*****In certain instances, the first four steps will be skipped; these include destructive actions by the child, violent behavior where someone may be injured, and extreme cases of verbal abuse by a child to another child.
It is very important that you document ALL incidences of bad behavior in the incident record book, as well as on the child’s behavior documentation form and have the parents sign the behavior form. Make sure that you enforce the rules on a regular basis. It is very necessary that I must stress to you the importance of documentation, and consistency of the rules. Make sure to talk to the parents about the incident.
