Reject Behavior, Not Children
Nothing hurts a child more than rejection. Unfortunately, some of our most common discipline techniques can leave children feeling unwanted. When children are forced to leave a room, the children often feel rejected. They feel that their parents or teachers don’t want them. It’s important that you don’t leave this impression. Be clear with children that it is their behavior that is undesirable, not them. Help them understand that they are welcome when they can behave appropriately. Avoid using statements like, "You’re bad." There is a world of difference between bad behavior and bad children.
