My kids are having a tough time following directions during the fire drill. They are talking, running, touching each other's bodies, and ignoring my directions. What should I do?
You may...
(1) Stop your line. Direct them on what their expectations are. Wait until they are ready and then continue on.
(2) Stop your line and bring them all back to the location where you started. Go over the fire drill expectations. Repeat until they have demonstrated an ability to listen to your directions and conduct themselves as expected.
(3) When the drill is over, as a Director to talk to your group.
A child received a Hayden High Five for sweeping their classroom after snack one day. Ever since, they have swept their classroom each day and have received a few more High Fives, as a result. Should this child continue to receive consecutive High Fives for this action?
No.
While the actions of this child are incredibly helpful, they are limiting themselves on how they can continue to make a positive contribution to the program by only focusing on one thing. The child is knowingly repeating this behavior with the intention of receiving more High Fives. Show appreciation for children who continue to repeat helpful and positive actions, but show them that doing so does not always result in a reward. This encourages them to get creative and find other methods to be helpful and celebrated.
