Elementary school approaches

Posted by: | Comments (12)

Is anyone out there using this approach in an elementary school setting? (especially if you teach 2nd or 3rd) If so, what consequence do you use?

Have you altered the approach at all based on the needs of younger students?

It is so radically different from the “positive discipline” approaches I’m used to. At times I feel that I’m being harsh, but then at the same time, I notice it works and more gets done. Those days when I don’t follow it consistently (I just recently started), I end the day frustrated and wonder why I allowed so much time to be wasted on warning after warning.
