Positive Guidance at Preschool: Helping Kids With Big Feelings
Little kids have big feelings. That is normal. The question is how a school helps them handle those feelings.
At New Discoveries, we call it child guidance. We want each child to be as successful as possible. Positive guidance builds self-control, teaches responsibility, and helps children make thoughtful choices.
What It Looks Like in the Classroom
One-on-one connection time, like I Love You Rituals
Class-made books written for a child's needs
Picture cards that show what is expected
Ways to serve the school, other children, or the community
Naming feelings, like "You look frustrated"
Conscious Discipline tools, like the I Am feeling chart and the I Choose self-control board
Teaching skills a child is missing, one step at a time
Why We Do It This Way
Every adult who cares for children helps guide and correct them. We do it with kindness. We encourage each child's individuality. And we partner with parents so home and school work together.
