When appropriate, the children are given choices between two or three acceptable behaviors. A warning is given before a change in the schedule. These policies can reduce misbehavior in child care. The way child care is set-up can affect children's behavior. Toys and books should be stored where children can reach them and hooks placed low enough for them to hang their coats.
Gates can block off stairways to prevent children from playing there.
When the child care setting is safe, there are fewer chances for misbehavior. You will find information about children's issues, child care, and links to other Web sites.
