[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 403706, member: 1550"] I wasn't taugaht Conscsious Discipline. I had to copy the teachers. She refers to all the kids as "friends." She may say "Friends are nice to friends" or "I wish my friends would listen to me read" when they are not behaving. It's all positive and in my opinion it's nuts. This has to be a new method. My kids had normal discipline in preschool too. I laugh thinking of telling my kids, "Hey, that is not ok." Huh????? As for tantrums, for the most part the teachers and aides just let the kids have tantrums. They try to stop them in a nice way, but we all know how tantrumming difficult child's behave...they get worse if you talk to them. Since you can't put them anywhere else in the room (take them away from the others) they are screaming while the teacher is trying to teach and the other kids are trying to listen. Actually, these three kids are the only kids I've ever seen throw a tantrum. The "typical" kids may cry for a minute, but they stop pretty fast and move on. I work on the bus. I could never do the classroom job on a regular basis. I am exhausted after just one day of "that is NOT Ok" and trying to prevent the dangerous kids from hurting the others. Last time I subbed in the classroom, Child #1 almost slammed a toy shovel over the head of his "friend" I almost didn't get there in time to pull the innocent bystander away from the line of fire. Then what did I say to Child #1??? "That is not OK. Let me help you put away the shovel" in which he screamed and wouldn't let me take the shovel from him and I got a teacher to do it. God bless the teachers, really. I would never last in the classroom with that sort of discipline plan and dangerous children hurting the other ones. In practice, this Conscious Discipline simply doesn't work. The teacher probably raises her voice more than she would have to if she could remove the acting out child from the classroom and put that child in the hands of an aide or the school head. No wonder the US is falling behind other countries in education. No kids can learn in this environment. [/QUOTE]
