Discipline and Guidance
Praise and positive reinforcement are effective methods of behavior management of children. When children receive positive, nonviolent, and understanding interactions from adults and others, they develop good self-concepts, problem-solving abilities, and self-discipline. Based on this belief, Red Bird Learning Center uses a positive approach to discipline and practices the following discipline and behavior management techniques.
