If I were writing guidance policies, I would like to address how the program uses a positive approach and what that entails by giving some examples of what we do instead of punish children. We also clearly state what kinds of behavior we must report to CPS and why we think that is necessary or perhaps how to avoid or work on that kind of behavior. For example, maybe state that we give positive choices to a child if they are on the verge of a tantrum to help redirect their energy. And perhaps it would be good to clarify the different between positive approach and a rewards system (why their children do not receive "stickers" or gold stars for certain things).

Take the child to a quiet corner and get down on their level. Talk to them about what they are feeling. If they aren't sure ask questions until they realize what it is that is upsetting them. Acknowledge their feelings and that you understand why that would upset them. Describe to the child how you would like them to react or respond in the future to a situation like that. Let them know that you understand they are upset but they can't react the way they did and remind them what you would like them to do in the future.
