Show Teacher to Parent Helping your child succeed f) by Betty Condie S President, Utah Education Association Discipline standards Parents can help with school discipline. First, though, understand the school's discipline code. Most districts have a written policy on discipline. It outlines unacceptable behavior and establishes penalties. Ask your child, or the school for a copy. Read it, and let your child know you're reading it! You gain the respect of your child and the school staff when you take an interest in the rules of behavior. Stress the importance of an orderly school environment. The first fundamental of good discipline is setting standards. Don't assume children know what you expect. ex-pect. Tell them. Then apply those standards stan-dards consistently showing concern for the child's self-esteem. The behavior may be unacceptable, but the child is still : a worthwhile, loved human being. Make sure you say that. Painful as it may be for both child and parents, teenagers must accept the consequences of their behavior. They must take responsbility for their own actions. When children have problems, it is tempting to rescue them. But teenagers are becoming adults; they must learn firsthand that we're all accountable ac-countable for our actions. It is also tempting to blame ourselves. Parents often ask, "Where did we go wrong?" A healthier questions ques-tions is, "How can we help our children to go right?" Children must sense that their parents respect them. Even when you "know" your children are wrong, you must listen to them. Sharing feelings and reasons is essential in their well-being as well as to our understanding. If you stop listening, they'll stop talking. Recognize the impact of peer pressure. To many teenagers, their friends' views are more important than their parents' views. Don't downgrade those friends or relinquish your role and become "one of the gang." Children need responsible adults with high standards who care about their welfare. CONGRATULATIONS!
