    Description
    This course presents the basic principles and theories of child guidance and discipline through a strengths-based approach. Students will look at the multiple factors that make each guidance situation unique. The student will apply effective communication techniques and guidance strategies to real-life situations in a play-based environment and consider effective techniques for guiding young children in all early childhood curricular areas. A focus on the moral and ethical considerations involved in guiding young children will be pursued as the student develops a professional philosophy of guidance that considers diversity of family and culture. Meets the course requirements for Title 22 Licensing and the California Child Development Permit.
