I am going to be a preschool teacher and so it is hard to give the children a consequence for their behavior it is more of being consistent. For example one of our rules in preschool is to walk in preschool so if the children end up running in the classroom we say oh walk in preschool and then if they still do it we say, "now we have to practice walking" then we grab their hand direct them back to where they started and then walk to their destination. I know that this strategy will only work for some things. One strategy I was thinking about was doing like a Red, Yellow, Green sheet and if the child is good that day they stay in green. If they are bad they would move to the red. I am thinking about preschool age children since that is what I will be is a preschool teacher so having consequences is hard because the children don't really understand that concept yet. I think letting them see that when they act out they get to red and if they are good and come to all the activities they get to stay in green would help them. The thing that is hard about this is that they still might not understand the concept, but it is worth a try I think.
