MANAGING CHILDREN POSITIVELY

The seven Rs provide an integrated framework for managing


children positively and creating a happy working
environment:
Relationships creating and maintaining a positive
relationship with learners is at the heart of establishing a
happy learning environment.
Rules establish a limited number of rules and make sure
they are clear, as well as the reasons for having them.
Routines classroom routines make it clear to everyone what
is expected of them and what they should do.
Rights and Responsibilities although these may not be
stated explicitly with very young learners, teachers can model
through their own actions which of these they value.
Respect students who are treated respectfully by the
teacher will respond in a similar way to the teacher. If the
children feel that the teacher treats them as individuals, they
will also respond to the teacher as an individual and not with
a collective group mentality.
Rewards reward systems can be an effective way of
reinforcing appropriate behavior e.g. using stars, stickers,
points, smiley faces, raffle tickets or marbles in a jar.
