Preschool

Most of my thoughts on this prompt go back to my knowledge of preschool. I plan on being a preschool teacher and in such classrooms one of the most important things is consistency. Children don't know how to deal with inconsistency, especially at this age. consequences can be difficult at their developmental stage, since they don't really understand yet. One thing I have seen in some class rooms is using a stoplight system where a child can begin in green for being good but then be moved to yellow or even red for bad behavior, but again, at this age it can only be so effective. Guiding the child by example and by word is often the most effective behavior changer and shaper.
