Self learning:
            Self learning is learning is taking in information processing it, and retaining it without the need for another individual to be teaching it in order for the understanding to occur.
            Self Learning is a gift that we give to our students once they are old enough to receive it.
            Good teachers knows how much important it is for the students to practice systematic self-learning and direct their learning towards rewarding experiences. mainly in some students, the desired academic progress eventually tails to accelerate due to poorly organized self learning methods. Every student should know the methods of systematic self learning ,find the time and self motivate themselves for individual- learning to optimize their progress. Setting goals and objectives, following productive methods, using supportive packages and materials, getting feedback and guidance when threaded strongly, can yield most effective self learning.
            Self learning to advance academically, is found to be a challenge to the students and needs initial training and support from teachers. The qualitative improvement and satisfaction obtained from well planned and executed self learning practices in students:
·        Use effective instructional strategies to motivate and faster a natural desire to acquire knowledge, understanding and skills through independent learning.
·        They should learn to independently organize integrate all the instructions learnt in a meaningful way and attempt to add more to it by harnessing the additional knowledge from other sources.
·        Encourage students to in corporate the act of thinking into their self learning. They should ask to themselves several questions and attempt to find answers. Interesting and through –provoking questions help in factual recall sharpening their thought.
·        Home workers assigned to students should encourage them to practic of enrich their knowledge and skills. It should enhance their learning experiences, individuality and creativity.
·        Stress should not be just on learning factual knowledge or on role memorization. There should be attempts for deeper understanding.
·        Students should include into the schedule timely assessment of their learning by talking up some standard tests or performance assessment tests. Self assessment and evaluation enables them to monitor their progress and work for better performances.
·        They should use accumulated supporting activities and materials during the independent learning to sustain interest in learning.
·        Whenever they face some problems during the course of self learning, they should show he readiness to approach teachers or parents for guidance and feedback.

Process of disciplining techniques for boys and girls

Introduction
Discipline comes from the Latin word disciplinary, “which means,” “to teach,” discipline “that actually works is never about punishment. Discipline is simply a way to guide and manage a child’s  behavior.
“Discipline is based on the quality of a child’s relationship with the cave provider (a teacher in the classroom, and mom and dad at home). When a child receives consistent response from a caring adult, trust, deep attachment and a sense of being wanted develops. This forms the foundation of good behavior and effective discipline. 
            A child’s routine and frequent communication was vital to developing respectful and meaningful relationship which directly behavior and a child ability to learn.
.           Discipline is the process of teaching your child what type of behavior is acceptable  and what type is not acceptable In other words, discipline teaches a child to follow rules. Effective discipline uses many different tools, like positive reinforcement, modeling, and a loving and supportive family. Sometimes punishments or also and effective tool – but that does not mean that good discipline is mostly about punishments
1. Give specific positive Reinforcement
            Positive reinforcement is a key, it can come in many flavors. Smiling sharing a high-five and giving effective praise. But you should not just spout insincere praise without thought. In the class room. the effective praise is selective, specific, encouraging and positive. It avoids comparisons and competition. It competes a child’s progress with his his/her past performance rather than with other children and its delivered in a caring, natural tone of voice.
            avoid using blanket phrases like “good job” or good girl / boy and he specific about the action or observed good behavior.
2. Model the right Behavior
            In addition to offering positive reinforcement, modeling appropriate behaviour is equally important. Be mindful of what you say and how you say it – not just when you are taking to your child but when dealing with others as well.

3. Provide Direct Guidance and Explain your Reasoning
            When you guide your kids, always be direct. Give reasons and explanations for rules (Keep it smile for young children). And always make sure your directions and requests state what to do, as opposed to what not to do.
4. Prevent Bad Behavior Before it happens and seek out support
            To prevent the actions, before they do. eg:- Don’t tell the baby to stay off the stairs a million times, instant. you install a safety gate. Another example is reduce your extra work like lifting children to the sink every time they need to wash their hands. Whereas placing a stool at the sink will allow them to access the soap, water and towels themselves.
            some discipline techniques:-
            1. Avoid speaking to your child from across the room or the playground. It is easy for them to not hear or the playground. It is easy for them to not hear you or ignore you, and that can result in unnecessary issues.
            2. Give children as much notice as possible when changing activities, leaving the house, or a change in the schedule.
            3. Young children are concentrate, literal thinkers and concept of time is way too abstract for them to grasp. Try setting a timer or pointing to where the minute hand on the clock will be at clear-up time.
5. Offer choices
            When you give your kids choices instead of commands where they can use a “no”response, you are less likely to end up in the typical “power struggle” situation. The choice empowers the kids.
6. Create a yes Environment
            Children are born with a healthy  curiosity, and they need the freedom to safely explore their surroundings to discover what their world is all about. It is important not to inhibit this natural curiosity by constantly reprimanding your child form touching things around the house.
            As kids get alder their natural instinct is to express their individuality and push limits. At this stage it becomes essential that you give them the freedom they seek, but within well- defined limits.
            With younger kids, childproofing ex. placing all dangerous or breakable items out of reach reduces stress for both parents and children’s.
Teach emotions:-
            It is never too early to start teaching your kids to express their emotions. Not being able to comprehend what’s going on is a very common reason for kids.
            For younger children, a simple emotions chart can be great. You can even create your own by taking picture of your child’s emotion faces.
            For older children, teach them words from this feeling vocabulary list to enrich their emotions vocabulary, so they can appropriately express themselves.
7. Use fictional Third-party mediators
            With little kids, use a puppet to model positive behavior. A third party can help cool things down and diffuse tension.
                                      Establish your role as parent
            Responsibility as a parent is to help the child to become self-reliant, respectful and self controlled. Relatives, scrods, churches, therapists, health care professionals and others can help. But the primary responsibility for discipline rests with parents.
1. An authoritative Parent
            An authoritative parent has clear toward his or her child. The authoritative parent allows for flexibility and collaborative problem solving with the child when dealing with behavoiur challenges. This is the most effective from of parenting.
2. An authoritarian parent
An authoritarian parent has clear expectations and consequences, but shows little affection toward his or her child. The parent may say things like, “ because I am the mommy, that’s way, “ This is a less effective from or parenting.
3. A permissive parent
A permissive parent shows cots of affection toward his or her child but provides littke discipline. This is a less effective from of parenting.
                                                Role of a Teacher
            Discipline is not about getting kids to do what you want them to do. That’s what dictators do, and teacher is not a dictator but an educator. Discipline is providing an environment in which positive teaching and positive learning can occur simultaneously. Discipline is not control from the outside
·         Greet students at the door
          Interact with your students on a personal every day. Greet them by name, give a positive comment, shake their hand, and welcome them into the classroom. this sets a positive tone for a lesson or for the day.
·         Get students focused before you begin any lesson
            Be sure you have their attention before you begin. Don’t try to take over students
·         Use positive presence
          Don’t park yourself in the front of the classroom. Move around the room continuously and get in and around your students. Make frequent eye contact, and smile with students. Monitor students with your physical presence.
·         Model the behaviour you want students to produce
           If you exhibit show respectfulness, trust enthusiasm, interest and courtesy in your everyday dealings with students, they will return the favour in kind. Remember the saying “values are caught, not taught”.
·         Use low profile intervention
           When you see a student who is misbehaving, be sure your intervention is quiet calm, and inconspicuous. Use the student’s name in part of your presentation, for example, Selvan, who has been whispering to his neighbour, hears his name and  is drawn back into the lesson with no disruption of the class.
Conclusion:-
            Discipline techniques may depend on the type of inappropriate behaviour child displays. child’s age, child’s temperment and parenting style. Discipline is not about getting kids to do what you want them to do. That’s what dictators do, and teacher is not a dictator but an educator. Discipline is providing an environment in which positive teaching and positive learning can occur simultaneously.
