Redirecting Children’s Behavior:  Common Language; Common Learning Techniques

For dates, see our calendar

 

In order to develop a network of common language and developmental techniques for the child's environment the staff of New World Leadership Children's Academy is trained and fully utilizes the learning discipline and techniques of Redirecting Children's Behavior developed by Kathryn Kvols, Founder of the International Network of Children and Families (INCAF). Redirecting Children's Behavior is strongly influenced by the work of Rudolf Dreikurs, MD., author of the highly acclaimed book "Children: The Challenge".

 

The basic philosophy of this parenting / teaching technique observes that as children we are involved in experiences in life, and based on those experiences we make decisions about ourselves and others.  From these decisions we begin to create and form beliefs about ourselves and others that will become our guidebook for the decisions we make over many, many years to come. For this reason, the philosophy of Redirecting Children's Behavior views ALL behavior as communication.  It does not see temper tantrums and fighting as a 'bad child,' but views the behavior as a child who has lost the ability to communicate their feelings and their needs.  As this is recognized children can replace fighting with negotiation and cooperation; children can resolve their own conflicts so they remain self-motivated, respectful and learn responsibility.

 

Through the use of the tools and techniques of Redirecting Children's Behavior, children as young as toddlers learn: 

• Responsibility and initiative for decision making and self-directed learning
• Self-control and self-reliance enabling them to become self-sufficient and contribute to teams and family
• Good decision making skills helping them to create empowering belief systems
• To be in charge of how they are influenced empowering their resistance to peer pressure
• Cooperation skills and how to develop successful attitudes

 

And when you, as a parent/guardian, have a school that aligns the learning environments of your child at home and school through common language, common learning techniques and learning styles, you have now more than doubled the time and effort of what will influence the practical, ethical and moral make-up of your child. 

  

New World Leadership strongly recommends that all parents and influential guardians take the internationally renowned course, Redirecting Children's Behavior.  The increase in two-career couples and single parenting has made parenting a greater challenge.  Parents want close, loving and empowering families.  Families should be a source of rejuvenation, fun and encouragement.  All Redirecting Children's Behavior instructors are certified by the International Network for Children and Families (INCAF) which was founded over twenty years ago and taught in over ten countries worldwide.  INCAF is one of the only organizations that requires their instructors to maintain their certification through continuing education.

 

Kraig Kidd, Founder of the New World Leadership Children’s Academy is a member of the International Network of Children and Families and a certified facilitator of Redirecting Children’s and Behavior.  All New World Leadership staff are also trained in the Redirecting Children’s Behavior techniques and redirecting discipline so that it may be fully utilized inside and out of the classroom environment, redirecting behavior through loving guidance instead of ineffective punishment, as well as assist parents in implementing its tools as a daily practice.
