"If this were my child, I would ..." This is a familiar phrase commonly heard from someone confronting a discipline issue with someone else's child. What do you do when you feel a child left in your care is out of control? What do you do when you can't lean on what you felt worked with your own children, like a good spanking? "Disciplining Someone Else's Children" answers this question by providing strategies that support the emotional and social development of young children while setting limits for a safe learning environment.

Discipline scenarios are also provided as a tool to examine the interactions between children and teachers and offers an opportunity to use the strategies stipulated to correct undesirable disruptive behavior.
