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.
