Director's Description to School's Approach to Discipline
Our approach at Horace Mann is to redirect children into other areas. We do not do time out. However, we work with the child to ensure they have the communication to solve problems. When a child sits in time out we are not helping them to learn to deal with the issue at hand. Instead, we work with children and build on negotiation skills, problem solving which are both needed in life. For example, when children hit other children or ,fight over toys we work with the children to learn how to express their feelings. They learn how to deal with the situation.
