Disciplining someone else's child?

The nursery is not allowed, either by law or by the insurance company, to strike a child. Feeding a preschooler horrible food or locking him in a room for an hour is not suitable, either. You are your child's first teacher.

I would suggest getting the book "Dare to Discipline" and reading it thoroughly. Discipline should allow the child to understand that choices come with consequences, even for adults (a no-parking sign is a great example of a rule and a consequence - all on one neat rectangle - for an adult.) Explain that his choice is unsatisfactory and that there are consequences for those choices. Some kids respond to time out (10-15 minutes at that age.) Some kids respond to loss of privileges.

And some kids will only respond to a spanking. But it should be just that, a spanking, not a beating, and you should try every other option first, including appealing to his sense of what is right and what is wrong. It is very difficult and painful to discipline your own kids.

But not disciplining them is worse. I work with kids every day. I worked with kids that you describe.

When everyone collaborates and agrees to the correct share of responsibility and accountability the child is guided in the right direction. The average child spends only 10% of time in school on an annual basis, so you have the largest portion of responsibility and accountability. Don't be afraid to let him know you disapprove of a choice.

Also, look for things for which to commend him. Tell him why he is doing it right or doing it wrong. "Timmy, I like it when you get the door for me.

That is very polite." Timmy, go and wash your hands before dinner. This helps keep us from getting sick."

I work with kids and have four kids of my own. As far as my kids are concerned, I am not spanking them for spilling milk and I am not putting them in time out for plying with matches. Conversely, I give them a verbal compliment for good manners and such and if they save a drowning person or pull a puppy from a descending bird-of-prey I am not just patting them on the back.

All kids are different and therefore have different needs, including discipline. Two needs they all have in common is patience and consistency.

When you work as a Teacher at a school our job is teach the child interaction, socialization etc, counting, morals, we redirect the child when the child is in the home you discipline the child we cannot lock a child up we will lose our job. Locking a child up would be considered as violating the child's rights. When a child is in a program they have rights, also the parents have rights for example to be respected for their choices in religion, food, culture, ethnicity etc. We can refer you for resources for parenting, counseling, therapy, etc but not lock the child up.

We can help to alleviate behavior problems and try to eliminate them, we can help with parent education classes and teaching parents techniques to work with their children to meet their needs Teacher cannot do corporal punishment of any kind on any children, we can be charged with abuse and neglect and lose our teaching credentials..

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
