Why consistency improves
kids’ behaviour by Michael Grose
One of the simplest ways to improve a child’s behaviour is to be more consistent.
Children love their parents to be consistent as they are able to predict how they will act. A consistent approach to discipline helps put kids
in control of their behaviour.
Consistency means as parents we follow through and do as we say we will. It means resisting giving kids second and third chances when
they break the rules or behave poorly around others. When we let kids get away with two or three infractions of the rules we often come
down very hard eventually, which causes resentment. Act early and prevent poor behaviour from escalating is the best approach.
Consistency also means both parents in a dual parent family get their act together and respond in similar ways when children are less
than perfect. Children learn from a young age to play one parent off against the other when their standards differ or communication is
poor. Sole parents need to be consistent with how they react when children behave poorly.
A consistent approach is shown through a clear set of limits and boundaries that provide kids with structure and teaches them how to
behave. Studies show that families with very few boundaries or rules are more likely to have children who behave poorly around others,
or don’t consider their own safety.
Children like limits and they also like to push against boundaries. One study has shown that kids will push parental boundaries about one
third of the time. This is a normal, but irritating expression of a child’s push for independence and autonomy.
Some toddlers, teens and other tricky types will push twice that amount, which is very hard work indeed.
Consistency is often sacrificed by busy parents and put in the ‘too-hard basket’. When parents are tired, stretched and overworked the last
thing we want to do is engage in a battle with a strong-willed child over what are sometimes petty issues.
Besides, consistency can make a well-meaning parent who values relationships feel downright awful.
But giving in rather than holding your ground is not a smart long-term strategy. If you give in occasionally kids will learn that if they push
hard enough, or give that winning smile, you will eventually give in.
Here are some ideas to help you be consistent with your kids:Here are some ideas to help you be consistent with your kids:Here are some ideas to help you be consistent with your kids:Here are some ideas to help you be consistent with your kids:
1. Focus on priority behaviours1. Focus on priority behaviours1. Focus on priority behaviours1. Focus on priority behaviours. It’s difficult to be consistent with every single misbehaviour, but it’s easy to
focus on one or two. When you are consistent with one or two priority behaviours it has a positive impact on other
behaviours.
2. Give yourself a tangible reminder 2. Give yourself a tangible reminder 2. Give yourself a tangible reminder 2. Give yourself a tangible reminder about the behaviour you want to follow up. Leave a note somewhere tell-
ing yourself that you need to “Walk away when a child whines. Don’t give in.” Or “Catch your kids doing the right thing
when they resolve a problem without arguing.”

4. Act 4. Act 4. Act 4. Act rather then overtalk or repeat yourself when kids misbehave.
Sometimes it’s really inconvenient to set a consequence, as you may have to battle a tantrum that follows. But the stand-firm approach
pays off in the longterm as kids learn eventually that you mean what you say, and say what you mean. That’s what firm, consistent
discipline requires.
5. Agree to a joint position 5. Agree to a joint position 5. Agree to a joint position 5. Agree to a joint position with your partner about a range of parenting issues such as discipline methods, going out, the use of

Welcome back to another term of doing our best to live sustainably. On Monday July 22nd,
the Liwara staff were involved in a professional development led by Nature Play Solutions.
The PD outlined to Liwara Staff the benefits of ‘Playing with loose parts’ for children. Below
is a youtube link showing the benefits of loose part play for students in the United
Kingdom. This may be something that Liwara may consider to supplement the wonderful
play opportunities already existing for students in our primary school.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqi1KyJJeKg
The suggestions offered in the PD gave staff the opportunity to participate in and showcase
sustainability in action. Keep recycling, reusing and reducing waste!
Tuesday 24 March 2020
This will be a half-day due to Parent-Teacher Interviews.
Students will need to be collected at 12.00pm.
There will be no lunches available from the canteen.
More informa4on will be adver4sed early next year.
As part of the Year Five Geography programme, the Year 5 students visited Perth Hills Discovery Centre to participate in the ‘Living with Fire’ excursion. During this excursion, the students
discovered the impact of bushfires on environments and communities.

We were also very lucky to have some great visitors come into school. We were visited by Maggie who taught us lots about the genetics surrounding Cystic Fibrosis as well as playing some fun games explaining dominant and
recessive genes.
Following an inspiring letter written by Tyler, Sebastian and Harrison regarding homelessness, local representative Jessica Stojkowski
(member for Kingsley) gave us an insight into the different levels of government.
A busy term ended with an impromptu visit from Duncraig Fire Service, where we learned about safe and unsafe fires. Firemen Simon, Mario, Stu and Lee also answered some ‘burning’ questions and told some amazing stories about ‘hairy’ animal rescues. (Apologies for
the terrible teacher puns!)
