Are restraints used when a kid isn't a danger to themselves or others?
Every time restraints are brought up about kids, I always think they are talking about violent children because that what they are used for, not for things like if a kid tossed their work assignment on the floor and hitting their desk or table or kicking at it or at their chair or if they are crying and shouting. To me this isn't violence because no one is being hurt and nothing is being damaged. If a kid is being so disruptive to a point other students can't work and concentrate, remove the kid from the room and take them to where they can calm down. It would be going for a walk or going to a library or whatever relaxes them. This wouldn't be a punishment.
