The Sweet Bottle System
This discipline teaches the children every action has a reaction, not if the action is positive or negative.
- Each child receives a bottle with their photo on it.
- When a child shows good behaviour, the teacher will put a sweet into the child’s bottle, if the child shows poor behaviour the teacher will remove a sweet from the child’s bottle. At the end of the week the teacher will call the child and the amount of sweets left in the bottle, the child gets.
- There will always be a red naughty chair open.
- If the child misbehaves when all his sweets are taken the naughty chair may be used on the guided times.
- If he or she is still misbehaving the teacher will bring him or her to the office and they will do the same time in the naughty chair in the office.
If the child carries on with their bad behaviour, we will call the parents in for a meeting.
