This article “HAND-OVER-HAND
TECHNIQUE” came across my FB feed this morning. Brought back
memories of all my daycare years. This is the start of my fourth year of “retirement”.
Some days I miss having little ones around with all their fun antics and
chatter but this article reminded me of some not so fun moments. I didn’t have
a lot of discipline problems. I think that was mainly that most of my kids came
to be around the age of two months. They learned what they could do and not do
by the example of the other kids. By the time they were at the age to “act up”
the other kids would help correct them. Also by that point they learned that my
house had a lot of corners. I found that was the best way to get their
attention. But there were times when I did have to use other methods. The
article talks about those methods. Many times I had to do the hand over hand to
“help” a child pick up toys. Or “walk” or
“wash their hands”.
Sometimes their pillow and blanket was the answer.
This article by Kathryn Sneed is right on. She does a nice
job of explaining the HAND-OVER-HAND TECHNIQUE. I think it is a good way to try and handle discipline problems with all
kids.

Take care and have a good day.
