Engagement in a full range of activities is part and parcel of a healthy basic lifestyle, which individuals with learning disabilities are entitled to. The purpose and outcomes of these activities will vary on the individuals’ abilities. Learning or development activities produce positive emotional effects, notably confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of personal value and purpose. Being involved in learning or development activities is fun and absorbing for individuals. It suggests it helps individuals to have positive experiences and develop important characteristics and abilities.
When the child is hungry it will cry which creates discomfort to the child itself. Feeding the child then takes away this discomfort and the child see’s the food as a reward. Therefore the food is seen as the primary reinforce. Overtime the pleasure the child receives from the food becomes associated with the primary caregiver, who then becomes the secondary reinforce. Eventually the child will seek the person who can provide the reward as it feels pleasure when the primary caregiver is present and feeding it.
The policy sets the boundaries of behavior expected from the children and also the behavior expected from staff. It sets out how we should reward the children and sanction them e.g. my nursery rewards potty training with stickers and other good behavior with verbal praise, if a child is behaving inappropriately then we explain to them firmly that the behavior is not acceptable and we suggest the correct behavior that they should be displaying and if the behavior carries on then we put them in thinking time or take them away from an activity. We encourage the children to resolve conflicts by sharing or negotiating with each other. It also has the anti-bullying policy in it and how we should handle situations and explains what inappropriate behavior is.
Perhaps it was born defective, or perhaps it has become imbecile through fear, malnutrition, and neglect.” (LeGuin, 348) LeGuin chooses words to describe the child that creates a feeling of empathy in her readers. By using words like “defective”, “imbecile” and also by referring to the child as “it” as if he/she were not even human, the author draws on her readers emotions to try to reveal the immorality of doing such thing to a child. In “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” LeGuin tries to make her argument effective though the use of irony. She begins her story introducing a happy setting, fathers and mothers and children playing, waiting for the Festival of
‘Strokes’ are variously described as a unit of recognition or a verbal or non-verbal means by which to acknowledge a person’s worth. The term ‘stroke’ represents physical contact, such as the touch used to communicate with an infant, or as part of feeding or nurturing. From an extremely young age, children are able to understand the concept of the need for human strokes. As we mature and our understanding of communication becomes more complex, some of these physical strokes where actual contact takes place can be replaced with psychological strokes, such as a gesture of acknowledgment, like a nod or a smile, or a statement, such as a compliment. Many studies, such as those by Bowlby and Ainsworth (Bretherton, I.
Many of those factors are either biological or environmental. Biological factors are the traits and characteristics people are born with. The environment an individual grows up in helps to shape his or her personality. Freud believes that the unconscious affects an individual’s personality. The unconscious is storage for an individual’s instincts and drives that he or she is not aware of (Feist & Feist, 2009, p. 24).
To notice a child is behaving in a good manor is important so then you can praise and give the child good feedback from what they’re doing. Every child’s behaviour is different, when a child is misbehaving, they might be distressed or something might be going off at home. In a childcare setting, if a child is behaving correctly, you need to point this out and make sure other children follow this example. D3 – I’m developing the right skills and knowledge to understand children’s behaviour by modelling the other adults in the childcare setting. I see how they control the children and how they make the atmosphere positive so all the children behave positive.
‘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.
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. There is another part of learning and that is social learning this is linked with emotional development, being able to control their emotions and being able to to build socially on this. Being able to have empathy for other and seeing if a friend is sad or happy and being able to adjust their behaviour to suit the situation. A child needs to be able to ‘read’ the faces of others to understand what communication is needed for the time. This is when they can communicate with their friend and adults around them to help a person in need or to join in with games for example.
