​
WAC 170-295-2040  What behavior management and guidance practices must I have in place?​
Children are not born with inner self-controls. They learn behaviors through observing the people in their lives. But they need to learn to manage their feelings and emotions in socially acceptable ways. Child care providers are important role models for young children and are in a position to help them acquire self-regulation skills. Guidance is teaching a child what TO DO instead of focusing on what not to do. Because children learn from their everyday experiences it is important that you respond to their behavior in respectful, developmentally appropriate and emotionally safe ways"

Note: It is never appropriate for adults to lose their temper or control.
You should distinguish discipline or guidance from punishment. GUIDANCE HAS AS ITS GOAL EDUCATING AND REDIRECTING CHILDREN. It emphasizes cooperation. Punishment has as its goal hurting, shaming, or intimidating children. Punishment is an inappropriate form of discipline and has no place in a child care center. 
You must not: 
  • Shame a child
  • Call a child names
  • Shout at a child
  • Ridicule a child in front of a group
  • Allow the group to make fun of a child
  • Put an older child in a playpen, crib, or high chair
  • Make a child wear a dunce cap
  • Make a child put his face against the wall
Inappropriate forms of discipline are a source of stress and anxiety for children. It makes them feel badly about themselves, angry at the caregiver, and afraid of being punished again. There are times when you will be genuinely angry at a child. Whenever you express your anger at what children do, it is important that you make it clear you are angry at the child’s behavior, not the child as a person. Do not let your anger be an excuse to be out of control, abusing the child either physically or verbally. ​
Note: It is never appropriate for adults to lose their temper or control. Caregivers are human and may need to separate themselves from the offending child if they cannot control their own emotions. Understanding children means understanding child development. There are classes available to help you to do so. The more knowledge you have the easier it is to provide the behavioral guidance that children need to grow in a positive way socially and emotionally.
