Positive Discipline for Early Childhood Educators
Connect & Engage
If there are children in your life, there will undoubtedly be times when you have questions. Whether you're a professional or a parent, you've probably found yourself wondering:
- Why do children do that?
-
How do I build a lasting, respectful relationship with my students/child?
-
How do I go beyond dealing with misbehavior to nurture a competent, capable, happy young adult?
-
How will I know that I'm doing the right thing, for me and my students/child?
-
How do I help children grow in self-esteem, develop good social skills, and develop an interest in learning?
Early Childhood Education plays a vital role in a child’s development. It is such a magical stage as you watch children learning, interacting and using new skills as they grow. Developing a strong nurturing foundation at this key stage is important, which is why we will explore ways in which to connect with the child first and then correct (teach) the child essential social and emotional skills. Imagine, instead of controlling behavior, you can be teaching; instead of confronting apathy, you will enjoy cooperative, respectful, and happy children!
