Seminar for our Amadeus Staff

Three teachers came from Nairobi Waldorf School and held a seminar on "Creative Discipline" for two days. The staff also learned a lot of new things to do during free time with the children.

What is discipline?
Discipline is not the same as punishment. Instead, discipline has to do more with teaching and involves learning how to respect others, what acceptable or unacceptable behavior, with a goal of helping to develop children who feel secure and loved, self confident, self disciplined and know how to control their impulses and who do not get overly frustrated with the normal stresses of everyday life.
In our society the word discipline can be seen as being harsh and rigid, which should not be the case!
