Does anyone mind sharing their discipline policy? I care for children up to 3 years old. I want to put something in my policy handbook. Thanks!

(Name of Center) participates in positive guidance. This method teaches children the skill of self-discipline. Children are not born with this skill; they need to develop it as they grow. Children develop self-discipline in an environment where there are clear, consistent and age appropriate limits for behavior. The caregiver’s role is to help children understand their emotions, peers’ emotions and the consequences of their actions.
Examples of Positive Guidance for Infants and Toddlers
• Redirect the child to an appropriate activity.
• Model desired behavior for child.
• Address the emotions that the child is feeling.
Examples of Positive Guidance for Preschool Age Children
• Guide the child in making the right choice.
• Redirect the child to an appropriate activity.
• Address the emotions that the child is feeling.
• Talk to the child about the consequence of their choice and how it affects others.
• Discuss with child what they can do next time.
**Time away will only be used when a child is harming their self or a peer/ caregiver or if they are being so disruptive that it is taking away from the learning experience of the other children** -
