Heheheh.. i believe in..
clear consistent rules...Not.. today good mood can, tomorrow bad
mood cannot. Flexibility can wait when discipline is in
place.
Firmness ... cry still must do. cry louder, also no use.
Repetition ... I just repeat what I want them to do. Over. And.
Over. Again.
Deterrent.... usually my deterrent is quiet time at a corner (a
truly horrifying place for the kids).. most of the time, the threat
of going to corner is scary enough to stop liao. Don't ask me why.
The corner is merely a well lit corner in the room, in full view of
teacher still and with chair provided even and still involved in
lessons
Explanation ... IF the kid is old enough i explain. if not, stick
to clear consistent rules.
And I try my best NEVER to lose my temper at a child. Different
from being ANGRY at what the child did. Can't say I have always
kept that promise to myself. I have lost my temper once or twice
and shouted at a child. But feel rather ashamed of myself after
that.
Cos u are doing all this to discipline the child right? So the
least qualification you got to have is to be disciplined over
urself ba.
