This is done with body movements, tone of voice, facial expressions or lack of them, and nonverbal and verbal gestures. Teachers who exhibit calmness, confidence, strength, and support inspire a more relaxed, comfortable atmosphere in which children can learn. Acting punitively and harshly sets a tone that can affect children in a negative way. A positive tone is created when teachers communicate their acceptance and warmth, creating a climate where children feel safe, secure, and guided. To do this, teachers must respect childhood, the individuality of each child, children’s growth patterns, their feelings, and their capacity to learn. Teachers need to be culturally competent in order for children to thrive.​
