I am child professional! The reason I say that is because it is all I have known my entire life. My mom has had her own home daycare since I was 3. I always enjoyed helping her with the kids at a young age and as I got older I became her helper. She gave me 6 years paid experience. In addition to that I was a teen sitter that helped her families over weekends and evening care.

Now I am a happily married mother of two. I have a 4 year old daughter and a 6 year old son. Now that we have those infant years out of the way I have opened my own daycare and I am studying to receive my associates degree in Early Childhood Education.We have been open since 2008 and have had the privillage of becoming part of so many families.

This is the same discipline method I use for my kids. My discipline method is very basic and very effective as long as you follow it to the T. for example it doesn't work for daddy anymore because he doesn't always follow through with the method. We start with telling the child about how the action is not allowed and help them find an apporpriate activity to particpate in. Then the next step is when the same act is performed a 2nd time we count to 3 holding fingers according to number, if the child recognizes what they are doing is wrong we stop counting and say thank you to the child, if the child does not correct the actions and we get to #3 they will sit in a time out location for a time no greater than their age. When the time is up we tell them what is expected of them and ask for hug before they return to play. This method will be repeated as many times as necessary.
