Behavior Tips Behavior Tips

The info below contains recommendations to help your child be successful.

Focus on Routines

Kids thrive with a routine, so set clearly defined routines for the most challenging times of the day, like mornings, after school, mealtimes, and bedtimes.

Let your kids help decide how the routine will go–do we get dressed or brush our teeth first? How can you help get dinner ready?

For younger kids, write out the order of the routine using pictures or words and let them decorate it, then hang it where they’ll see it every day. Then, stick to it.


Encourage Your Kids to be Problem Solvers

To kids, they see a winner and a loser and a need to escalate the issue. Encourage your kids to find a resolution to the problem on their own, which will help them solve conflicts as they grow older. If you have to get involved, don’t choose sides, but ask questions that will help them figure out a solution that all parties can feel good about.

Walkers

We understand that older siblings may need to walk our kiddos home. Please be sure your child's teacher is aware of this arrangement. We have a new form to be completed by parents/guardians of students that are walked home by siblings that are under 18 years of age. Once the teacher is made aware, we will send home the form.
