The K-8 Principal

Middle School boys are just starting their
basketball season. We wish them luck. I found a good article from
the “Parent Institute.” It was titled, “Love, Respect Make
Discipline Effective.” The article says that the goal of discipline
is to teach. That’s easier when you maintain a loving respectful
attitude. Children sense this and are more likely to respond. Here
is a Quiz they gave to see how we are doing. Give yourself zero
points for something you never do. Five points for something you
always do- or any score in between.
I say, “I love you”
to my child every day.
I compliment my child’s
good behavior.
I spend plenty
of one-on-one time with my child.
I make rules
that are fair and easy to
remember.
I help my child
learn from mistakes.
If you scored twenty or above your doing well.
Fifteen to 19 is average. Below 15? Some of us, including myself,
could do better. Have a good month.
Sincerely,
William H. Ellsworth
K-8 Principal
