Discipline can be one of most difficult issues for parents and
childcare providers alike. As you know, there are many different
reasons why children behave in challenging ways. There are also
different ways that parents and caregivers deal with these
challenges. Some discipline methods are different from culture
to culture. It is important to be aware of these differences. As
a childcare provider, you not only care for the child, but you
also can help the parents and family. You can also ask for the
parents’ help in understanding their child. You can work
together to teach the child self-control and acceptable
behavior. these pages you will find ideas on how to talk with
parents about guidance and discipline. You will also discover
ways to create a partnership with parents. Remember that quality
childcare depends on a positive relationship among you, the
child, and the child’s parents and family. For more information,
