Sometimes this is learned behaviour from home and is hard for young children to understand that you are telling them it is not okay to call names because of someone’s skin colour or how they look . It is important to be consistent and reinforce that it’s not okay and it is very upsetting and hurtful. How would they feel if they were left out. We need to teach our children empathy from an early age and to respect each other regardless of race, age, gender, how we look, where were from. 2.2 Any form of prejudice and discrimination can have a severe negative effect throughout a person’s life.
This would affect a child’s social and communication development as he/she would find it difficult to listen and speak to peers staff and carers this could also affect their behaviour possibly becoming frustrated and quite angry Whatever concern you have about a Childs development in any area, you should always share it with others. In primary school pupils, refer to the class teacher in the first instance, followed by the SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator). In secondary schools you may wish to go straight to the
We may notice physical signs or changes in a child’s behaviour, or the child may hint or disclose to us that they are being abused or bullied. We must also think about how we would respond if a child were to hint or disclose this to us. Always: * report concerns about possible signs or changes in behaviour to the designated person or manager * take what children say seriously – it will take a lot of courage to tell us and children will rarely lie about abuse * reassure children that they are not to blame if they tell us they have been abused * tell children that we will have to tell someone who can help them * write down what we have observed or what has been said – but keep
Not only does social rejection cause stress and aggression in a young child, it results in stress among the family due to the child’s behavioral changes. Robert M. Hodapp. “Mental Retardation: II. Contextual Issues.” Development and Disabilities
Communication with other children may be limited which could affect the child's emotional and social development as the child may feel left out which could leave them feeling sad or even angry within the situation. This could then lead to the child not wanting to join in with future activities. 2.1 The main influences that can affect a child's development is their parents. Parents will affect the background of a child as they are the ones who bring the child into the world and also cultural beliefs are pass down from the parents, also if there is any abuse in the family background this will affect the child's development as they may experience more sad and angry emotions. The child's health will also be influenced by the parents as they could pass on a genetic disorder on to the child for example a heart problem and they could spend a lot of time in hospital and miss out socialising with peers .
Reproof is a repeated form of discipline in which the child learns if they continuously act a certain way then there will be a negative consequence given for each instance that the behavior occurs. For example.. If the child chooses not to use the classroom toys in a proper manner then that particular toy will be taken away, this is re-proven by consistently taking away an object that is being misused. The other side of this is punishment which is described as giving a child something they will not enjoy (quiet-time, Time-out, extra chores, etc...) This will have the same effect as reproof the child will learn that in order to avoid these negative consequences that they need to fix the way they are acting. The idea that combines these two forms is the consistence that is necessary to make it effective.
A discriminatory attitude may have a negative impact on children's education and emotional development. A child who is discriminated against by the teacher can feel unimportant and worthless. The responsibility of teachers and TAs is even bigger as they have to be an example for the children. If the children observe that the teacher or T.A. makes differences between pupils they can follow this attitude and so the children that are discriminated may lose their confidence in their self and in others as well, and may develop inferiority complexes.
Can we really raise children to be moral if we discipline children immorally? The way we discipline our children determines the way they understand what they did wrong, how they will behave in the future and how they will discipline their own children. Unfortunately much of what we do in the name of discipline is immoral and causes more harm than good. This is why bullying has been becoming a more serious problem. In the book "Lost in Transition: The Dark Side of Emerging Adulthood" by Christian Smith, he sheds light on why bullying may be on the rise.
This can cause conflicts and resistance. For this reason it is very important that social workers, foster parents, and natural parents be sensitive and support the child through the separation process. (Crosson-Tower, 2008, p.351) The transitory nature of the foster care system has been seen as a problem especially for children who already have attachment issues. These moves can create even greater problems. (As cited in Crosson-Tower, 2008, p.351).
Inappropriate Disciplinary Practices: There is a great deal of controversy about ways to discipline children. For children with developmental disabilities, the child's developmental stage and mental age needs to be considered when determining discipline techniques. Use of disciplinary spanking should be discouraged for any child who is already demonstrating aggressive behavior or has experienced abuse or
