There are few discipline problems in a Montessori classroom. At Montessori Radmoor School, we have two solutions. First, most discipline problems occur because the child has not found work that is sufficiently interesting to hold his attention. Therefore the child would be shown a new activity or redirected to an appropriate choice. Occasionally, new activities are designed specifically to meet a particular child’s needs. Second, a child may be asked to remove himself from the group to a space, within the classroom, designated as the “quite spot” to take a few minutes to “quiet his body.” We show the children how to calm themselves down and regain control during circle time at the beginning of each year and individual children may have repeated lessons. The child may return when he or she feels “quieted.” Occasionally a child removes himself to regain control. If a child disturbs another child, physically or verbally, she is told, “I will not let anyone do that to you so I cannot let you do it to somebody else.” The classroom discipline is based on mutual respect.
