[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gentle parenting and 123 magic and Time outs are NOT permitted in daycares, centers, any early childcare setting

You gotta let them cry, be angry but not act on it, let them calm by themselves, let them regulate their feelings. Even adults needs a quiet calm space to rest

It's annoying seeing some parents using GP, 123 magic LOL no early educator do that

Childcare resource center advises early educators to not use timeouts, 123 magic

Listen to those who knows about early child development [/quote]

Just read the first and last pages of this thread so maybe this was addressed, but the above statement is not true. My kids' preschool uses 123 Magic and literally handed out the book to all families. And we found with that same consistent framework at home and at school, behaviors improved.

123 as they taught it in a parent meeting is not negotiating, though. It's very clear limits. It just takes the emotion out of the boundary setting and gives kids a warning before the consequence, allowing them to practice regulating.

And time outs in various forms are very common across child centers.[/quote]
