8 Rules, Guidance Techniques, and Consequences Parents and teachers set limitations on the behavior of very young children to help them learn about safety and living with others. Rules teach positive social behavior, discipline, and self-control. They provide guidelines for how one should act and react, and what kind of behavior is expected. Consistency and structure bring out the very best behavior from a child. Listed below are the classroom rules children are expected to obey: 1. Remain seated during large group time and at other special times requested by the teacher. (such as, for special visitors) 2. Children should raise their hands to talk when the teacher is leading a group time and at other times when listening quietly is needed. 3. *In the classroom, only walking is allowed. Running is for the playground. 4. In the classroom, only inside voices should be used. Yelling and other loud noises should be saved for the playground. 5. *Throwing objects in the classroom is not allowed. All equipment, furniture, materials, toys, etc, must be treated with care. 6. *We will be kind to our classmates and friends. Hurting others is not allowed. This includes hitting, pinching, kicking, biting, and rough play. While all rules are important and should be followed, certain safety rules (*) are of the most extreme importance. Therefore, parents will be notified in the event that an important safety rule is not followed. A safe, secure, and happy environment is a top priority. Teachers will use the listed guidance techniques to reinforce and encourage appropriate behavior. 1. Praise (ex: Thank you for washing the table. or Thank you for being quiet in the hall. ) 2. Modeling (Teachers will model appropriate behavior) 3. I-Messages (ex: When blocks are thrown, I m afraid someone will get hurt. The blocks must stay on the floor.) 4. Broken Record (The teacher continues to repeat a request/statement until the child complies.) 5. Encouragement (ex: Jimmy, I like the way you are waiting for your turn. ) 6. Positive Statements (ex: Todd, we use our crayons on the paper. ) 7. Redirection/Distraction (ex: The teacher helps the child move to another activity when a disagreement or problem is about to occur in the area that the child is in.) 8. Logical Consequences (ex: The teacher provides two choices Emily, you must keep your paintbrush on the easel or in the paint cup or you will have to stop painting and go to a different center. ) 9. Time Out (ex: Tammy, our rule is that we will be kind to our friends. It hurts Kim when you kick her. I want you to sit in the time out chair for a few minutes. )
