Red Barn Children’s Center
Discipline Policies
Teachers will express respect, acceptance, and comfort for all children regardless of the child’s behavior.
Teachers will recognize that the goal of discipline is to teach a child self control.
Teachers will guide children by setting clear, consistent, fair limits for classroom behavior. They will help older children learn to set their own limits.
Our basic rules of behavior are “Be Safe” and “Be Kind”.
Teachers will help children learn self control by guiding children to resolve conflicts by using words and negotiating.
Teachers will redirect children, when necessary, to more acceptable behavior or activities.
Teachers will listen when children talk about their feelings and frustrations and help children learn to express these feelings in a positive manner.
Teachers will recognize possible causes of a child’s behavior and speak with the parents and the director about helping the child.
Teachers will exhibit patience in helping children understand rules and the rationale for rules. Teachers will demonstrate coping skills and model behavior for children.
Teachers will not humiliate, ridicule, cause fear, physically punish, neglect, or abuse any child.
