Discipline+program

The purpose of discipline is to get the child to the place where he/she recognizes his/her sin and is brought to restoration with God and other offended parties.

 Discipline begins with self-government which is an internal decision to obey God. God desires our obedience to HIS standard because He loves us and wants what’s best. Ask Holy Spirit to help you control yourself internally.  1. How do I obey? 1st time, every time, quickly and quietly with a happy heart.  2. Serve one another – minister to each other, encourage one another…  3. Work hard, do your job.  4. Take personal responsibility - All of life is about choices and their consequences. We choose the blessings of obedience or the consequences of sin.  5. This will be a safe place for everyone where all can feel loved and valued.  Rules:  1. See constitution for specifics.  2. Consequences - purpose– change the heart. You choose how it will go. Will you allow God to change you and do His perfect work or be hard and unchanged?

 Consequences:  1st time – private reminder  2nd time – consequence – time out from activity or recess, cleaning assignment, writing assignment, eat lunch alone, could be bathroom privileges if warranted.  3rd time – go with me to the office to call your parent and explain what you’ve done. Writing assignment to be completed before return to recess/lunch privileges.  4th time – See principal for further action
