When we talk about punishment, we naturally make a distinction between school and home. I think it would be useful to look at a child's day in terms of a continuum of care. If parents and teachers would work together to create a discipline plan that could be implemented consistently throughout the child's day, I think it could improve behavior at both home and school.
