If we go and show bad attitude and show that we are negative to certain people around them. Then we could make children to be the same way, which is not a good example to them as young children don’t know the differences between right and wrong. As a teaching assistant it is my duty and responsibility to respect the children with there needs and accept them for who they are. The way I can do this is if I think about my own beliefs and opinions so I can learn not to judge others on the basis of their race, gender or religion etc. In my line
They can quickly fall behind from peers of the same age. They may find it difficult to interact and make friends with others who are more advanced. They may struggle with intellectual development memory and concentration. Delayed speech development A child who has limited or no speech could be a cause great concern. 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.
This in turn will affect their learning and ability to interact. This results in children eventually stop wanting to come to school as it’s not a happy safe place for them to be. It can also cause problems at home as they are unable to say what’s wrong and can act out at home. This continues with a child believing what they hear, that they are no good, they do look different, what’s the point , and feeling as if they have nowhere to
We may regularly work with children in small groups or on a one-to-one basis. We are likely to be the person who the child feels more comfortable to talk to when the rest of the class are not around. It is important that we know how to recognize when abuse may be happening and what action we should take. While we must avoid jumping to conclusions we must always be observant. 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.
Poor communication Conflict can occur when communication has not been effective. This may be due to a misunderstanding or because information has not been passed on. To overcome this we should discuss the problem, find the cause and a way forward, so both parties are satisfied with the outcome. External factors When we work in school there may be a person who is under pressures of work load or other issues which are affecting how they communicate. If we know the person we can easily identify if there are behaving in an unusual way & we should ask if there is anything wrong or how we can
For example if you tell a child not to do something they are likely to wonder why they cant do it, and do it anyway as they are curious of the reasons why they are not allowed to do it. Allowing children to take risks also enables staff the opportunity to assess them efficiently which may enable them to provide the support the child needs. The UNCRC states that every child has the right to make choices, this means children should be allowed to make choices about managing their own risks in a controlled environment. Depriving children of taking risks can: Lack of experience to carry out tasks efficiently Decrease opportunities for physical opportunities An inability to cope in stressful situations Problems managing other forms of risks Poor social skills Children should be able to take both physical risks, social risks and intellectual risks. It is important for children to take physical risks because; Helps them to learn to negotiate natural hazards such as ice Learn to use equipment safely and purposely Developing control and coordination Children should also be allowed to take social and moral risks because; Helps them to develop an understanding of expectations and rules within different social settings Develops reasoning skills Helps them to negotiate with others including learning to say ‘no’ It is also important for
According to our text corporal punishment is the gratuitous intentional inflectional of pain on children’s bodies for the purpose of modifying behavior. When a child is being discipline it does not always have to be physical. Sometimes all it takes is for you to say their name, or speak firm to them. Some children have a history of being spanked for no reason so when they get out of the situation and get into a better one all it takes is for them to hear you raise your voice and they know. I also believe that taking things away from them is a great way of showing them that they must do what they are told.
It is clear that the child’s mental, physical and psychological needs are not being met in his home environment. The traditional parental role is one of caregiver, role-model, and nurturer. When the father is absent from the home this causes a schism within the home that, if not filled properly, can contribute to the delinquency of a child. The child usually begins exhibiting behaviors such as lying, stealing, misbehaving in school, and fighting. If not checked these behaviors accelerate into anti-social behavior directed towards other children and the community.
The parents usually do not socialize with other parents because they usually receive negative comments towards their child. Parents who anti-socialize usually channel that aggression to their spouse which results in violent arguments. Schools as well as teachers are also responsible on placing kids with ADHD in an environment where they can perform their best. This is not to segregate the children but to place them in an environment where they can learn their best. Also, if the child does not perform at his/her best, it greatly reduces the self-esteem not only of the child but the parents as well.
‘It’s Not Discipline, It’s a Teachable Moment’ states that many parents and educators use various forms of punishment to discipline. However, in doing so, they tend to inadvertently reinforce inappropriate behaviors. While time-outs can be effective in helping young children control their emotions, many adults misuse the technique, by making it too long or scolding the child during the time-out. As the article points out, parents will often drop whatever they are doing in order to discipline their child in cases where they are acting up, which is exactly what the child wants, thus rewarding them. Moreover, it is much more effective to reward children for their desirable behavior.
