Prejudice and bigotry are learned at a very young age mainly from parents, other children and other institutions outside of the home environment. In many cases when children are trying to understand why others are different to themselves they may take on board what others say about them even though it may wrong. This in turn gives children a misconception of what they are experiencing when they create their views and opinions. This then creates intolerance. Types of prejudice and discrimination include: • Racism • Sexism • Religious prejudice • Culture • Ageism • Ethnicity • Socioeconomic status • Disabilities – physical and mental 2.3 evaluate how own attitudes, values and behaviour could

"Children with challenging behavior and children with disabilities may have strengths in more neglected intelligences—music, art, physical movement, computers, for example. This approach allows them to develop and showcase their unique abilities" (Rasminsky, 2012, p 168). Children emotionally respond the environment they are in. Everybody desires respect, praises, and strong relationships-children are no different. Children must have a role model, most of the time is the teacher or family, but if they are not able to supply the demands than the child may look up to a trouble maker.
Social learning theory is about behavior that is learned from the environment through observational learning which could not occur unless cognitive processes are at work. This theory suggests that "humans are active information processors and think about the relationship between their behavior and its consequences". Since this focus group consisted of parents with children, this theory was appropriate to utilize. Generally, children observe the people around them that are behaving in different ways and perceive them as models. Those influential models include parents within the family, TV characters/commercials , friends, and school teachers which provide examples of behavior.
AC 1.3 2.1 2.2 There are many reasons why development in young people may follow expected patterns. These factors may include: social, economic, environmental and cultural. When working with children within our settings it is important to be aware of all these factors which may impact on the upbringing of the children attending our settings. The social factors may be from having a lack of friendship networks. Children’s friendship with others help them develop their emotional understanding, interaction, empathy and social skills.
There are numerous external factors that will have an effect on children and young people’s development, some being education, neglect, poverty, and history of abuse or the status of care. Education - Some children who have arrived from another country where formal education begins later may also find their intellectual development affected as they have had no previous education but could also affect their emotional and behavioural development if they feel they are not able to do what others have already learnt to do. Schools will often put appropriate support in place for children in these situations. Starting education early through pre-school or nursery children are being given a head start in many areas of development as they will have the opportunity to learn and experience things they would not do at home, whilst boosting they’re social and emotional development as they interact with peers learning to form friendships, through playing games where they will also come across turn taking and learn to adjust their own way of thinking to fit in. Some children who have arrived from another country where formal education begins later may also find their intellectual development affected as they have had no previous education but could also affect their emotional and behavioural development if they feel they are not able to do what others have already learnt to do.
ASSESSMENT TASK - CCLD MU 2.2 Contribute to the support of child and young person development Criteria 3.1 & 3.2: At several stages of children’s and young people’s lives transitions take place. While some changes can be positive, others may be difficult and therefore affect their development in a negative manner by becoming withdrawn, confused, frightened, angry, loss of appetite or lack of sleep. Importantly, successful transitions are dependent on practitioners consulting one another and building on information provided by parents and practitioners alike. During their time at nursery children may undergo different types of transitions such as emotional, physical, physiological and intellectual. To identify the transitions which children may face can help us to support and manage them.
It has many risk factors associated with it, many of which are related to the family life of the child and any co-existing disorders such as ADHD. The behaviors required for diagnosis have changed some since its introduction and the key to diagnosis is to determine that the behaviors are not just typical childhood misbehavior. Intervention is possible and the best interventions include the child and those in his or her life, such as parents, teachers, and peers. While there are many who believe that it is simply a mild form a conduct disorder, I believe that it should be considered a disorder that is a precursor of conduct
Support Plan Aggressive behavior often overlaps with antisocial or disruptive behavior, which inflicts “physical or mental harm or property loss or damage on others” (Loeber, 1985, p.6) and violates social norms and expectations (Walker, Ramsey, & Gresham, 2004). When these types of behavior come into play, it is important to develop a behavior management plan. Behavior management is important when working with children that have challenging behaviors. Behavior management in early childhood settings helps reduce behavior problems and change children’s attitudes. Effective behavior management skills will include challenging behaviors, strategies that teachers can use to determine the functions of challenging behaviors, and having an individual
