How does Morningside handle discipline issues?
Children in the pre-school years are asserting their independence. Sometimes this can inadvertently result in behaviors that are either unsafe for the child, for their peers, disruptive to classroom or simply socially inappropriate. Our teachers understand this and address discipline issues through positive redirection and offering logical/natural consequences to the child’s action-never through punishment. A child who engages in inappropriate behavior will be told why the behavior is inappropriate, warned of what consequences that behavior may have, and if the behavior persists, will experience a logical outcome of the behavior s/he has chosen to continue. In all cases, the child will feel that he is control of the outcome of his/her actions.
