DISCIPLINE / GUIDANCE SERIES
Discipline/Guidance issues are easier for the child care professional to handle when he/she is feeling calm and in control. When providers are feeling stressed everything seems more difficult. When the environment is conducive to learning, discipline/guidance issues frequently decrease. These informative training programs can help with both staff satisfaction and discipline/guidance challenges.
