If you have a choice of discipline skills, you will work with children better. You and the chil-dren will be less frustrated. Most people who care for young children say that discipline is their big concern.
Effective discipline teaches chil-dren behavior that is right for that time and place.
As a day care provider, you want to help children develop self-control. With self-control, children will know how to behave even when no one is watching them. Children learn best from what actually happens, not from what is said to them. Teaching children good behaviors is more than telling them what to do. Children will test limits.
