A method of supervision that allows the adult to focus on a child or small group of children while still being aware of what else is going on in the environment at large.
empowerment
Helping someone experience his or her sense of personal power. For example, an adult can empower a child by giving him or her the opportunity to make some decisions rather than being told what to do.
redirection
A form of early childhood guidance that diverts a child from unacceptable behavior to acceptable behavior without stopping the energy flow. Ideally, redirection involves giving the child a choice to lead him or her toward a constructive behavior or activity.
