QUESTION:
Do you think it makes any difference to the success of the DWS program what kind of home the child is from, or what methods the rest of the faculty uses for discipline?

DR. MARSHALL’S RESPONSE:

Re:  Home Life

Focus on the behavior––not the “why” for the behavior.  Regardless of the “why,” everyone still has the freedom to choose their response to any situation, stimulus, or urge.

Simply put, expect your students to act in appropriate ways. Let them  know that if they don’t, they are the victims of their impulses. Not  even young children want to be victims.  (View DWS Impulse Poster.)

Re: Other Teachers

You can be the only one at school using the  program and the learning climate of your class changes. (Of course, the entire culture of the school changes if the system is adopted school wide.)
