About the School

  • The purpose of Tomorrow's Children is to create a positive, healthy environment for each child.
  • In order to accomplish this aim, reinforcement is emphasized and discipline de-emphasized.
  • However, it is recognized that external controls often have to be used in teaching children internal control and discipline.
  • Through many years of study, we have learned that a simple removal from the situation can be a very effective treatment technique.
  • This technique utilizes normal discipline conditions such as sitting in a chair, on the floor, or going to his/her bedroom.
  • In situations where sufficient control by the client have not been achieved, a more restrictive room may be used for very short periods of time.
  • The reason for this short duration is that extensive disciplinary conditions such as restricting childen for extended periods of time has not shown to have the desired effect.
  • In fact, extended periods of discipline only contributes to a negative environment in which very little learning takes place.
  • Therefore, we are always striving toward utilizing the least restrictive techniques possible while in the process developing more normalized, internal control.
