• To do as I am requested, and not to plead for more time to play etc
• To never use bad language
• To respect others property
• Suggested sanctions/withdrawals of treats

Childminder

• To recognise and respond positively to children appropriate behaviour and give praise and reward for it
• To give five minute warnings that games need to be finished etc
• To listen to the child’s opinions and include them in any planning
• To anticipate potential unacceptable behaviour and redirect towards appropriate behaviour
• To explain to children why particular behaviours are not acceptable, and the consequences of such behaviour should occur
• To provide indirect opportunities, such as through drama and storytelling, to discuss conflict, cause and effect of actions, personal and social problems etc.
• Always take into account the age and stage of the child development when dealing with inappropriate behaviour
• To take children aside from the situation to be told how and why such behaviour is unacceptable
• Each child involved will be given the opportunity to talk about what happened
• The child(ren) will be encourage to decide what other behaviour will be more appropriate and acceptable

In the event of persistent unacceptable behaviour, we shall seek agreement with the parents/carers on the best way to help the child move towards more acceptable behaviour.
