At the heart of Teacher/Child Interaction is this simple but heartfelt philosophy: “Teachers must deal with children with humor, compassion and respect.” With that in mind, this program illustrates several strategies that teachers can use to help children learn to become more self-disciplined and self-confident. Some topics touched on include:. • the importance of modeling appropriate behavior • the struggle to stay away from “no” • giving children options • arbitrating disputes • helping children understand other viewpoints • how to best allow children to express negative feelings in appropriate ways • the concept of redirection • dealing with the needs of the individual child • the one hard-and-fast rule every teacher should know.
