This type of discipline will not be used in my home, regardless of your practices of your own home. Instead, I use the following discipline methods to handle any dangerous or hurtful offense: For children under the age of 18 months, I find it most effective to remove the child from the situation, and redirect their attention elsewhere. Although I will most likely explain to the child that the offending behavior was inappropriate, children of this age are rarely able to fully understand what they have done. Fortunately, their attention span is also usually shorter than with older children, so simply showing them a different toy or activity usually does the job. We will approach children of age 2 and over, we will alert the child to the offense by explaining why the behavior is unacceptable, and offering the child the choice to behave. If the child chooses not to behave appropriately, I will first explain to the child why their behavior is not acceptable, and then place the child in a chair near the stair isolated observation for a period of about 1 minute per year of age. At the end of the time-out, I will ask the child if he or she understands why they had a time-out, ask if they understand why they shouldn’t do that behavior, then ask if they are ready to play nicely again. This method not only stops the offending behavior, but also teaches the child consequence, responsibility, and empathy in a positive manner. However, dangerous and hurtful offenses include hitting, biting, kicking, pushing, hair pulling, throwing objects at someone, climbing on an inappropriate structure, willful destruction of property, tantrum throwing, and not following reasonable requests. These relatively minor offenses will be handled as described above, depending upon the child’s age and developmental stage. To a point, kids will be kids - but only as long as the emotional and physical safety of all of the children in my care is protected. In the rare instance that I feel any child in my care has a serious discipline problem; I will request a conference with the parent(s). If an understanding cannot be reached, I reserve the right to terminate our contract with as much notice as possible in order to guarantee the comfort and safety of the other children in my care. Child Abuse Unfortunately, this is a topic that must be addressed in today’s society. It goes without saying that I will not knowingly allow any form of sexual, physical, or emotional abuse of any child in my care at any time. This includes the time that the child is in their own home. On the surface, this may sound like an invasion of privacy, but I cannot ethically turn a blind eye toward such abuse. I have been trained in the recognition of all forms of child abuse, and will do everything in my power to prevent any instances from occurring. If I notice any signs of abuse at any time, I will alert that child’s parent(s) immediately both verbally and in writing, along with a full description of the symptoms. (bruising, sores, sudden extreme behavioral changes, etc.) I will document this same information for myself, and if necessary, alert the proper authorities after first attempting to handle the situation discreetly. You may get notes about your child having bruises or scrapes without needing to fear that I suspect you of abusing your child. Be assured, if I think your child has been abused, I will let you know! The notes I send home are just to alert you in general of any instances that may come up, and also to protect myself from mistaken accusations of abuse. I would prefer not to have to deal with this issue, but I think it is best that we handle it openly and honestly to avoid any possible misunderstandings. We both want what is best for our children. Please feel free to discuss this or any other issues with me at any time.
