Children experience stress and anger and frustration just as adults do. Peer and group pressures may cause even the most responsible child to make an inappropriate choice of conduct. When students act out in ways that are not acceptable at school, we try to look to the cause of misbehavior and provide children with acceptable alternatives. Most of the inappropriate behavior we see is part of children’s natural social and emotional development. Our goal is to teach children how to behave in ways that are acceptable and which also meet their needs. Please do call us at any time you have a question or concern about discipline at AES.
