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
