Abstract
Highlights student teachers’ fears concerning maintenance of control in the classroom and relates these to the disciplinary problems experienced by some parents with young children. Urges teachers to overcome these problems by believing in children as people in their own right, by respecting children and their views and helping children to become assertive. Describes an exercise using the technique of “positive self‐talk” to address problems with discipline in the classroom.
