Louise Porter - Behaviour Management in Children

  http://www.louiseporter.com.au/

After researching behaviour management in childcare centres, <A HREF="http://seds.sturt.flinders.edu.au/lp.htm">Louise Porter</A> concluded that the prevailing reward and punishment approach does not work.

Louise Porter believes it's not in childrens, or parents, interests to overtly attempt to control children's behaviour.

More crimes against humanity have been committed in the name of obedience than in the name of anarchy," she says.

At the same time, she acknowledges parents are often left confused about what their rights are.

The ultimate goal of 'guidance parenting' is for children to learn considerate behaviour.
