Positive Discipline Parenting Tool -  CURIOSITY QUESTIONS/PREGUNTAS DE CURIOSIDAD

8/19/2020

0 Comments

 
Have you noticed how often you are telling instead of asking ?  When we are asking instead of telling, we are giving our children the opportunity to think and feel capable. If you find yourself telling instead of asking, stop for a minute and think about how you can change the command to a curiosity question. 

Here are some ideas, feel free to post them around the house to help you remember how to use curiosity questions:

¿Cómo puedes resolver el problema con tu hermano? / 
How can you solve the problem with your brother?
​

¿Qué necesitas hacer para que tus juguetes estén en su lugar? / What do you need to do to clean up your toys?

¿Cuáles son las reglas para jugar con el agua? / 
What are the expectation to play with the water?

Positive Discipline Parenting Tool -  POSITIVE TIME-OUT/TIEMPO FUERA POSITIVO

8/5/2020

0 Comments

 
Positive time-outs are intended to stop negative behaviors and to help children cool off and gain self-control using available resources, including you (mom/dad/caregiver). When children are young the time-out teaches them how to do this and gives them an opportunity to practice those new skills. As the child gets older, time out is both a reminder to the child to regain control over himself and a push to do so.

Here are some tips for creating and using positive time outs with your child:
  • Create a “cozy corner” or other safe, comforting place with your child where he/she can retreat for comfort and renewal.
  • Help him/her decorate it and ask him/her to choose comforting objects, such as stuffed animals, blankets, books or quiet activities. 
  • Encourage him/her to give it a special name.

    Pasitos is an eco-friendly, bilingual community based on learning and fun. Through a play based Reggio inspired curriculum, children gain the necessary literacy skills to make them successful in both Spanish and English. At the same time, they build social and emotional skills in working with peers and the maestras. Together these skills help open their minds and language capabilities. Teachers interact with the children to build strong academics and positive social skills.
