • Take away privileges to promote desired behavior-especially with older children. • Discipline the behavior-not the child!
- 14. • Consider thechild’s age and ability. • Match the consequence with the crime (misbehavior).
- 15. DON’T: • Do notRely on physical punishment! • Do not Make threats you cannot keep – older children. • Do not yell – talk to the child and explain why he or she should or should not do certain things. • Parents should be in agreement about discipline or not be in disagreement in front of the child.
- 16. Negative Reinforcement Punishment It tendsto discourage the behavior with which it is associated. • Punishment should not take the place of encouragement and clearly stated limits. • It can be part of positive and effective discipline, when used with good judgment.
- 17. Children are positivelydisciplined when: • They are shown positive alternatives rather than just told “no” • They are encouraged to think of alternatives to the misbehavior • Their display of appropriate behavior is recognized and rewarded
- 18. • They seehow their actions affect others • They are respected • The expectations are fair, simple and consistently enforced. Children are positively disciplined when
- 19. Children are inconsistentlydisciplined when: • Different limits are set on different days by the same person • Different adults set different limits • No limits are set • Limits are able to be changed • Adult expectations are too high or low
- 20. Be preventative • Changethe environment to prevent misbehaviour
- 21. Be preventative • Cuethe child using verbal, model, physical, props or other prompts • Ignore the inappropriate behavior • Redirect or distract from potential problems • State the rule before it is broken • Give two appropriate alternative choices before the inappropriate behavior occurs
- 22. Positive discipline isused when: • Adults use a plan to: – Respond quickly and calmly, using few words – Reduce the misbehavior – Replace the misbehavior by teaching an alternative, appropriate skill that serves the same purpose as the misbehavior

Editor's Notes
- #15 Discipline on the spot-the child may forget why he/she is being punished. શિસ્ત નું પાલન તાત્કાલિક – બાળકોને શા માટે સજા મળી છે એ ભૂલી જાય છે
- #19 Talk about some of the ideas listed on the mind maps and add this information if it did not appear on any group’s flip chart.
- #20 Continue to share.
- #21 Presenter should share how it makes adults feel when there are inconsistent expectations placed on them. If your supervisor asks you to do one thing one day and something else the next day, you might display the following behaviors: Put off doing the task. Complain. Rant and rave to a friend or colleague. Share information on slide with the participants and do the following activity. Activity Ask participants about what inconsistency in discipline looks like in the classroom. What behaviors would the children possibly demonstrate?
- #22 What could you do to the environment to prevent the behavior from ever occurring? If children are climbing on the cots stacked in the corner, remove the cots. If children are running through the classroom because there are wide-open spaces, move furniture to create smaller, more contained areas. If children are getting into fights because the block area is too small, make the area bigger or limit the number of children that can be in the area at one time. If children are taking too long to clean up, make sure that all shelves and containers are marked with words and photos so children will know where things go quickly.
- #23 Here are more preventative techniques.
- #24 The exact opposite occurs when positive discipline strategies are used and adults have a plan and use the three “Rs” — respond, reduce and replace. Teaching is the key to positive discipline. The child must be taught an appropriate behavior that will get the same result as the inappropriate behavior that is used.
