The Montessori approach to Behaviour Guidance is to foster self-discipline within each child. The classroom environments are designed to provide a variety of choices for children, and for children to work on activities alone or in co-operation with others when they are ready to interact in that fashion. Children repair or make amends when they have failed to take due care of equipment, or hurt another child. Being involved in the rectification assists the child to develop a sense of consequence and caring for others. The staff are encouraged to tailor behaviour guidance approaches for each child, keeping in mind that there is no acceptance of poor behaviour whilst at the same time building into the processes constant messages of love and acceptance of the child.
