Lesson 4 Dealing with Your Anger Towards Children Negative emotions are the biggest obstacles in consistently adopting a positive discipline approach. Perceptions about Anger People that are angry are… When people are angry they act… How do you feel when people get angry at you? How did your childhood role models behave when they were angry? What are your core beliefs about anger? The Upside of Anger Anger is a feeling; not a behavior. Anger is a gift. Tells us something in our lives needs attention. Helps us set strong and healthy boundaries by showing us where our weak spots are. Provides the opportunity for us to deal with things as they come up; allowing us to work through emotions and release them. Empowers us. Provides wonderful teachable moments. Connection Centered Discipline Nanny Certification Lesson 4 page 1 copyright, Lora Brawley, 2016 Sources of Anger Internal Definition Feelings from old wounds are brought up and imposed into current situation. Reaction comes from a long-standing core belief, unaddressed emotional issues, and internal voices. Clues Overreaction (often extreme) to the current situation, quickly go from calm to enraged, a very visceral reaction. EXAMPLE A child says “I don’t like this; I want something else for dinner.”, you suddenly feel like you can never do anything right for this child, nothing is ever good enough, he is never satisfied. Spillover Definition Anger from other unresolved situations or stresses in your life “spills over” into current situation. Clues Persistent sense of frustration, anger has peaks and valleys but never quite goes away, you often feel you’re overreacting but unable to stop behavior, often feel guilty afterwards. EXAMPLE You’ve cleaned up a Monday morning mess from your employer, you’re trying to figure out how you’re going to pay for your unexpected car repairs, you’re wondering if your boyfriend will call and apologize for missing your birthday and then your 5 year old charge knocks the bottle of glitter onto the floor. While cleaning up the mess, you yell at her for being clumsy and vow not to do any more craft projects with her until she learns to be more responsible. Situational Definition Anger is an appropriate response to the situation at hand. Clues You feel angry but justified, balanced, and in control. Dealing with Anger In the Moment Identify What EXACTLY am I feeling? What am I angry at? Why? Awareness – How do I show my anger? Connection Centered Discipline Nanny Certification Lesson 4 page 2 copyright, Lora Brawley, 2016 language tone body language follow-up Physical Release deep breathing movement humor Take responsibility for your actions and feelings Use I statements. NOT “I think that you’re…” or “When you do that, I…” If you feel a “punishment” or consequence given is inappropriate, take it back! Apologize Specify what you are apologizing for. “I’m sorry about yesterday” vs. “I’m sorry that I yelled at you yesterday. I shouldn’t have said you never take care of your things because that isn’t true. I should have said I was frustrated that even after I asked you 3 times to put your muddy clothes in the hamper, they are still laying on your floor.” Be honest. If your words are insincere, a child will know it. Better to take more time than to say something you don’t mean. Explain but don’t blame. If you don’t act appropriately in a situation, it is helpful to explain why (to a point!) but you still need to be accountable for what you do and say. “That police officer made me upset and I just didn’t need a spilled drink on top of that.” vs. “I was upset because I got a parking ticket so I overreacted when you spilled your drink in the car.” Allow for resolution What would make you feel better? Ask for it! Accept resolution and let it go. Problem solve What is my trigger in this situation? Truly listen to the child’s view on what the problem is and how he/she feels about it. How can we avoid this situation in the future? What can I expect from you? What can you expect from me? Connection Centered Discipline Nanny Certification Lesson 4 page 3 copyright, Lora Brawley, 2016 Preventive Maintenance Learn to self assess quickly and correctly. Understand child development. Children often do things that seem in direct opposition to what you want / need / have told them to do. Much of this is completely age-appropriate and is not directed at you personally. Have a plan of action. When you know how you’re going to act in a particular situation, you’re less likely to say or do something you’ll regret later. Know your triggers and put solutions in place to minimize the number of times they come up. Set and keep clear and healthy boundaries. Find a relaxation / stress reduction technique that works for you. Balance your life. Vent to a support person but stay focused on the positive. Modeling I can trust what I feel. Even when people are angry at me, they still love me. When someone or something makes me mad, it’s OK to say so. When I do something that makes someone angry, I can make it better. When I’m angry, I feel it in my mind, my heart, and my body. I am responsible for what I say and do when I am angry. I am safe and confident in how people react. I can understand how other people feel and still feel how I feel. Connection Centered Discipline Nanny Certification Lesson 4 page 4 copyright, Lora Brawley, 2016 .

  • Family Meeting Album V2
    © Positive Discipline OUR FAMILY MEETING ALBUM [Insert Your Family Picture Here] Introduction Children learn so much during family meetings, such as listening, respecting differences, verbalizing appreciation, problem-solving, experiencing that mistakes are wonderful opportunities to learn, and focusing on solutions. I have a much longer list, but you get the idea. Family meetings also create a family tradition and will create many memories. A family meeting album can be as much fun as a photo album. You and your family will chuckle as you look back at past challenges you solved together. You will enjoy looking at your family mottos, gratitude pages, mistakes you learned from, problems you solved, fun things you did together, and meals you planned. How to Use This Family Meeting Album Start by pasting a picture of your family on the cover page. Place the cover (with your family picture) on the cover of a binder that provides a clear plastic place to insert your picture. Begin by reading, “Why Have Family Meetings”, “The Family Meeting Agenda” and “Family Meeting Jobs”. Print out several weekly challenges pages (all pages that are blank except for headings are at the end of this document, and can be printed over and over) on three hole punched paper, and introduce them at your first family meeting. Every week post a new Family Meeting Agenda page on the refrigerator (or wherever works for your family) so that family members can write down the challenges that need to be solved. When finished, save each page in your family meeting album. As you read through the rest of “Why Have Family Meetings,” and the “Family Meeting Agenda,” you will learn about compliments and other “pages” and activities to spice up your family meetings.

  • Establishing Positive Discipline Policies in an Urban Elementary School
    47 Establishing Positive Discipline Policies in an Urban Elementary School Laura L. Feuerborn, PhD, NCSP, University of Washington, Tacoma Ashli D. Tyre, Ed.D., NCSP, Seattle University Researchers and school practitioners alike are finding positive outcomes in the proactive practices of schoolwide positive behavior supports (SWPBS). However, reform through such systemic efforts as SWPBS is a challenging endeavor. For SWPBS to reach the widest number of schools, it is necessary to provide school faculty and staff with the knowledge and tools necessary to design and implement effective behavioral supports. Foundations is a staff development tool designed to guide school teams through the process of developing positive disciplinary practices consistent to the principles of SWPBS that prevent problem behavior and encourage safety and civility. This paper includes a description of SWPBS and Foundations followed by outcomes from a diverse, urban elementary school. Following one year of implementation, data indicated positive changes in schoolwide behavior and discipline practices. KEYWORDS: schoolwide positive behavior supports, discipline reform, positive behavior interventions and supports Successful resolution to changing student needs requires the restructuring of school practices in a manner that consistently and proactively supports positive behavior for all students and in all settings. Schoolwide positive behavior support (SWPBS) is a promising approach for addressing these needs (Netzel & Eber, 2003; Skiba & Peterson, 2000; Turnbull

  • What Is Positive Discipline?
    DISCIPLINE What is Positive Discipline? Positive discipline is a way of teaching and guiding children by letting them know what behavior is acceptable in a way that is firm, yet kind. Punishment describes methods of control, gained by requiring rules or orders be obeyed and punishing undesired behavior. Discipline comes from the Latin root word disciplina, which means “giving instruction, to teach.” Recent brain research has confirmed that people learn best when they feel safe and connected to others, in the context of safe relationships. Therefore, the goal of positive discipline is to teach by first creating safe relationships with children. Connection must come before correction in order for discipline to be effective in the long term.1 The most powerful tool for teaching children is modeling what we want them to do or to be. Why is Positive Discipline Important? Positive discipline: • Teaches children responsibility, self-discipline, problem-solving skills and cooperation. • Is respectful to both children and adults. • Builds trust and strengthens relationships, helping form new connections in a child’s brain. • Builds and maintains self-esteem. • Teaches children how to manage their emotions. • Teaches children to deal with stress in healthy ways. • Invites children to contribute in meaningful ways and develops their sense of significance. • Develops strong understanding that one has power or influence over what happens to them in life. Five Criteria for Effective Discipline1 : 1. Helps children feel a sense of connection (belonging and significance). 2. Is mutually respectful and encouraging (kind and firm at the same time). 3. Is effective long-term (considers what the child is thinking and feeling, learning, and deciding about himself and his world, and what to do in the future to survive or to thrive).

  • Positive Discipline Model Process: 1) Limit Setting, 2) Responsibility Training, 3) Omission Training, 4) a Back-Up System
    THE POSITIVE DISCIPLINE MODEL According to Fredric Jones - Positive Discipline Model Process: 1) limit setting, 2) responsibility training, 3) omission training, 4) a back-up system. These four systems must be running in parallel if the full discipline system is to work. Medium Back-up System - Includes time out, loss of privileges, parent conferences, and detention. Sanctions according to Jones: 1) Time out in classroom 2) Time out in colleague's classroom Less acceptable: 3) Public warning 4) Threat 5) Being sent to the hall 6) Detention after school 7) Loss of privilege 8) Parent Conference Poor practice: 9) Lowering the student's grade 10) Extra homework 1 and 2. Time Out: a) Rules and expectations spelled out clearly b) Consequences described and demonstrated in advance c) Select an appropriate time out place that denies student substitute means of reward d) Early response to problem behavior and limit setting followed by warning e) Follow through the next time (consistency) f) Effective delivery of student to time out if she resists g) Effective response to problems that student might cause while in time out MYTHS OF RULES AND DISCIPLINE: 1. Students (especially middle/high school) should already know how to behave. 2. It takes too much time to teach rules and structure. 3. Rules are general guidelines and need only to be announced. 4. Teach rules well at the beginning and then you can forget about them. 5. Teaching rules equates to undue strictness. 6. Students hate rules. General rule of Positive Discipline - With a sense of predictability, students can feel safe and relax.
