Is your Au Pair too hard or too soft on the kids? Most parents prefer their Au Pairs to use Positive Discipline - this involves the Au Pair spending quality time to build a relationship with the children, using encouragement (not necessarily praise) liberally, helping children to solve their problems through discussion and having chores that children complete with supervision. Model the discipline style you would like your Au Pair to use and discuss techniques that work for you and your family. Life is so busy that sometimes its easy to overlook the fact that Au Pairs need guidance to manage the behaviour of children and that the chores or responsibilities of children need to change over time. One great method of encouraging positive behaviour is through routines and behaviour charts. These cute charts from Monkey and Chops encourage behaviour self management - take a look - behaviorcharts.org
