[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is a school-related good behavior management or reward system for a kindergartener?  Obviously we have our own way of managing behavior normally at home (e.g., count to 3, timeouts, and sometimes me losing my sh!t and yelling if I'm being honest) but I'm looking for something that's more appropriate for a school setting that I can use in real time while I manage my child's distance learning.  I want to encourage her to pay attention, stay in her chair,[b] not talk to me,[/b] etc. during her zoom sessions.  What works for you for this age?[/quote]

This is the teacher/HS mom here.

Don't teach her not to talk to you, teach her to mute her mic.  Snuggle up close, let her attend K on your lap if she wants.  Turn off the mic and let her answer every question the teacher asks and tell her how wonderfully smart she is, and then turn on the mic when it's her turn to speak.

Kids learn through language.  And they learn when it's active not passive.  So, let her talk and talk.
