“The first idea that the child must acquire, in order to be actively disciplined, is that of the difference between good and evil; and the task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility, and evil with activity, as often happens in the case of the old-time discipline.” ~ Maria Montessori

5. BENEFITS OF CHILD SENDING TO PRE-SCHOOL

the grooming a childs personality at an early
age. In good pre-school it’s focusing on
academics and highlights the environment.

preschools:

snooping questions in their mind.

physically healthy.

arranged will develop their self-belief and social
skills by allowing them to act together with new
people.

13. SLEEP PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN CHILD’S LIFE - PRE-SCHOOL
Marc Weissbluth, MD, provides insight
on the functions of sleep in his book
Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child.
"Sleep is the power source that keeps
your mind alert and calm. Every night
and at every nap, sleep recharges the
brain's battery.
Sleeping well increases brainpower
just as weight lifting builds stronger
muscles, because sleeping well
increases your attention span and
allows you to be physically relaxed
and mentally alert at the same time.
Then you are at your personal best. “

14. Guidelines for sleep
1-3 years olds need 13-14 hours/day
3-6 years olds need 10.5 -12 hours/day
7-12 year olds need 10-11 hours/day

Related means the consequence must be related to the behavior.
Respectful means the consequence must not involve blame, shame or
pain; and should be kindly and firmly enforced.
Reasonable means the consequence must not include piggy backing and
is reasonable from the child’s point of view as well as the adult’s.
Helpful means it will encourage change for everyone involved.

17. Incentives/Rewards
It is necessary to gratifying a child for good behavior at the right
