Love With Limits.

What this looks like in practice

In a room run this way, the limits are few and they don't move. Children hear the same words at clean-up, at the table, at the door to the playground. A teacher kneels to a child's eye level, says the rule once, and stays nearby while the child works through it. You can watch for this on a tour.

Children raised with warmth and steady limits carry both outward. They fall apart less at transitions and recover faster when they do. At home you may notice fewer meltdowns at bedtime, or a child who can wait a turn without an adult standing over them. That steadiness is what the limits were for.
