We always make eye contact when speaking to a child

We are firm but kind

We set direct and simple limits

We are always aware of our language and tone

To reward appropriate behavior

We start the day reviewing classrooms rules.

If a child is involved in a temper tantrum he or she we be allow do so.

A staff member will stay with the child and continue to speak in a calm and kind tone to the child.

A parent will be contacted if the child does not calm down

We will remove and distract a child from the situation

We will use a time-out as last resource. Time out will be a minute per age no more than four minutes.
