With the simple click of a remote control, children can virtually get involved in violent acts of shooting and killing. All of the violence in the media can have a negative effect on children, and impact them in many different ways. An example of violence in the media can be seen in video games. Video games were first introduced to us in the 1970s as a source of entertainment, but have taken a turn for the worse in recent years. "Today, most children play real-time, first-person shooter games in which the player views the world through the eyes of the video game character that they control" (Signorelli 2).
Psychodynamic theories are a mixture of inborn traits and the environment in which they live. Early experiences play a critical part in the future of children. Sigmund Freud believed that children are always at war with their inner being do to sexual and aggressive impulses. Theorists also believe that when children grow when they are able to resolve the inner conflicts. This makes them more self aware of who they really are.
Abstract Punishment is used in child rearing to decrease the likelihood of a certain behaviour recurring. Punishment can be physical or non-physical. This essay analyses the affect of punishment in: adolescents, in conjunction with reasoning in toddlers, and in relation to child temperament. The use of corporal punishment in adolescents has been linked to increased risks of psychological disorders in adulthood. Research evidence indicates that the use of non-physical punishment has been shown to be necessary to enhance the effectiveness of reasoning in young children and that determining child temperament is crucial for vital for developing optimal discipline strategies.
Whereas if the child or young person realises that this behaviour can enable them to get what they want or need, this behaviour can show that it is more likely to occur in the future. This maybe because children and young people are able to learn the effects their behaviour has by taking down in observations what others can do alongside things that the child or young person with problems can and can’t do. 1.2- Explain with examples, how speech, language and communication needs may affect behavioural, emotional and social development in children and young people: If a child can’t interact with their friends they will become frustrated and might get upset and angry. This will then make them not want to socialise with anybody. Children with special needs might have problems with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties because they might not be able to speak, communicate properly or their language might not be developed properly so they will become withdrawn, starting to feel isolated, being hyperactive, lack of concentration, immature social skills, showing challenging behaviour towards others with special needs or others
Using the Erikson's Model of Psychosocial Stages of Development, the stage I am going to choose is the adolescence stage. The crisis I choose is identity versus confusion. The role change I would use is that parent fail to listen and understand the needs of a child. The intervention I would use is teach the parents active listening and empathetic understanding skills. Yes, I have encountered my own family
Students with challenging behavior require specialized care and monitoring to identify and determine the functions of their behavior. An accurate documentation and analysis of data helps to ensure that an effective Functional behavior assessment (FBA) and behavior intervention plan (BIP) are put in place to combat the adverse behavior. When the function of the inappropriate behavior is ascertained, alternative acceptable behavior are used to replace them. It is important to make sure that the alternative replacement behavior will serve the student the same purpose or function to prevent the student from developing other unacceptable exhibitions and habits. The antecedents and setting events, the behavior and consequences should be critically considered to ensure that the function of the behavior is met.
Skilled observation is important to correctly determine what is behind a child’s classroom behavior. Misinterpretation leads to difficulties for both teacher and child stemming from the teacher thinking that one cause has led to the child’s behavior, while the truth may be quite different (MacDonald, 2006). Children communicate through their bodies. Their physical actions reveal as much about them as the things they say. A major accomplishment during the early years is the development of social skills.
A2. If the child is having a tantrum the Smith-Garcias can use operant conditioning by giving him or her a time out or giving him/her a punishment each time she has a tantrum. This would help because the child would notice that when he or she has a tantrum he/she always get a negative outcome. B2. If the Smith-Garcias want their child to develop a sharing behavior through the social learning theory they must be a good example for their child.
Parents believe that beating is a means of discipline and kind of education. However, it can also becovre the opposite. “Hitting children teaches them to become hitters themselves. Extensive research data is now available to support a direct correlation between corporal punishment in childhood and aggressive or violent behavior in the teenage and adult years. www.naturalchild.org”.
This is also true of rewards. They are more concerned with the external justifications of their behavior as it relates to a consequence, not an internal justification for change. When we justify behavior by intrinsic motivation there is a lasting effect. While we want children to follow rules, we really want to teach them how to respond appropriately to different situations in life. What happens when the motivations of punishment and/or reward are removed?
