Item Positive discipline in child care(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2026) Garcia, Aileen S.; Stephenson, Katie; Brown, Kyleigh"Discipline is one of the most important tools child care providers use to help children grow. Yet, the word discipline is often misunderstood and is commonly associated with punishment or control. In reality, discipline is not simply about punishing children; it's about teaching and guiding them. It helps children learn how to make thoughtful choices and understand the difference between what is acceptable and what is not. Every child, regardless of age or temperament, can benefit from consistent, supportive guidance to develop the skills and understanding they need to thrive. Still, discipline is one of the most common and persistent challenges in child care settings. Like families, child care providers work with children who have different personalities, needs, and home experiences. Each child is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Providers often deal with a wide range of behaviors, developmental needs, and family expectations - and it can be hard to know how to respond without effective strategies. This article talks about how positive discipline can help child care providers meet these challenges while fostering children's development in a thoughtful, respectful, and effective way." -- first pageItem Sharenting : risks and remedies(University of Missouri--Columbia.

Extension Division, 2023) Willenberg, Barbara; Mills-Gray, Susan"Pickling fruits and vegetables can add variety to your pantry.
