[quote=Anonymous]"Flipping your card", "traffic lights", and "taking down your _______" all work beautifully with 4s and above. However, the consequence shouldn't be negative. When I taught kindergarten, all the kids who made it through the week without having to "flip their cards" got to choose something out of our treasure box. If parents looked, they could see which kids flipped their cards and which didn't. But beyond looking at their own kids' pocket, I don't think they carefully examined the entire chart. Withholding food should absolutely never be used as a discipline strategy. In most states, withholding food as a form of punishment is against daycare licensing regulations. [/quote]
