Use positive language by telling kids what to do instead of what not to do, like ‘walk inside’ instead of ‘don’t run.’ Create visual rules with pictures so children can clearly see the expectations. For challenging situations, remain calm, offer choices, and guide them toward solutions rather than reacting with frustration.

I like turning handwashing into a fun game by singing a short song while we wash our hands.

I like asking kids to act out parts of the story or draw their favorite scene. I also let them describe their drawings or tell what they think happens next. One time, after a story about animals, a child pretended to be a lion and made everyone roar—it got the whole group talking and using new words!

I could have children build with blocks, do puzzles, or create art in small groups. I would also talk with them during play, helping them explain their ideas and listen to others. These activities help kids practice teamwork, communication, and problem-solving while learning from each other.

Sometimes children bite. I make sure the child who was hurt is okay and calmly remind the child who bit that biting is not acceptable. Often, biting happens because children are frustrated or don’t know how to express their feelings. I guide them to use words or other appropriate ways to communicate, and maintaining a calm, engaging environment helps reduce biting incidents.

I agree that providers should specially take caution of the rules of the establishment and the law and there should be a balance of respecting the childs culture and beliefs as much as possible.
