Most important is to be proactive and set up situations which avoid poor behavior possibilities. Formal instruction in educational theory, developmental psychology, and behavioral management is important for any Jewish professional dealing with children. Never undermine a child's self esteem, we work so hard to build it. To feel good about being Jewish, one must feel good about oneself. I believe it is essential to stick with the positives and if consequences are needed, make them the natural result of the undesired action.
Kids can understand that and agree it's fair.
Thanks for providing this kind of forum. Our community is planning a city-wide Sukkot program. If so please share ideas for stations, activities, etc. I broke up the order of the seder in to several stations. Eight was convenient for me, but clearly there can be more.
