I think that the respectful guidance style is the best. The reason I think that is because teachers who use this guidance style are respecting their students and are also getting respect from them. The teacher and the child get respect, manners, and things tend to work better when this happens. Eventually some of the other guidance styles probably come around depending upon the situation, but respectful should be the one used most often.

Respectful guidance techniques work best because the students work better and harder when they feel respected. It also makes them feel safe and nurtured which is very important.

I agree with you.. Respectful guidance is very important when being around children, because its like your teaching them to be a better child. And when they see us do things, their learning.

I agree! Children and adults perform better when they feel respected. My students range from kindergarten to 5th grade. Kinders bring their art work for me to see. I praise it, and make suggestions on "doing more with it" if possible/needed. My older students do the same and I compliment them on their work and answer questions or ask questions about it. It also makes them feel accomplished when they feel that I value them and their work..

I believe that Respectful guidance works best. It gives both the adults and the children an even playing feel. If the adults are in tune with the need of the children they have a deeper respect for them and the children feel that respect and are more likely to return it. It also give the children to use their learning style instead of only the teachers.

Emily

i have always used the respectful guidance technique, when dealing with not only children but also adults. i think that if you give respect you get respect, and i believe treat others how i watn to be treated.

Kaitlyn

I like the respectful method because you are still guiding kids but your letting them make their own choices and learn the consequences of their actions.

Roman

the respectful method is best since children and really anyone does not thrive and achieve greatness through put downs and threats

Brooke P.

I think that the Respectful guidance is the best one to use because you connect with the children on a better level. The children will be more open and respectful to you if you treat them as an equal. Plus if you treat them as an equal, then they will learn that treating others with the same respect is the right thing to do.

Brett Turner

The Respectful guidance style is obviously the best. The Authoritarian guidance style will stunt the cognitive growth and development of a child and the Permissive guidance style is too lax to be effective.

cindy

6/11/2015 09:47:41 am

I think respectful guidance will be the best way to allow children develop their own skills. It will let them fully develop who they want to be yet learn the right and wrong and follow guidance from adults. Therefore, respectful guidance is the best way to go.

Jessica Enebo

6/12/2015 04:09:19 am

I believe a respectful guidance method is best. This sets the rules and boundaries for kids without being too harsh. Kids are encouraged to do what is right. It is a good balance between authoritarian and permissive.

Ruth W.

6/13/2015 11:07:47 am

Respectful method to me is the most useful guidance structure because it still allows for the adult to be the authority figure but it also gives the child the opportunity to think critically and make decisions on their own. This method provides for the best possible outcome of a child to develop into a strong individual.

Kiera Moore link

6/16/2015 05:55:32 am

I would have to say the respectful technique is the best way to go; simply, because it shows the children their boundaries in a respectful manner.

Caren Hogan link

6/21/2015 11:45:01 pm

I would go with Respectful because you have to be that way toward the children and you also want them to be respectful not only to you but toward all others.

Serena

6/23/2015 01:56:25 pm

I would say the respectful guidance style would be the most effective. It would give the children space to grow and be themselves while still providing the rules and guidelines they'll need in order to be safe and learn boundaries.

Kathryn Mills

6/28/2015 12:14:33 pm

respectful guidance always works best. each child need to be treated individually with respect and concern while still upholding guidelines and boundaries to create a healthy environment in for them to learn, grow and become well adjusted people.

Stacy

The Respectful Guidance style helps both the student and teacher build relationship, grow, and learn. It motivates and encourages students to reach their full potential. Expectations are clear and age appropriate, environment is flexible and conducive to success, and consequences are logical. Clearly the BEST choice for daily classroom success!

Mallery Luke

7/5/2015 10:32:39 am

I believe the respectful guidance style is most effective. This gives neither the child nor adult too much power. When everyone respects one another, it promotes the most learning. Consequences are both positive and negative in regards to behavior. Children feel important, not threatened, and enjoy their time in a classroom, center, etc.

Shawna Calvert

7/8/2015 07:45:18 am

Respectful. The environment is flexible and conducive to creative, constructive and responsible activity.
Rules are simple and clearly stated
Consequences that are logical and realistic are easier for anyone to understand and follow through with.

Delia Farrell

7/10/2015 08:15:17 am

The Respectful guidance helps kids learn in a productive learning environment . The students would be able to learn rules and boundaries in a respectful way and it will help them be functional law abiding adults later on. Respecting one another and having a mutual understanding of others needs is vital in a child's social growth.

Victoria A Weaver

7/16/2015 09:45:08 am

Respectful! This allows to the child to learn by making choices, and accepting consequences for actions. Additionally, it allows both the teacher and student to feel listened to and respected. This allows the teacher to be a better role model for the student to model after!

Jeremy Smith

7/19/2015 12:14:58 pm

I would say the respectful guidance style would be the most effective. I try to use this as often as I can. It is important to let the children make mistakes and learn from them in a environment that shows that we can respectfully learn from the situations.

Saida C.

7/22/2015 08:52:13 am

I believe the Respectful guidance style is the more effective one because it provides structure while still allowing the child have their own opinion. This will help kids become more independent and make their choices between right and wrong, versus doing whats right out of fear or because they are told to.

teraza

I would say respectful, it teaches the children if you want to be treated right, then you have to treat others with respect if you want the same in return.

Teraza

7/25/2015 11:58:10 am

The teacher and the child get respect, manners, and things tend to work better when this happens. Eventually some of the other guidance styles probably come around depending upon the situation, but respectful should be the one used most often.

I believe that "respectful" is the way to go, because school age kids aren't babies. they can have a conversation with you about what they like and don't like. and letting them give you ideas on curriculum is not only beneficial for the teacher because your getting new ideas, but you know that if the kids are giving you the ideas not only are you boosting there confidence by letting them help with activities but you know its going to keep them interested it would work out for everyone.

Taylor thames

Its easy, the kids will do what you allow them to do. If you show them love thats what they will see.

Sherry

8/5/2015 02:03:24 am

The most effective guidance style is respectful. Children like to feel that they have some say in what they do, they to have choices. If you treat them with respect and fairness they will learn to be respectful and fair.

Juliana Davis-Marxer

8/5/2015 06:49:51 am

Respectful Guidance I believe works the best for children. This way respect and discipline is taught because it is set as an example. Children respond much better to respect plus it shows what is expected of them while they are in your care.

Amy Phaysith

8/6/2015 02:49:36 pm

I believe that the respectful guidance is more effective, because you learn from early childhood that you treat others how you want to be treated. Children, including adults both have feelings and want to feel respected and treated fairly as individuals. Lead by example. By walking your talk, you become a person others want to follow. When leaders say one thing, but do another, they erode trust, a critical element of productive leadership.

Mandy Taylor

8/15/2015 12:13:40 pm

I believe that a respectable guidance is more affective
If you respect them they will respect you

Elena

I believe the respectful guidance is the best approach since children work well within structure, but are allowed to make their own choices within that structure and have positive or negative consequences based on their own behavior and choices, ideally with positive reinforcement.

Elise Salmon

8/20/2015 02:07:28 pm

I believe that respectful guidance is best.This gives children the opportunity to make choices while still following certain guidelines. It allows them to have new learning experience and feel a little more independent. I also believe that this is best because it is based off of mutual respect between the child and the child care provider.

Alicia Dickson

8/23/2015 01:52:00 pm

I believe that Respectable Guidance works best, while you want the child to like you you must also want them to respect you. If you show respect then they will learn to respect you.

Claudia

Most Effective (Healthiest for everyone)

RESPECTFUL Guidance is most effective, positive and helpful

its the golden rule: you should treat people the way you would like other people to treat you ( both children and adult)

Children have a voice! there is equality and just more of a balance.

Zachary Scott

8/28/2015 09:56:54 am

The respectful method is best because it is the most effective, is the most balanced and is fair to the child and adult.

Madison

9/5/2015 06:49:01 pm

Respectful Guidance is the most effective for child and teacher.

Not only are children taught how to conduct themselves, but WHY they should conduct themselves in the way they do. Young children have a strong passion for keeping things fair, so they will be able to easily understand that you must give respect to earn respect in a healthy learning environment.

maricella resendez link

9/7/2015 10:36:09 am

Respectful guidance is most effective towards the child's growth and adults care to help guide and provide assistance to the child being responsible for his or hers choices in a positive way. Through respectful guidance the child will learn to respect his/ her own feelings.

Emily

9/12/2015 06:55:15 pm

Obviously the best method is a respectful one. Children develop best in an environment that has rules and guidelines, but allows for interpretation and opinion. Children need encouragement and positivity as well as guidance to reach their potential as successful members of society.

Leah L'Rae Wonders

9/14/2015 11:11:50 am

As a parent myself, I find the respectful guidance style the best in parenting and in every day contact with children. It allows them to grow as individuals, contribute to the growth of others, and it allows them to be the best person they can be without instilling too much or too little on them for their age range. With this guidance style it gives room for the child to make their own decisions without any harmful repercussions while still having that adult to care and look over them to make sure the decisions are sound and helping them grow into a wonderful person. This style of guidance definitely leads to a strong personality and will allow them to grow into an exceptional adult where they understand the different aspects of life such as reality, optimism, stressors, etc.

Robert Lee

9/17/2015 11:25:50 am

Respectful because it allows kids to be motivated to be all they can be. It also can be used to punish kids, but in a way that allows the child to understand why they are being punished and what they could have done instead.

Michael Eng

9/21/2015 12:11:27 pm

Respectful. It's the best of both worlds. Perfect balance right in the middle.

Andre Graham

9/22/2015 01:07:55 pm

Respectful guidance is definitely the best method! It allows one to encourage and discipline children in a way that will promote positive behavior. It enables staff and parents of the youth to provide the child with choices and consequences in which they are ultimately in control of.

Olivia Margoshes

9/22/2015 06:10:36 pm

Respectful Guidance is best because children are held accountable for their actions and decisions while being given the freedom to pave their own way. They do not have complete free reign of their environments, but are gently guided to make positive decisions.

Elizabeth T Mason

9/23/2015 01:24:52 pm

Respectful guidelines are the best way because they are accountable and responsible for their own actions.

Dillon Kramer

9/24/2015 07:38:16 pm

The respectful method is the best way, although I personally struggle with that method. it is the best way because it helps the children respect you as a staff they feel respected and that their concerns or thoughts are being taken into consideration. it is really tough to consistantly use this method. it is not likely that every child in a program is going to listen, or sometimes they just dont respond well with this method and you need to try a different way. By no means should we "control" a child and force them to do something they want to do, but keep encouraging them to do the right thing or switch/tweak the activity to adapt it to something they enjoy.

Danielle Cruz

9/25/2015 11:49:28 am

I believe in using the respectful style. It is the most comfortable for me because it most closely aligns with my personal value system. I also feel this method has the best long term outcomes for children. We are always modeling behavior with children and this is the behavior I would most like children to emulate.

Amanda Phillips

10/1/2015 01:25:27 pm

The respectful guidance style is what I mostly use. The kids need rules and guidance, but they also need to make some of their own choices and feel accepted, wanted, and loved. That is the best way they will learn to grow.

Katie Cook

10/6/2015 10:44:01 am

I would have to say Respectful one also. It does give the children choices to make on their own. They learn from mistakes if they do something wrong and they know their is consequences.

anitha

10/10/2015 07:34:42 pm

Respectful guidance style is the best way to both the children and teacher to build relationship.If we treat them as equal, they will also learn that they should treat others with the same respect.It is also helpful for them to develop their own skills and make their choices between right and wrong.

Amanda

10/15/2015 11:42:37 am

Respectful guidance style is more effective because it allows both the student and the teacher build a good bond with each other. By being respectful, as a teacher, you are displaying good characteristics to the children. The children can learn and also make their own choices they believe are respectful. If a teacher isn't being respectful, children won't feel the need to be either.

Meghan

10/16/2015 01:01:22 pm

The respectful guidance technique is definitely the most effective because it molds the child's choices and behaviors in a positive way for a long term benefit. The key there is long term- as threats/brides, fear, etc could be seen as effective in the short term-in the moment-and the child does not retain the deeper meaning of what is right or wrong. You want to be a role model - respectful guidance ensures a positive role model as a teacher while the others could be seen as negative role models--that may even turn the child down a negative path for the long term like becoming a bully because they learned from a bully type teacher rather than from respect.

Robyn Perry

10/17/2015 11:17:36 am

Respectful - this is best because it is of good balance.

Kiara McCollum

10/18/2015 05:29:19 pm

The respectful style is the most effective because when the child is respected as well as the teacher, there is a better understanding as well as better teaching and communicating. Overall it balances out everything we'll with everyone being respected.

Rachel Berry

10/20/2015 11:54:59 am

I think that Respectful Guidance should be most followed by teachers. This method seems to give a scaffolding support for the children. However, I do see a time and place to use parts of the other styles. The statement "Rules must be strictly followed", from the Authoritarian Guidance can indeed be good protocol. Consistence with all things gives aid to the children finding their own self discipline.

Maria Loredo

10/24/2015 08:23:47 pm

I strongly believe the respectful guidance method is most effective when working with children. Using this method can help establish a healthy respectful bond between teacher and child and help them understand to treat others how you want to be treated. children often time mimic adult behavior so setting example of respectful behavior as their teacher is essential.

Dassah Ortiz

10/30/2015 09:37:38 pm

I believe that the respectful method is the most effective. It is important to maintain a balance where you can have fun with the kids but also have authority in the classroom.

Lorena martinez soto

11/6/2015 10:13:00 am

Respectful would be the most important to me because if we show respect to others we receive that same respect. Also it helps us to be heard and understood better and clearly.
It helps us to have a better atmosphere of acceptance.

Kayla

11/10/2015 01:45:56 pm

I believe respectful guidence is very effective of course, but i fell you need a little bit of every thing to have a well rounded view. Not all children are going to react the same and not all childrena re going respond the same, some will need more and some will need less. Being authoritative is very mportant at the beinging to set standards and to teach boundries. when respect is given on both ends then it is easier for both sides to have open communication.

Natalie Rap

11/10/2015 07:45:53 pm

I believe that the respectful guidance is the best choice. You need an environment where there are set rules, but still allows the child to have their own reasoning and expression. I think that with this style of guidance, child and teacher can form a closer, yet respectful bond. The child knows that the teacher is there for them, but will enforce consequences when the rules are broken.

Samantha

11/15/2015 01:55:28 pm

I believe respectful guidance is the most effective method because it is a careful balance between authoritarian and permissive. Children thrive when their natural autonomy is respected and they learn the consequences for their behavior, both good and bad.

Benjamin

11/17/2015 11:07:57 am

Respectful guidance works the best, because it allows students to have a developmentally appropriate level of autonomy, yet within guidance and an understanding that rules will be followed for everyone's safety and respect.

Deana

11/21/2015 05:28:14 pm

The Respectful guidance structure works best and is what I would expect my own child to receive in a program and I always put myself in the parent shoes and see my students as how my own children should be treated. It's important to remember that some of the kids are receiving a different type of guidance structure at home and will need time to adapt to a healthy model of achievement. And teachers would benefit from recognizing if their own style has become reflective of the lesser positive ways to guide children and seek resources to benefit them and the students.

McKenzie Conner

11/22/2015 11:45:03 am

I agree with the previous posts; Respectful is the idea teaching style. This allows children a collaboration between themselves and adults and they feel safe and cared for but not smothered. We need to treat children the way we want them to treat us

Amber Fitzgerald

11/28/2015 01:27:09 pm

Respectful guidance is the most effective. When children are respected by you they are more willing to respect you and the rules. If there is mutual respect then it creates a more willing learning environment. Children will want to know that even though there are rules, they are allowed to have an opinion and they can have more than one choice.

Dylan

11/28/2015 03:53:06 pm

I think the respectful guidance is the most effective because when I was growing up the best teachers in my opinion were the ones that showed you respect. and when I was growing up I was taught that you treat people with respect. and they will show you respect as well.

Breaunah Jacobs

12/6/2015 02:48:11 pm

I believe that the respectful guidance is best because most importantly, it gives children some responsibility and power. Without giving children responsibility and power there can be a lack of interest and attention to the rules. By listening to the children, the children are more likely to listen to the adults/teachers because they feel respected. This style of guidance gives both sides what they need, not just the adults.

Mary Squiers

12/7/2015 09:19:00 am

I think the Respectful guidance approach is the most powerful. The Authoritative approach is too strict and stifles growth and creativity. The Permissive approach is too open - children still need guidance. With the Respectful approach, children learn early the importance of communication. It creates a safe, open environment where children are free to grow, while developing important life skills.

Patricia

12/7/2015 01:04:08 pm

Teaching children the respectful approach is what I think is the best way, You encourage positive behavior in a loving supportive learning environment.

Precious H

12/7/2015 10:35:52 pm

I feel respectful guidance is the appropriate method/teaching skill. For me it's this simple: As an adult which would I best respond too. If I am helping a child develop into an adult then I want to teach them what we want as adults and humans. I don't want to be controlled, and I also want someone who cares enough to tell me when I'm doing the wrong things and communicate and guide me to do the right.

Audrey

12/8/2015 09:32:00 am

I have experienced the benefits of being respectful - if I go in too strong, they rebel. If I go i too soft, they eat me up. A safe environment (emotional, social, academic) is based on the adult being lovingly in charge.

Gisella Santiago-Gronka

12/8/2015 06:15:24 pm

For me, I prefer the Respectful method. It's what I use at home with my kids and my everyday life. Treating others the way you'd like to be treated is so much more conducive to success than the other options. You gain respect, create connections with the kids and you have a classroom that feels safe knowing it's ok to make mistakes because it's one of the many ways we learn and grow.

Shelby kesterke

12/10/2015 02:19:02 pm

I would say the respectful method is most effective. Children need to know that there are rules to be followed, but they should not be afraid of those rules. They need to know that the environment they are in is safe and that they can be themselves wherever they may be. I want students to be able to make their own choices and be able to communicate to me how they are feeling. Teachers need to show good examples of what they expect the students to do. If a teacher is not being respectful of students then the students will not want to be respectful of the teacher or adult in the room.

Desiree Price

12/10/2015 09:45:47 pm

I believe the Respectful environment is the most useful. Respecting children as individuals allows them to feel more independent and that they have choices. When children feel respected, they feel safer and are more likely to follow rules to follow accepted behavior and respect the adults around them because they formed a close connection, not out of fear.

Rachel Davenport

12/12/2015 01:24:29 pm

Respectful Guidance is the most effective because it treats the child as an individual with feelings, emotions, and ideas, but still allows for leadership and discipline on the part of the adult.

Stacy

12/14/2015 04:40:07 pm

Respectful method. It allows adults to give useful guidance, but still lets children make decisions and give them the opportunity to think critically.

Anamaria Varela

12/15/2015 12:28:16 am

respectful guidance is what has worked for me. cause gives and even playing field by making the child learn to treat others how you would like to be treated.

Estefania

12/16/2015 07:28:04 pm

Respectful guidance

Emely

12/17/2015 01:49:37 am

I would say Respect, simply because if you respect all your students, you wil get that respect back. As well as teaching your students to respect one another, they can learn to not only respect the kids in their class room but people outside of school including parents.

Rebecca Pedersen

12/27/2015 02:43:05 pm

There's not a lot of debate with respectful being the best technique given the possible outcomes of each guidence style. It provides structure for the child but doesn't eliminate creativity, choices, and the ability to be comfortable in an environment.

Katrina

12/28/2015 12:18:30 pm

Being respectful of children as growing human beings rather than solely as children to do what adults say is the most effective. Children need boundaries and guidelines within which to work and grow, and they need to be given the space to make mistakes within those boundaries as they do so.

James Over

12/29/2015 04:50:06 pm

The respectful guidance style would be the most effective, speaking from experience. But different kids require different approaches from time to time to learn from their mistakes. Being respectful usually always sets a calm atmosphere which drastically can expand the optimization for the amount learned for the child.

Lindsay Lyon

12/30/2015 02:29:29 pm

Respectful guidance styles are best for working with children. As adults, we all want to be respected and should expect the same of children. Respect allows each party to work together instead of one completely dominating the other.

Laura

12/30/2015 09:12:19 pm

Relating to children in the Respectful method is best. It empowers the child while setting clear, secure boundaries.

Cecilia

12/31/2015 12:48:14 pm

The Respectful guidance style is the most successful because it combines positive interaction but also discipline and consequences. Adults and children build a relationship based on respect; children respect adults and rules designed for their safety and adults respect the needs and emotions of children.

Andrea

1/3/2016 04:40:24 pm

the respectful guidance style is the most successful because children have the right to there opinions and feel respected when the staff believes that there is no wrong or right answer because each child interacts and responses differently and have completely different u understandings.

rebecca arnold

1/6/2016 12:53:18 pm

i feel respectful guidance lets devope their skills. It lets them learn from their choices the good and bad and lets the child and adult both talk about their choices not just the adult way

James

1/13/2016 06:43:47 am

I would consider the Respectful style to be more effective because it sets the guidelines of structure as well giving kids the ability to give their own opinion and make their own choices.

Justyna Galaz

1/15/2016 08:38:34 am

I believe Respectful Guidance is the best. They have to abide by the rules and yet they still have fun.

DAvid

1/18/2016 12:39:27 pm

I've always followed the respect method because I have always been a strong advocate of you give respect to get respect. Teach the kids that as they grow up although you may not agree with some things, you can at least respect it.

cynthia smith

1/19/2016 02:39:43 pm

Definately the respectful guidance. It is so helpful to use this method in the classroom and on the playground. Not to mention at home. Children like to be able to make their own choices but a bit of adult intervention once in awhile can go along way in their respect for you as a teacher.

Mischelle Johnson

1/20/2016 04:31:40 pm

Respectful guidance is clearly the best for children to be able to learn and grow. They have choices, and are comfortable with their peers and their learning environment.

Micaela Carroll

1/20/2016 05:31:32 pm

The respectful guidance is the one that I would think is best for children to learn and grow. Not only are you showing respect, but when you show respect you also get respect in return.

Sybil

1/22/2016 09:27:59 am

Respectful! To ask children to consider how their actions impact others and themselves can be a stretch (emotionally, socially) at times, but certainly not too much to ask for. This is a high form of ethics, rather than a fear-based environment of punishment/reward... which we seem to be feeling a lot of negative effects of in our larger world (prison system, anyone?)

Elizabeth Salyers

1/23/2016 10:56:24 am

Respectful is the best option. This allows you to set rules and expectations but also allow the child to explore, grow and learn.

jennifer massengale

1/23/2016 05:06:34 pm

respectful guidance is the only way to go. there is respect given back and forth. Trying to scare children into doing something is wrong just as letting them do whatever is wrong they need boundries and guidelines to help them make the right decisions

Respectful guidance is clearly the best the choice! We want children to be all they can be, and guide them through this with patience, understanding, and respect. They will learn more, they will learn faster, if they are allowed to think things through, and make their own choices. By showing them respect, they learn to not only respect the adults in their life, but themselves as well.

The respectful guidence style is the correct choice. Laying down a set of rules & giving kids an explination for these rules instead of just enforcing them teaches kids reasoning behind rules. This helps chilren gain a stronger sense of right & wrong while also making them aware of inportant rules.

Annika

1/26/2016 08:39:26 pm

Respectful guidance is the best choice because kids need to feel loved, cared for, but also discipline. This helps kids be all they can be! Adults should not ask for respect if they are not willing to give it. It treats the kids as individuals while providing direction and guidance.

Carly

1/28/2016 10:43:16 am

Respectful guidance is the most effective style because mutual respect is important in order to create a comfortable learning environment. It is important to have a set of rules but it is also effective to have a discussion about the purpose of the rules. Respectful guidance allows for the most positive growth.

Respectful is the way to go. The most efficient way in my opinion to get through to kids. To make sure your operating on mutual respect and self awareness.

Molly B

Respectful, it is more personable. It is not being walked all over, but it is also not overruling the child's decisions. it is kind and caring and has great relationships with the children.

Sara link

2/3/2016 10:12:06 am

Respectful guidance because it allows both child and adult to cooperate with one another. Adults need to understand and respect a child's ways and needs, so does the child. Both groups need to respect each other's ways.

Sarah Still

2/5/2016 12:01:37 pm

Respectful guidance is the most effective by far. This is because children (and adults) learn best through positive reinforcement. When children feel loved, accepted and appreciated even when they are being corrected or punished for bad behavior children will have a greater desire to do better because it is the right thing to do and they will feel better about themselves for it.

Michael Chapman

2/5/2016 01:10:16 pm

I think the most effective guidance style is respectful, Because it has a structure of rules and guidelines that children should follow but also leaves room for the children to express themselves and learn from their own mistakes and this style creates the closest relationship with the kids without losing their respect for their elders.

Alissa Wallace

2/7/2016 12:47:25 pm

I believe the respectful method is best. It allows children to feel independent and be accountable for their choices, but it allows program teachers to provide safe learning environments. This style allows children to grow and learn more about respect, responsibility, honesty and caring.

Holly

2/7/2016 04:23:17 pm

The respectful style because it allows children to grow up with a sense of autonomy and self-reliance because they are confident in their abilities and have developed, ideally, growth mindset. They know they have support when they need it, but they have the freedom to take risks and grow from authentic feedback of success or failure.

kimme johnosn

2/7/2016 05:23:54 pm

I believe that Respectful guidance works best. It allows both the adults and children opportunities to make decisions. It provides a more empathetic and safe environment. It provides an environment that the child's learning style can be accommodated and it provides respect for both the adult and the child.

Stephanie

2/8/2016 03:41:20 pm

I feel the Respectful style is the most effective. It allows children to learn independence but experience structure. It can be flexible and sets expectations that are simple and easy for children to understand. I feel it is also effective because it allows children to make mistakes and learn from their experiences.

PRIYANKA KUMARI

Respectful is the best to respect one another.

Kammi

2/15/2016 07:07:44 pm

I think that the respectful guidance style is the best. School age children are driven if they feel respected. Although, I think emphasizing respect as a two-way street is key. I don't think any one specific style is or can be used 100% of the time as all circumstances are different and children respond differently. Figuring out what works best for everyone while remaining positive and respectful is best in my opinion.

Brandi

2/18/2016 09:56:57 am

Respectful guidance is the most affective. When you respect a child they will respect you. When you give a child a nurturing environment, they trust you, then know they can rely on you and they also learn to use compassion and respect as well.

Katharina Gees

2/20/2016 01:30:17 pm

I think that the respectful style is the best because it provides balance between "lax and strict" which allows children and professionals to make the right choice in the moment for the best outcome. Working with children between the ages of 5-12, you need to create a style that will encourage a continued response from the child in order to help in the growth and development of the child.

Katharina Gees

Henry Moen

2/21/2016 12:20:09 pm

I'm going to go out on a limb here and go with respectful guidance being the best. As a caretaker one needs to be both authoritarian and permissive in the proper amounts and the respectful approach seems to be the correct blend.

Andrew

2/25/2016 05:38:11 pm

Respectful is the most effective method. It's better because it teaches kids to be accountable, emotionally and socially mature, and overall happier. With this method they can mature as persons -- that is, with a developed and properly integrated sense of their own freedom.

Melissa Keyser

2/26/2016 09:06:48 pm

I think the respectful is the most effect method for students. This helps them have an understanding of what they are doing and why they are doing it. It gives them an active role in their development by helping them understand why their actions are important.

Morgan m.

2/27/2016 10:16:54 pm

respectful guidance because it allows for choice and expression while still holding guidelines and boundaries. allowing for respect to be shown and opinions to be acknowledged.

Nohelani Quigtar

2/28/2016 10:06:00 pm

I believe Respectful Guidance is the most effective because it allows children to have a voice but still withholds boundaries. With this method they can reflect, learn, and grow and have an understanding of what is right and what is wrong.

Jessica

2/29/2016 12:44:42 pm

Respect is the style I would want to have with kids. They need to know the rules and to follow them. Along with following the rules they need opportunities to have a voice and choice in activities. They should also have the opportunity to help create rules for themselves and others.

Katie

3/1/2016 06:06:55 pm

I believe the respectful guidance style is more effective because it is teaching the children to respect and obey adults and boundaries while encouraging them to express themselves appropriately and become successful members of society.

Tabitha

3/2/2016 04:16:18 pm

I would think Respectful, that way youth know that rules are set and they fill that they are apart of making them. helps with a better understanding of what is asked of them.

Nicole Littleton

3/7/2016 10:46:39 am

I think the "Respect guidance style" would be most effective because it is positive, and students learn how to accept their feelings and control their behavior as opposed to having their actions be influenced by others.

Mischelle Johnson

3/8/2016 09:34:21 am

Respectful guidance clearly seems most effective and sustainable in a classroom. All needs are being met, there is clear guidelines and choices available for the children, as well as the teacher has full control of a well behaved classroom. The respectful guidance seems like a wonderful balance for both the teacher and the students.

Mariah

3/8/2016 07:47:40 pm

Respectful guidance is the most effective because it allowed there to be respect between the staff members and children, but the children are able to make their own decisions.

Nathan Johnson

3/10/2016 11:25:36 am

Respectful obviously, there's a harmony between the kids and the teachers, the program isn't run by either one but by both of them being respectful of each other.

Brittany Nielsen

3/10/2016 01:44:25 pm

The respectful method is the best to use because in modeling this behavior yourself, you show your students that you have to show respect to earn it and to treat others how you want to be treated. It also teaches them that positive behavior (and dealing with problems in the correct manner) will get them further in any situation than negative behavior.

Daniel Allen

3/11/2016 12:26:10 pm

Definitely the Respectful style of guidance. I tend to be permissive but am learning how to balance that out for the benefit of the kids.

Audrey MEZIL

3/14/2016 04:10:43 pm

I think respectful method is the most useful guidance structure. The adult is still the authority figure but this type of guidance gives the child the opportunity to think critically and make decisions on their own. The child feels surrounded, respected and loved. He knows there are rules, but he is not afraid to fail, or to ask questions, he can learn and grow in a serene atmosphere to become, later, an adult strong, responsible, satisfied and inserted into our society.

Jaclyn Tabone

3/15/2016 11:20:04 am

Respectful because it allows for guidance without overpowering the children and their decisions

Linda Mae Kristofik

3/15/2016 04:09:15 pm

Respectful - Children need good healthy modeling of behavior in order to develop their own. Realistic, supportive boundaries provide them a safe environment to test and learn healthy behaviors. Having high expectations shows them that you believe in their talents and skills. it gives them a safe environment to learn and grow.

Brianna

3/17/2016 08:14:11 am

Respectful- Children tend to respect you if you respect them. There needs to be an understanding of rules and behavior, but it needs to be given with grace and love. If you show them they have value, they tend to be respectful.

Aimee

3/18/2016 02:53:38 pm

I think respectful guidance is the most effective. It teaches kids that actions have consequences (good or bad) but they still have some freedom. I think that respectful guidance takes the best from authoritarian and permissive and combines them.

Drew

3/19/2016 04:34:59 pm

I believe the Respectful Guidance is the most effective because it is based on mutual respect and is conducive to responsible and constructive activity in a fun, happy manner. It allows children to control their own behavior and grow in a manner that follows appropriate rules.

RAFFAELA GENZALE

4/6/2016 09:57:49 am

Respectful Guidance. The children learn that there are choices and consequences for their choices, but they are free to make their choice. Later in life they will be able to accept the rules placed in front of them and know to make a choice... and learn from those choices.

Katrina

4/11/2016 02:04:26 pm

There is a time and place for all three guidance styles, However, I believe respectful guidance should be a predominant trait of the classroom culture. I like to let my children set their own learning goals and reflect on their progress. I find giving them ownership of their learning promotes self-control, teaches them to take responsibility for their actions, and helps them make thoughtful choices about how they treat themselves and others. I have also found that understanding and respecting different learning styles can help classroom management and individual progress.

Anne Standing

4/19/2016 08:30:59 am

When I started my job children appeared to be fearful and felt as though their opinion did not count for anything. I learned shortly after why. They were ordered to do things and never given the opportunity to make a choice or given a second chance to make it right. That is why I choose to be respectful because choices and opportunity to redo or re-think their decision, otherwise they don't learn anything.

gabrielle

4/19/2016 03:35:26 pm

I believe the respectful approach works the best. Children do not want to respond to someone who is not allowing them ANY freedom. I believe in letting children make their choices after telling them what the rules are . I find that being firm but loving gets a great response.

Kristina

4/28/2016 11:54:22 am

Emily DuBois

5/2/2016 11:45:31 am

I believe the respectful teaching style is the most beneficial. If you clamp down too hard on a children's decisions and way of being brought up, later in life they will rebel. However if you don't allow them any rules they won't learn good work ethic or respect for others above them. Learning to find a good balance between the two will teach the children how to make good decisions without having to be punished for being disrespectful or rebelling.

Kari link

5/5/2016 10:24:47 am

I believe respectful is most productive because children must feel like they are the ones making the choice, however parents / providers should be sneaky and give them only acceptable options. So in the end it appears both parties are getting what they want

Myell Mergaert

5/19/2016 10:51:21 pm

I think the respectful style is best because it allows for growth of the student but also growth of the educator. You both are invested in the learning!

Olivia

5/25/2016 12:36:22 am

Being respectful is the best route. Children want to feel valued and nothing less than whom they are talking to.

Christopher Williams

The Respectful Guidance Style is the most effective style because it promotes healthy development in children as they grow into young adults. The Respectful Guidance Style promotes creativity and individuality while building a sense of responsibility within children.

Maddi

I think the respectful guidance style would be the most effective because it follows the phrase "if you want to earn respect you must first give respect." By respecting students, healthy relationships will be built, and they will grow both academically and emotionally, learning responsibility and compassion.

venise williams

6/8/2016 04:05:54 am

Respectful is the best because it creates the proper environment for learning. It does not encourage chaos, fear and basing decisions off if emotions. Instead it is based off of expectations and acceptance.

Sashia Ramirez-Trujillo

In my opinion Respectful guidance works best because this one allows children to develop their own skills creating healthy relationships, respecting others ideas and making them feel important when they make good choices. it is not freedom, it's listening their opinion and guiding them for the right way.

Katie

6/14/2016 01:05:03 pm

Respectful guidance is the most effective because it creates trust between a student and a care taker, and allows the student to have room for error and correction.

Manolita

6/21/2016 07:09:22 pm

Respectful guidance is the most effective, positive, and helpful style. The children learn best in a calm, cooperative, and free environment. Respectful environment provides these climate. When children's ideas and opinion are heard, i.e., respected they get engaged in learning. Children needs guidance from adults and the best way is for adults to demonstrate respect. Respectful guidance adheres to democratic ideals.

Mia Naficy

6/22/2016 02:54:18 am

Without a doubt, 'respectful guidance' is the most effective and worthy style when it comes to mentoring and teaching children. As with most things in life, moderation, give/take and 'happy mediums' are very important in how you deal with children. There should be consequences so children can learn cause and effect and understand why they should or should not behave in certain ways. However, children need to explore and understand for themselves. Kindness, empathy and compassion are just as important as structure, expectations and mutual respect. With a balance of both sides of the spectrum, children can learn to be respectful, self-appreciating, level-headed adults.

Carly Froneberger

6/28/2016 08:18:42 pm

I think the most effective guideline style is the respectful guideline because it teaches children boundaries and create a positive environment.

Laura

7/4/2016 10:14:23 am

I believe respectful guidance is the best way to teach children that their feelings and opinions matter. While having expectations for them as the adult but also letting them have a voice. It's something that if as adults we constantly show kids will mirror. Everyone feels respected and heard.

Yarely

7/5/2016 01:17:38 am

Respectful. You want to teach children the right way but also listen to what they have to say. Letting them know you are the adult so they know there are rules that need to be followed.

Jeremy Tagliaferre

7/12/2016 06:48:20 pm

The Respectful Method!

I like this one even though it can often be the hardest to set up. But once everyone understands that they need to respect each other, the class can do amazing things. If everyone is thinking for themselves and thinking about how they can help each other out, the teacher can be more spontaneous in how activities take shape. One great example happened today in my program. When figuring out how to divide up snacks to people who wanted seconds, we had a group discussion that ended with a solution that made everyone happy. I like to think that they learned my way is not the ultimate law, but that they can talk things out themselves and come up with solutions as long as everyone is acting respectfully.

Emily Enright

7/12/2016 09:08:04 pm

I think respectful guidance is the most effective method, because you are setting ground rules that require children to respect you, themselves, parents, and other students, while also letting them be who they are, and make choices that help them grow and develop in a positive direction. This allows the child to free themselves of the idea of "doing something wrong," and learn to achieve things in a way they are most comfortable with. When children feel like they are heard and respected, they respond positively to adults and other kids.

Judith

7/24/2016 12:41:52 pm

I would have to say respectful is more effective because you are giving the children rules but you are giving them the choice whether or not to follow the rules. If they end up breaking any rules, there will be reasonable consequences. It also shows that there is a same level of respect for both the teacher and the child.

Edith Stillwell

7/25/2016 09:11:32 am

Respectful is always the right way. Children as well as adults respond in a "positive" way when they feel valued, respected, needed and feel accomplished. As care givers, we need to help children feel valued, needed, safe, happy, accomplished and respected. They, in turn, do the same for others.

Anne

7/30/2016 02:09:33 pm

My child care program follows the "Respectful" guidance style. We try our best to empower the child and make the program what they want it to be. We do have rules that do need to be followed and if they break the rules we do have consequences, but we always turn everything into a positive learning experience. We believe it is important to motivate the children and give them the confidence they need to be the person that they want to be. We understand that every child is different, so we try and teach them all to the best of their own abilities individually.

Nirmala Samudrala

8/16/2016 11:58:14 pm

Respectful guidance style is more effective because children are given opportunity to learn things in atmosphere of acceptance helping them to learn from their own experiences

Konstantin Yatsuk

8/20/2016 04:47:24 pm

The respectful one works best in my opinion. Even in adult life, if someone doesn't respect you, you are less inclined to do what he/she is asking you to do, and you are less inclined to interact with that person later in life. With respectful guidance the child will trust you more which will allow for a more personal connection which will, in turn, lead to better development.

Miesha

8/22/2016 03:07:16 pm

I think that respectful works the best because it is not overly strict and allows the child to make mistakes without being fearful of the parent it is also just strict enough so that the child does not walk over or manipulate the parent.

Margaret

8/22/2016 03:23:58 pm

Respectful guidance style is the most effective. This requires age realistic expectations and simple rules that are followed by both the children and the caregivers. Consistent, fair consequences will reinforce their ability to understand responsibility of their actions and decisions.

Leslie

8/27/2016 11:18:41 pm

Using the respectful guidance style is the effective and preferred choice. It allows children to have flexibility in conducting their own trials and errors. They learn to decipher what is right and wrong, and what should be rewarded or lead to consequences they realistically accept. This style provides the most guidance through a mutual, respectful manner between a child and the child care professional. We should be consistent with our methods, be nurturing, supportive, and respectful as we help guide children to behave properly and learn how to cope with their actions.

Alexander

8/28/2016 05:40:08 pm

I believe that, as with all things, the respectful approach is best. Children, although younger than their caregivers, are still people and deserve respect, fairness, and the freedom to make their own choices.

Yarely

8/29/2016 07:54:41 pm

Respectful. I believe when you give a child respect they give it right back.

Angela Brun

8/30/2016 01:50:03 pm

Respectful. A child should learn how to be respectful and learn give and take techniques. But also, the adult should be aware of age appropriate techniques on discipline and that there are real outcomes both good and bad as the child develops and grows up. Those outcomes directly come from how the child is disciplined and spoken to.

Amber

9/2/2016 01:37:30 pm

Respective guidance is the most effective. As one of our core values, respect allows everyone to voice their opinions and concerns, without fear of being ridiculed. Clear boundaries and rules are set along with expectations.

Katarina Allen

9/3/2016 06:33:41 pm

Of course it's number 3: Respectful. This has the best of the first 2 ways. This allows the teacher to have control but also allows the kids to have some control over their experiences. It brings a sense of fairness.

McCanna

9/4/2016 12:11:06 pm

I agree with the respectful guidance style. It has a feel of fairness, where the teacher or caregiver can have some control but the child still gets to be a child. Thus allowing them to grown in a healthy environment.

Kate Taylor

9/4/2016 05:52:02 pm

Respectful Guidance! It's a happy medium that creates an environment that allows the children to learn and grow without fear of humiliation and un acceptance but still provides enough structure to teach them the difference between right and wrong.

Alicia

9/8/2016 02:42:15 pm

I believe the Respectful Guidance technique is the most effective. It provides a balance. The kids get to help develop rules and consequences so that it's not all on you. They know what's expected because they are the ones who helped create the rules and consequences. It's a way that allows you to still have control but doesn't make the child feel controlled and overpowered.

Lacie

9/8/2016 06:50:44 pm

Respectful guidance! You get in the child's level. You hear them out and let them know what choices they are making. They will respect that way more over someone yelling constantly and not letting them speak about what is going on.

Gnanamani Hooyman

9/10/2016 02:27:06 pm

Respectful guidance is the best way to go. I think this because if I am to put myself in a child perspective, I believe I am more likely as the child want to communicate and open up about situations to an adult who is giving me the respect and the appropriate communication level to me then from someone yelling and looking down on me.

Brittany Lealao

9/11/2016 01:38:26 pm

The respectful guidance style is most effective because there is a balance between authority while the child is able to feel safe to relay questions, comments or concerns. By showing respect to the children it shows them that no matter the age of a person everyone is treated with respect. They are able to be more responsive to direction.

Alissa Gutierrez

9/12/2016 08:52:32 pm

Which of the three guidance styles would you consider more effective and why?
The respectful guidance style is the most effective because it is the right combination of motivation and discipline. It shows respect, displays positivity, all while directing the children down the right path.

Quincy Henry

9/16/2016 02:29:59 pm

It is my belief that the respectful guidance style is the most effective, especially given the age group of children that I currently work with. It is important for the teacher to allow children to make choices all the while teaching the importance of following rules. With this style both parties receive respect and that is important when forming a bond with one another. The respectful guidance style creates a level of balance, making it easier for children to follow rules and while maintaining a sense of themselves.

Chloe

9/17/2016 01:46:20 pm

I think that the respectful guidance style is the most effective. I believe that style not only recognizes that kids are kids (and thus still developing), but it also gives the kids room to grow into thinking, compassionate adults. This style, I believe, lets the kids expand and test limits while still providing a structure in which they can do so safely.
The authoritarian style would teach the kids to not ask questions or explore their curiosity or even express their opinions, while the permissive style doesn't provide the structure that kids need to be able to function in every day life. I could easily see how kids who are raised in the permissive style to not understand consequences of their actions or to respect rules/authority figures.

Kate Sheldon

9/24/2016 08:44:57 am

I believe respectful guidance is most effective. It best caters to the needs of children. Recognizing that they are still growing and learning but providing the skills and environment to do that safely.

Sarah

9/24/2016 11:22:53 am

The respectful guidance style is the best choice. It provides clear and consistent expectations of both the children and the caregivers, creates a healthy learning environment with realistic boundaries, and allows room for both fun and discipline.

Lexi

9/29/2016 10:33:25 am

I feel like respectful guidance is the best choice of the three. It incorporates feeling wanted while allowing the child to know they should listen to the adults. Respectful guidance offers positive encouragement and an overall kind demeanor for all involved.

I think highly that being respectful and show that their respecTed is right. Giving them chances/choices is also important. I also think that having a kid being involved in a good envoriment is important for our program we also make sure the kids feelings are respected. As they grow they question a lot of things such in education, politics and etc. But showing and having a kid being in a healthy enviorment where they don't feel pressured to do things is also important. I totally agree with the respectful part of the reading.

Jocelyn Ramirez

10/3/2016 10:29:23 am

Which of the three guidance styles would you consider more effective and why?

I believe that the style that would be the most effective is respect. I believe this because children should have space for mistakes and we are there to help them catch their mistakes and guide them to not help them make the same mistakes again. Also, because it gives children a voice, many kids don't have the opportunity to talk about how they feel because at home they don't have that. Lastly, I believe its a healthier way for kids to learn, its a healthy way for them to learn respect and how to give and receive respect.

kylee

10/7/2016 01:29:08 pm

I would say respectful, it teaches the children if you want to be treated right, then you have to treat others with respect if you want the same in return.

Kristopher McLendon

10/11/2016 11:48:46 am

Respective guidance is by far the best practice. There is more of a choice and a level of respect between child and provider. Instead of allowing children complete freedom or giving them no freedom, the respective guidance approach is a great median.

i would use the respectful one because all children should learn the basics of respecting themselves as well as one another.

Respective is the best guidance style because it allows slight flexibility with the structure of authority. This style will work best with children and give them a relaxed yet firm environment.

I would definitely choose the Respective way when it comes to guidance and how the children should be handled. As a teacher, outside of home. We maybe the only example of integrity, support, and respect that they come in contact with. And as a teacher it is my obligation to mold the minds of my students to be: respectful, strong, and people of integrity/ of good character and morals.

Respective is the most effective because it provides rules clear to the child and it teaches children to respect the daycare and everyone in it as well

the respectful is the most effective because it sets clear rules for the students with a understanding of punishments. it helps the students learn right from wrong and how to respect the school as well as the teachers and other students.

Respectful guidance, of course! Children will learn more if given options.

Respective is the most important because we want to encourage children to think for themselves and feel comfortable to come to an adult for guidance when needed.

The respectful guidance style because it is positive and helpful. It's the happy middle where the children aren't under complete control but are also not at complete freedom. It allows the kids to have room for mistakes, to learn for themselves and be who they are or wish to be yet we are there to help guide and pick them back up whenever needed. It's a way for them to be taught right from wrong but they are allowed to make their own choices. Children will learn to control their behavior and accept their emotions/feelings.

I think the most effective way to work with kids is to be respectful. Setting too many rules and not allowing kids to make choices doesn't allow them to learn and grow from the choices they make. Not setting any rules doesn't teach them to be respectful of guidelines and authority. Being respectful will have an even balance of allowing them to make choices and teaching them to follow rules.

Definitely Respectful Guidance. The child is given the balance to be child that is learning and makes mistakes, but with set rules so they know there are boundaries. Kids learn by making mistakes and adults need to know that is okay, that should be respected and second chances should be given once in a while. But being "too flexible" allows the idea that mistakes can be on purpose and flexible boundaries mean that there won't be repercussions.

I think respectful guidance style because the children learn to be respectful with each other and staff.

Respectful guardian is the best option. This is a great middle ground to meet children at. This way children aren't threatened by you but they have a respect for you higher than to run around and do whatever they want all day

I believe respectful guidance is the most affective because when a child feels that you respect them and care about how they feel etc they are more inclined to trust and respect you

The respectful guardian technique is the most effective approach I believe because the students feel like they have set boundaries and they seem to listen better. Children make mistakes and teaching them this way makes them understand why there choices were wrong.

Respectful Guidance Technique.

It helps the child gain gain your trust, and value your words and friendship. There has to be a common ground in order for everyone to work well together, and by respecting each other this allows for that.

I would use respectful technique becuae when you respect others and have rules and guidelines the kids expect to do more better and work hard.

Out of everything RESPECT is Huge it goes both ways if you do not have that for each other then it make it really hard to do your job!!

I believe that the respectful guidance system works best. Respect works both ways between the children and yourself. It is important to hear out where the children are coming from but at the same time they must understand that there are boundaries.

While Respectful guidance strategies should always be at the root of our program philosophy and practices, it is also vital for children to deepen their understanding of safety protocols and emergency procedures in response to the current social climate as well as disaster preparedness. Often the best way to build trust between a caregiver and child starts with a foundation of respect for self, others, property, and planet. Expectations must be clear, consistent, and communicated throughout each activity and transition. Children should be encouraged to learn and understand the difference, for example, between lining up to go outside for play and cooperating during drills and actual emergencies when Authoritarian guidance is often implemented (fire, earthquake, lockdowns).
Children need assurances that they will be safe, valued, and respected for simply BEING. I approach these three styles as a balancing act, dependent on lenses of time, environment, and cultures or dynamics. In art, children should be given regular opportunities to create with fewer restrictions to choice and expression where adult guidance (Permissive) is limited to providing access, tools and supplies, and expectations for safety. In cases of positive redirection as a behavior management strategy, children can be given a set of choices rather than one directive. Whether a child care provider is leading an activity, disciplining a child, or facilitating an emergency drill, Authoritarian and Permissive guidance styles may lend stability and creativity to a program rooted in Respectful Guidance.
