Time-outs can be effective, particularly with small children, when they are applied appropriately. However, if time-outs are misused, then they might lead to feelings of abandonment and unworthiness, blind obedience, and a lack of self-control. Moreover, according to the class notes, children are curious and have a drive to learn, and learning is intrinsically rewarding for them. In order to facilitate this learning and avoid punishment, we should try to create conditions that impede unwanted behaviors. It is important to note that if children feel that they are being manipulated or controlled by the rewards, their behavior will likely not change effectively.
A1- Meeting care needs for children can get a little challenging for practitioners as there are many areas which the practitioners need to take in to consideration. The first area which is challenging for practitioners to meet is the individual needs of all children within the setting. If there is a setting which has 1/2 children who need special facilities to help them develop, it can be managed easily, however, if there are many children with different needs such as dyslexia, children on wheel chairs, autistic and visually impaired. This could be difficult to meet as there are many barriers in the way. The main barrier is finance.
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
Children with learning difficulties will need extra support with certain areas of development and may develop a low self-esteem because they get annoyed with themselves for not being able to do something, such as a simple numeracy problem, or read a book. If a child has sensory impairment, a hearing problem this would influence their development, it could affect their speech and communication and may make them feel they are unable to join in with
Non-verbal language may support or contradict verbal messages. • Once students start to share their understanding of what the tutor said, there is potential for clarification. However, noise may interfere with the communication process. • When the students ask the tutor for clarification they receive feedback on their initial interpretation of the message, which may reinforce the alignment between the tutor's message and the student's understanding of the message, provided that the tutor maintains message
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. It is a big responsibility for teachers and TAs to help children understand that each of them is special and unique but in the same time they are equal and they have to show respect to each other for their uniqueness. So it is important to promote an anti-discriminatory practice in working with children as this may affect their character. For the staff which is directly involved in teaching it is important to be conscious that their words are important however the example they give may sometimes be stronger than words.
Despite the benefits teachers and schools obtain, standardized testing like the FCAT is not effective in evaluating student’s performance because not all students learn at the same level, they fall under pressure, and they are being taught just for the test which prevents from learning skills that are yet to be learned. Admittedly, the FCAT brings benefits to
Other behaviours that could be of concern and interfere with learning could be attention maintenance, hyperactivity, or severe withdrawal. The point of concern is if the behaviour is something that hinders the child from functioning in a productive way, it is something that should trigger a teacher to seek outside assistance. Depending on the situation different referrals may have to be used. It may be appropriate to just have support from another adult within the school. However, there is a wider range of specialist support

Because many students also rely on the computer’s calculator, their ability to learn the proper methods of solving math problems might not be as enhanced. Because the traditional ways of learning are still readily available to students, it is important that parents and teachers encourage children to rely on them and not become solely dependent on
