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.
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
Behavioral Support Plans Yoshiko Butler ECE 201 Maya Raimondi August 20, 2012 Behavioral Support Plans Many children are disruptive due to lack of behavioral control. Most negative behaviors are a cry for help. Controlling a child’s behavior benefits everyone including themselves. Many factors contribute to a child’s behavior such as environment, relationships, and bullying. The way a child acts serves as a purpose.
All classrooms have posters promoting positive behaviours and feelings. There are also many games and puppets that can be used to encourage social skills. All children are encouraged to take part in their classes circle times, even if they make a minimal
Behaviour therefore whether positive or negative becomes a means of expressing either displeasure or approval from the one displaying it as a means of communicating. Examples of behaviours may include; • Hitting/Lashing out • Aggression • Polite and warm nature • Withdrawn or self-seclusion • Frustration 1.2 Children go through various stages of development and the ability to express themselves and understand others give young people the foundation to control their emotions hence behaviour as they develop self-control. Speech, Language and Communicational Needs can therefore affect a young Person in various ways namely; 1. Inability to talk; speech impairment: - children will miss out on vital play time and interact with peer. In ability to ask for things from parents, resulting in snatching, clinging to things even when there are supposed to give them back 2.
I see how they control the children and how they make the atmosphere positive so all the children behave positive. Also, what I’m being taught in college has a major impact on how I work and interact with the children. I’ve noticed that all children behave differently and you have to remember this for when you’re actually talking to them. Observations have helped me understand children’s behaviour because I can read them and
Young children are very impulsive and find it hard to control their behaviour but, once language is mastered, children’s behaviour changes. It would seem that language helps children to think things over when talking about it. They can then focus on the consequenceses of their r their friend’s actions and they can initially begin to remind themselves of what they need to do or what they should not do. For example in an early age when a toddler goes up to something they souldnt be touching and points at it and say ‘no’ is an example of this. Another example would be in the pre-school age, when they have ran into someone by accident and hit them, they know they didn’t mean to do it but to still say sorry for hurting a friend.
Most children imitate what they see a person do or say so if someone is doing something bad they will most likely copy that as well. Observational learning, social learning theory focuses on behavior modeling, in which the child observes and then imitates the behavior of adults or other children around him or her (Wiesner, Capaldi, Patterson,2003, p.318). Social learning is one cause of juvenile delinquent behavior because; juveniles who are easily persuaded are most likely to imitate everything they can see. A good example is the violence that is portrayed on television it can have a huge negative impact on the behavior of some children. The next reason why juveniles commit delinquent acts is child abuse.
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.
Younger children can also catch on to whatever is being presented by other children when they come in contact with them and that is another way of observing and assessing a child with behavioral issues. All of these factors impacts students with EBD but all children may not be exposed to all of these
