Catherine | It was actually pretty simple. I made them know that without a shadow of a doubt that I was holding them responsible for their behavior. They knew very well that I loved them unconditionally. . .a lot of my students would call me Mom. ..lol! And I used the "I'm disappointed in your behavior" thing. I think it is universal in children and people, for that matter, to want to please the people they love and that love them. It worked very well for me. I would never use fear. I've seen too many teachers that do. . .and I think it's just sad. The teacher I student taught with did that. It was disgusting. Her students hated her and what kind of adult would stand over a child like that? Yuck! I know some kids are more difficult than others. But I have found blatant honesty and genuine caring will cut through that. Kids know when you are truly looking out for their best interest. They are not stupid that way. To them it was Mrs H. loves me and shows that every day. . .I better take her seriously when she tells me something, because I know she is telling the truth and only wants what is best for me.
