One issue I find with the “child sandwich” is many teachers make statements about it “You’re going to sit next to - because they are quite, well behaved and they’ll teach you better”, this usually leads to bullying and disturbing their own work flow, and it makes that student feel uncomfortable with themself

However, this may be different in KS1/2 but it’s a huge issue in KS3 & 4

Work aside, as a parent of young children, I think these tips are invaluable .

I particularly value the comments about shouting, separating the behaviour

[shirleyemad]

I teach preschool in Egypt and your videos are always very helpful. I would love for you to make more videos on behavior management tips and also time out. Thanks for sharing!

[c.t]

Completely agree with you on time-out, as long as there is a little debrief afterwards to ensure that they have reflected and learnt something from it.

More behaviour management tips would be greatly appreciated. Absolutely brilliant video. Thank you.

[biancagombas]

It’s funny because it is not only a video for teachers but it’s a parenting video also. It’s how I raise my children and I would be so happy to see the same from the teachers too. Thank you for your videos and making me feel I am right. 👍🏻🙃

Can you give examples of how you keep record of student behavior efficiently? I don’t like the charts, either, but struggle to track behavior in a way that does not require a bigger interruption to the lesson.

Little Learners you are doing just great! I love this.

[MissSuesSkillsSuccess]

Great tips!! Consistency is huge.
We have a calm down area which I guess is kind of similar to time out. But yes I agree that sometimes they just need to calm down for a bit and reflect on what happened.

I definitely agree with time out so long as it's done right and in the right situation - I think kids reflecting on their actions is imperative to learning that actions have consequences. I would love to see you do a video on that because I love every one of your videos

'oo' Words | Blending Phonics Phase 3 has comments turned off - excellent video

I love watching you and the useful information you give. Your videos are significantly helpful and most tips work in parenting too! Thank you! (Parent to a 4 year old in Reception)

8:39 "So, if you tell a child they are bad, they will believe that."

Yup, my dictator of a P1 (4-5 yr. old, I'm from Northern Ireland) teacher taught me that.

Question:
What if removing a child makes the child more disruptive because they are trying to communicate with their friend or you wind up sitting a child next to another child whom will start a fight with them because they do not get along together?

My son has issues with hitting and he isn't the best at sharing in the classroom. Would you have any tips on how to deal with these behaviours? Love your videos, they've really helped when my son started school. Thanks so much. X

I remember in primary we had masking taped out squares and that was our space.

I use "take a breather" rather than time out. I find a lot of children have negative connotations with the phrase "time out" and therefore are more resistant to it. Take a breather isn't an option its an instruction if I do site an undesirable behaviour however children may take themselves to the calm area whenever they wish without being asked if they recognise their own emotions rising which is fab for emotional intelligence. If sending a child to take a breather I will use vocabulary such as "oh dear I can see that the book has a tear. Tearing books is not okay. Lets go take a breather and then we can talk about it. I would then give a few minutes before going back and explaining to the child why the behaviour was not okay and talking about what we could do to fix it e.g helping to fix the book with tape.

I guess classroom management depends on a general philosophy you chose for yourself as a teacher. I know many teachers who are huge fans of very extrinsic motivation - everyday a child get a point/sticker etc. and in the end a bigger prize for example. I'm not a fan of that really because I feel like it's not even about the fact that a child will do well only for a sticker but in the end children who are kind in general won't really care after a few weeks, and kids with challenging behaviour will just give up because they never get anything anyway so why care. I think my attitude is close to yours - common sense. Kids love stickers, I also make foam magnets for my class but it's for special and unexpected situations - for something great, for outstanding behaviour but what is more it happens AFTER, never like "If you do this and that well, you will get a sticker!". With time out - as much as I wanted to be a very positive discipline, not stress behaviour management or however it is called, no "punishments" blah blah all what is very fashionable now - again, common sense is important. To me often time out is something that happens in adult life too - if you hit somebody you are separated for a while to think, calm down etc. (adults may go to prison for example haha) - I don't know if that makes sense but yeah, haha. Time out is just a consequence of some behaviour, always with a warning first as you said and being sure that the child knows the rules. You should definitely make a video about this topic! :)
