Your warmth and enthusiasm have a very positive effect on children. Greet students with the courtesy and respect which you expect in return. If you do not get these desired responses from a student, try not to take it personally. Assume that the child is having a problem which is not related to you. Model proper language usage.
Children learn language from the language they hear.
Expect to hear some fantasies, tall tales, incorrect and unacceptable language. Some children hear language and see behavior at home which is not acceptable at school. Instead of criticizing a child's home, explain the type of language and behavior that are appropriate for school use. Make good use of wait time . It is easier to maintain discipline when students are busy at worthwhile, interesting tasks with little time to get bored and restless.
