It is an accurate way of parenting. In a daycare there can be some good and bad things with using her rules. For praise and rewards each kid can have there name and give them a sticker every time they do something good. Using consistency with each kid on how you discipline them it can't change for each kid, an example is time out spots . A routine for the class room is good keeps the kids interested in the day like buy using a calendar of the daily events. Boundaries should be taught by their parents but knowing what to do and what not to do by telling them. Warnings of when they are doing something wrong, give children green, yellow, and red cards. Explanations would be explaining to the child why they are in the corner or in a time out. Restraint is more the teachers to keep cool and use breathing techniques so they don't get over heated. Responsibility, each kid could have a job and it gives them something to boost their confidence.

Her techniques of discipline seem to work with Almost every child which can be useful in a daycare setting because all kids may learn in different ways. Praises and rewards should not be candy or treats and can be as simple as stickers on a chart or marbles in a jar with little rewards leading up to bigger ones such as watching a movie, picking supper for the night, or going bowling. In order for the child to learn, the parent(s)\/caregiver(s) needs to be consistent with their rules and discipline. If the child hears five different things they won't know what to believe. Causing a parent or caregiver to think the child is misbehaving when they're really just listening to another person's rules. Routines are important so that the child knows what to expect and the parent can plan things ahead of time and won't need to rush themselves or the children. Boundaries should be taught to them so they know what's right or wrong and have less of a chance in being naughty.Warnings should be used so that the child realizes they are doing something wrong and that they are given the chance to approve their behavior. Explanations should also be used with this so that they know what they can do to fix what they were misbehaving. Restraint is important for both the parents\/teachers and child to know so they can keep calm and get too upset and angry. Responsibility is good for children to learn so they do not fully depend on their parents to do everything for them. Also, it's good to teach them responsibility by giving them each an equal amount of chores to do so they feel equal to their siblings and don't feel singled out if one has less chores than the other. Relaxation is good so that the parent\/teacher has time to just sit and not have to worry about who's doing what to who and who is yelling at who.","dateCreated":"1366324007","smartDate":"Apr 18, 2013","userCreated":{"username":"hmrectk2","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/hmrectk2","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"62226018","body":"I agree with supernanny's discipline ways. They always seem to work and over the family is just happier. Every family she leaves, they always change there ways and seem to get along much better and have less problems. Yes, it doesn't always work perfectly but if the family is willing to work then it will always have a good outcome. The parents need to be in on it 100% and willing to change many things. Most of the time the parents dont agree right away and dont even try her way, but once they do they always see a change and are willing to keep on trying. Using this in a day care would help the child be more disciplined at home. Having a routine and following that everyday gives the child a sense of safety in knowing whats going on and not having to deal with any crazy or scary changes. Children need to learn how to be responsible and have there own chores and duties as a child, its not always just the parent. And the parent needs to know how to discipline correctly, they have to be strict but not to strict. Once a child learns its limits at a day care they will have those at home as well.","dateCreated":"1366993151","smartDate":"Apr 26, 2013","userCreated":{"username":"OliviaAmmon","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/OliviaAmmon","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"62547726","body":"I agree with her discipline ways.

It would be beneficial because you will run into children that are mean to maybe you or other children and you need to know how to take care of the situation. Using consistency will help so the children will know it is not a joke and you will stick to what you say. You have to have a routine so the children know what is expected and not caught off guard which can cause them to react negatively. Warnings need to be given so the children know that if they keep doing what they are then there will be a punishment. Not to many warnings should be given though. Also explanations of why they were disciplined are necessary so that the child knows why and what happened was for a reason. They are able to connect the dots and realize that when they do naughty things they have to do things they may not like.

\nYou could argue that these days, everyone is able to see everything, particularly since Americans watch around four hours of TV per day. Do you think White's forecast was correct? Have extraordinary sights been cheapened by TV? Are people more scattered in their interests since technology?

Some people found new hobbies or even sites to make things like Pintrest. When I was little i think we had more of an imagination than the kids now.

So many new things are being discovered and people keep investigating and attaching to different types of activities and interests.

Also, I think that it is still a lot more fun and interesting to see these things in person rather than on a screen. Finally, the children today are starting to become almost addicted to technology.
