PBIS CORNER
Laying the Foundation for Acceptable Behavior
A huge part of your child’s behavior is determined by how you react to situations.
Set your child up for success with clear expectations, being consistent, and showing the behavior you want to see.
Set limits.
Of course, boundaries will be different for different ages. When considering limits, think physical and verbal. Babies who are crawling around and getting into dangerous things need physical limits. Move the houseplant to a higher shelf, install a baby lock on cabinets with breakables, or put a baby gate in front of the temptation of glowing buttons on TVs. As your child moves into the toddler and preschool age, your limits will become more verbal. “We don’t step off the curb without holding Daddy’s hand.” For older children setting boundaries can be more difficult. One way to help your child understand why it’s important to follow rules is to see them as working both ways. For instance, people are in charge of their own bodies, and it’s not okay to touch them if they dont’ want you to, just like it’s not okay for someone to touch you in a way you don’t like. Set the expectation for how you want your child to behave at school. At Cloud Springs, the expectation for the entire school is BE RESPONSIBLE, BE RESPECTFUL, BE A TEAM. Any behavior that does not meet this expectation will be dealt with by teacher, faculty and staff.
Be consistent.
All the limits in the world won’t help if your child doesn’t know what to expect next or can’t predict your reactions. If you implement a strategy, do your best to do it all the time. Otherwise, your child won’t know whether to believe your one minute reminders or know how you will respond when you reach the count of 3.
Model what you want to see!. Your child learns how to interact with her world by watching you. Want a calm, kind Child? Be a calm, kind parent.
