It’s that time of year when you’re feeling refreshed (hopefully!), you’ve put the final touches to our classrooms and are getting ready to welcome a new group of children.
This is great I’ve never liked sticker charts they’re unfair and just another piece of pointless paper work to try and keep on top of, half the time if I ask a child why they have a sticker it’s for tidying up! 🙈
I’m definitely more a fan of using words and non verbal forms of communication to motivate and praise 👍
The culture of teaching that I was trained in was all about behaviour charts and stickers. It is really good that we know so much more about self regulation and effective methods to promote it now - we just need to continue to spread the word!
APPLAUSE! APPLAUSE! So refreshing and exciting to read this insightful article that affirms my belief in the long term benefits of supporting children's emotional self-regulation. The positive impact on learning and the mental health benefits are lasting and long term.
