Slides. Only one child permitted at a time on the ladder/access, and on slide until child leaves slide at bottom. They complied and became rather fascist about enforcing the rule themselves.

Explain to the children what your expectations of them are during the practice. If need write it down in simple, straight forward, easy to understand terms. Give them a reward if all expectations are met and consequnces (or remove privileges) if they are not met. Make age appropriate rewards and consequences for the children of different ages. You may break them up into teams and have them strive for rewards as a group.

More than anything else, when I have seen my children taking a wrong turn in life I have wanted to implant my experience into their heads. Of course that is not possible. But that is what I would give them if I could. I would give them my experiences in life in such a way that they would learn from me and not make the mistakes themselves. Well I can dream.

It's hard in a situation like that.  I coach fifteen year old girls and I had a similar incident and I wasn't sure how to go about helping her.  It took me awhile to try and get her help because I wanted to make sure and have the best action plan.

I understand the stress you are under and as i work at a school with many children like the ones you describe it is easy to see how this can happen.\n  That said however,the fact that you used this language more than once will be hard to defend.\n  If you haven't had sufficient training you may have mitigation but the panel may feel that such stressful situations are part of the job and your ability to control yourself and set an example to the children is a prerequisite for being employed.\n\nI would advise you get some legal advice as soon as possible.\nThis is a serious situation and this is perhaps not the best place to look for advice.\nI wish you all the best.

Young kids are really concerned about the basics like what will happen to them. How will the practical things in life change for them....home school, friends, being loved. Next they want to know what will happen to you. Give them honest talk about what you believe. If you have not engaged in talks about faith, then doing a "some people think this. and some people think that" talk gives them a variety of things to chose from to find the one that comforts them the most. When they ask what you think, tell them. It is an opportunity to model to your children loving parenting in the preparations you make for their security, and also how you meet your death will be the greatest lesson they may ever learn. Fear of death is one that all humanity struggles with. Those who have no fear, live life most fully I think.  I recommend levity in the heaviest places. I especially recommend being a part of life until the moment you are not.

Explain to them, if they are old enough to understand what you are saying, that what they did was wrong and if they do it again, there will be consequences for it.  Time out, no tv, no games, no playing outside or having friends over, are some suggestions.  Also if the kids are near your home, don't let your child near them if they are a bad influence.

When my children were young, I was told to keep them close to me early on and they'll be confident as they grow up. Sure enough it worked. My kids could go places and be comfortable with people while they grew up as they had been very close while learning to be independant.

Well, if it's really small children, it's a good idea to get at their eye level when you talk, that way you're not so intimidating. dont use unnecissarily long words, but dont dumb it down too much for them- they can think, too. Like anyone else, they want to be listened to1 If you ask them to talk about something, listen and respond to what they say! dont just set them off rembling and then direct your attention elsewhere. : D. Also, a good way to get kids to maybe stop doing something they shouldnt be is the 'I know...But...' format. Such as, 'I know you want to play for five more minutes, but our dinner will get cold if we dont leave now' \n\nI hope this helps a bit!

This is far too big of a topic for Yahoo Answers but I'll give you my thoughts.  Overall:  Keep It Simple\n\n1.  Activities - there seems to be two situations to prepare for - inside disasters (fire, spills, etc.) and outside disasters (weather, earthquakes, etc.).  You can't cover all the scenarios - especially with primary school children - so it has to be a game "Get Out" and another of "Hide and Quiet".  "Get Out" should involve a game of trying to find the quickest way out of parts of the building.  It should also involve two spots on the school grounds where children should go to.  A staff person should be assigned to each spot to gather the children, tend wounds, take names, etc. "Hide and Quiet" means lights out, shades drawn, door locked, and perhaps, children under desks and tables.  Ideally, several times a year, each game should be practiced.\n\n2.  If staffing permits and it is safe, those staff members not directly working with students should be assigned corridors, stair wells, bleachers and locker rooms, etc. to search and secure.\n\n3.  Accidents in schools range from a hurt knee to destruction of the school by bomb, tornado, etc.  I'd fall back on step 1 options for most cases.\n\nEmergencies by nature are chaotic so keeping things simple is important.\n\nMike Honeycutt

Thats pretty funny. I have one too.\n\n\nA group of kindergartners were trying very hard to become accustomed to the first grade. The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on NO baby talk! \n \n"You need to use 'Big People' words," she was always reminding them. \n \nShe asked Chris what he had done over the weekend? "I went to visit my Nana." "No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use 'Big People' words! \n \nShe then asked Mitchell what he had done. "I took a ride on a choo-choo." She said "No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use 'Big People' words." \n \nShe then asked little Alex what he had done? "I read a book," he replied. "That's WONDERFUL!" the teacher said. "What book did you read?" \n \n[You'll love this] \n \nAlex thought real hard about it, then puffed out his chest with great pride and said, "Winnie the SH*T."

Tell your boss your kid is sick from your dying grandmother\nwho survived getting hit by a lightening bolt, the lightening bolt caught your house on fire, when the house fell from the fire it hit a tree, the tree hit your car that rolled into the street, when it rolled into the street it cause a car pileup that tied up traffic, then tell your boss the traffic will make it impossible for you to get to work.

Funny you should ask...\nI just did correct my step son who is 10 years old at Chrstmas when he splattered water all over my meds and hair dryer in the bathroom and I had to dry everything off...\nI then told my daughter and her husband I was sorry I got mad but I had to do all the work to clean up everything...\nI have also told kids in public not to touch things that they were close to breaking...

Try being a little bit more strict, not to the point of being harsh though. Just let them know that you are their teacher, and they need to stay on task. Also be consistent with your punishings. For instance, if one week you punish a lot of children for talking, and the next week you slack off a little bit, then they may get the idea that its okay to talk whenever they want to. Hope this helps. =)

Try this on for size...Whisper this sentence into one of the kids ear. "My father told my brother that his monkey was digging in the back yard". Now have this student whisper the same sentence to the student next to them and so on until it reaches the last student. Have that student then tell you what he was told. You will be surprised at the answer you get. This works really well with kids age 10 to 15.
