When children are tired or hungry, they tend to behave badly. Nielsen says parents should make sure their children get enough sleep and nutritious food to cut down on misbehavior. When they admit doing something wrong, tell them that you would have been more angry or disapppointed if they hadn't admitted their mistake. It's important that parents and teachers be models for good manners. Praise good behavior.
Praise is a wonderful teacher.
Before long, good manners will be second nature to them. Science Update conferences will be held at the University of Northern Iowa for kindergarten through eighth grade science education, junior high earth science and high school physics teachers on Friday, March 6. JoAnne Vasquez, science coordinator for Mesa, Ariz., Public Schools, will serve as the keynote speaker for these three groups. Vasquez is also a past president of the National Science Teachers Association. The conference will host approximately 100 science teachers.
