Cooperation Strategies
www.geniekids.com
1 Focus on the problem(not the problem creator)
Reactive strategy
Describe The Problem• “Paint is on the floor”• Your water bootle is feeling left out”
Give Information• “There is another class working here; The
noise is disturbing them” Say it with a word or Non-Verbal
• Shhhhh• “Bottle” or “paper”
www.geniekids.com
2 Focus on the solution – (not the problem)
Pro-active strategy Offer Choices
• “We can either wait here quietly or go back to our class and play”
• You want to write on paper or on the board
Put it in Writing
We ensure NOBODY is physically or emotionally hurt
We take CARE of each other.

3 Choices
www.geniekids.com
was Punishment effective?
Think of an incident when you have used punishment and why you feel
it was justified?
Did the punishment serve the purpose? How?
www.geniekids.com
Is Punishment effective?
Punishment can control behaviour, but by itself it will not teach desirable behaviour or even reduce the desire to misbehave
Punishment shifts the focus from the misbehaviour to the punishment itself. Child learns how to avoid punishment next time, or feel bad about himself or hate the punisher. He does not learn how to behave next time.

Punishment - Last resort
Belief Too few options Come too soon
NO RESORT Then what?
Alternatives to
Punishment
As long as you believe that the problem is out there it will
never get solved
www.geniekids.com
Private Victories Precede public victoriesHumko man ki shakti dena man vijay karen
dusro ki jai se pehla khod ko jai kare
If you are MADDoes that give you a right to be rude
or hurtful to others?
Find Outlets:Stress / Anger / Frustration
DEAL WITH IT

Misbehaviour is just a symptom
Character State (of mind )Deficiency Deficiency
Behaviour depends on STATE of MIND Sometimes
YOUR state
“I want to be a
trouble today”Co-Creator Co-Solver Too
of Problems

Consequences
Natural ConsequencesMum is the word
www.geniekids.com
Consequences
Logical Consequences•Upstate & Prepare•Related•Follow through (consistency)“Do not use logical Consequences as threats”
Shift from TEACH a lesson to LEARN a lesson
www.geniekids.com
Don’t put blocks, Show way
1. Express your Feelingsfollowed by …..
2. State ExpectationsClearly
3. Give Alternatives• Stop Start• Seek Help
Also, Give a chance to amend
If all your problems look like nails to
you, chances
are that all you will use is a
hammer

Problem Solving –for the problem not getting solved !!!
Let us do it together (create the environment with the three next steps).
STEP 1 - Acknowledge child’s feelings and needs (empathy).
STEP 2 - Express your feelings (no lecture). STEP 3 - Work together to find alternatives.
DO NOT evaluate (Writing makes it ten times more effective).
www.geniekids.com
MORE……………
STEP 4 - Together decide which idea is acceptable to both. If no idea come then
• The process of three steps solve the problem.• Or will come back later• Or try any one idea - even if not acceptable by
both.
ONLY if you have decided on a specific ACTION PLAN then ……….
STEP 5 - Final action plan. Be specific (time, follow up etc)
www.geniekids.com
When agreements are broken
LEVEL 1 – Invisible action (eg: call the person next to the student)
LEVEL 2 – Handle the problem (eg: admonish the object of
distraction)
LEVEL 3 - Remind student responsibility (keep it simple,
friendly and eye contact (eg: You are responsible, we can finish
faster if you keep your hands to your work)
LEVEL 4 – Safety Jeopardized - keep it private - but be firm
www.geniekids.com
When a problem occurs
Get centered. Take a breath. Anticipate a
positive outcome
No confrontation – minimum fanfare - no win
- no nailing – get energy off distraction –
focus back on learning
State the facts – leave the judgements
Check the intentions – deal with them fast
Don’t gun for a 100% perfect classroom.
Gun for a student managed classroom

Children will forget what you said;
Children will forget what you did;
But they will not forget how you made them feel.
