Also they need to develop empathy. These are all part of positive self esteem, this in turn will lead to a child having self confidence, the ability to form good relationships and the development of skills which will help them cope with the things life throws at them. Within the setting, children are given strategies to help raise their self esteem leading to improved self confidence this, in turn, will help them protect themselves from harm and make decisions about their own safety.

The basic definition of positive reinforcement is thus; adding a result or consequence that the child finds pleasant, dependent on the occurrence of a certain on task or exceptional behavior by the child. This results in an increase in the likelihood of that behavior or response in the child. The mere fact that it does not use punishment, intimidation, yelling, degradation, humiliation, shame, guilt or other things that can hurt the child, their self-esteem, or their relationship with their teacher has made positive reinforcement popular around the world and used in many classrooms. One of the important terms to remember when implementing this method as a classroom technique is reinforcers. Reinforcers are anything that motivate the child in question and can range from tangible items to pleasurable activities or social recognition.
They will also be less likely to show unwanted behaviour because the carer will be able to recognise their needs and meet them. Positive relationships will help a practitioner plan more accurately, they will know what the child’s development needs are and plan for them. If the practitioner and the child have a positive relationship the practitioner will be able to read the child’s expressions and respond appropriately.

The Thinking Chair gives constructive direction for a child’s mind, producing a ripple of empathy in consideration of the circumstance. This in turn becomes practice and helps to lay a foundation for behaving appropriately based on lasting internal reasons. In order for a child to learn to make better decisions about behavior, he certainly must be aware that there are consequences . He will like some of the consequences, but some consequences will make him uncomfortable, causing dissonance. He needs to experience these things,
Attribution is especially helpful in attaining the goals in learning because success that is explained by their belief about the learning experience can motivate further learning endeavors, however it can also be detrimental if the learning experience is not what was expected. Goal of Learning The goal of learning in both motivation and attribution is to successfully navigate a learning experience. With attribution, effort plays a part in the goal as it pertains to how the individual perceives the reason learning occurred. Motivation helps to bring them to the place of learning. How one perceives the events and situations around them and within themselves will greatly impact learning.
When we are being truly empathetic, we actually feel what they are feeling. In order to get others to expose these deep part of themselves to us, we also need to demonstrate our empathy in our demeanour towards them, asking sensitively and in a way that encourages self-disclosure.

Each goal has a contributing factor in helping to give insight on different types of behaviors and can offer guidance in overcoming certain behaviors. One example of how these goals can help humanity is behavior in children. Some children that have behavior problems may be labeled or described as emotional disturbed. Once this description is put into place it provides insight to understanding why they behave the way they do. Understanding the reason for a certain behavior coming from a child that is emotionally disturbed is very important for their teachers, parents and peers.
