Analysing Specific Behaviors

At the beginning they was playing together, but after that one of them pushed another one too hard and make that friend got hurt. The one who were pushed got angry and revenged the one who pushed him. Both of them were fighting and did not stop. Fortunately, the teacher came in and separated both of them. She told them to calm down first and started telling her what happened. Finally, both of them knew that they did the stupid mistake and they apologized each other. So, for now I think juveniles cannot control their emotions sometimes. But it does not mean they will not know what they have done before, they just need time to think and understand like my friends. If we give time for them, they will be better.

Children need to be taught from a young age that it is a normal part of growing up to have occasional arguments and disagreements, to fall-out with friends, from time to time, and not always to get on with other people.

Children, like adults will have their disagreements. As children get older their arguments can become more serious and are not simple squabbles. In order for children and young people to trust us, it is important that we can identify difficulties and help them wherever possible to find ways through them. It is essential that children and young people perceive our way of doing this as fair. When you have a conflict with a child, there is an opportunity for learning about how to solve problems. Conflicts help children to understand that other people have different thoughts and feelings to their own. Listen to the child and try to understand their point of view, and help them to understand yours. Then together, try to think of ways to solve the problem that you are both happy with. It might take a while but it will be worth it, and will help to build your relationship.

She told me about her classroom rules which are mutual respect, attentive listening and appreciations no put downs. She spent the first three weeks of school going over these three rules and afterwards she had each student write their name on colored paper which is their contract, their signature on that paper means they will follow those rules throughout the year. She has another rule in her classroom called “Kelso’s Choices”. Kelso’s Choices are nine different choices they can make on how to solve their problems in class. When the students come to an issue they have to choose two of the choices on the poster before going to the teacher. Some of the choices on there include, walking away, talking it out, apologizing, telling them to stop, etc. I really liked the idea of Kelso’s Choices because it teaches them problem solving as well as social skills. Instead of being unfair or going to the teacher they have the opportunity to solve the issues and be fair towards each other.

When children fall out and say mean things to each other I always say to them well how would you feel about that if that’s what she said or did to you? I always get down to their level and use the appropriate body language and tone of voice. I ask them what they think they should do and I sanction them if

Sooner or later, many parents and guardians will have to deal with an emotional child. One of the most important goals is to help children develop respect for themselves and others ("The Role of Discipline"). According to "Plain Talk about Dealing with an Angry child", handling children's anger can be puzzling, tiring, and upsetting for adults. Countless methods have been created to help cope with an angry child. The most effective and peaceful techniques of handling angry boys and girls are by setting good examples, enforcing rules in the household, and paying attention to them.

They decided that they wanted to go on a detour to a place that grandma had told them about. Mom and dad said no they weren’t going. So June and John decided to act out. They both started yelling and being very disrespectful. John was kicking the back of his dad’s seat. He kicked it so hard, that dad could feel it in his kidneys. June leaned over her mother’s seat and decided to yell and scream in her ear. She stated that they never have any fun on their vacations and never get to do anything that they want to do. Dad had enough of this and stopped the car immediately. Right then I would have had a little chat with my children and let them know that their behavior was and is unacceptable. This is what should have been done instead of going ahead and taking them to the one place they wanted to go. This teaches them absolutely nothing except that they can act a do whatever they want and they still will get rewarded and do whatever it is that they want to

The child does not want to make both of her bestfriends feel any less. As stated in the child development lecture “ 10-11 year old: Can accurately recognize and consider others viewpoints”(Slide 10, Sarah Gonzalez). She not only thinks of her own feelings but also others and their viewpoints. Therefore she refuses to take sides when they argue because she does not want to hurt anyone's feelings. In addition to having high social skills she also illustrates in her interview cognitive load and germane.

What the problem is. It’s normal to argue and disagree but it is also very important to know how to do it respectfully. Kids made it clear that they would rather avoid conflict altogether.

You’re not preparing them for later life when they have to choose their friends. Let’s say they make a new friend in their later life, are you going to expect your child to ring you up and let you talk to their new friend. No. This is never going to happen. In fact by doing this you are certainly not preparing them for their later life when they would be independent and working for themselves. In my opinion the best thing you can do as a mother is to monitor their friends not choose them for your kids that way if your child chooses a bad friend they will realize and probably never do it

Communication between parent and child has always been important. (Allsands.com) Talk with your child. From an early age, have discussions with your children as much as possible. Possible topics of conversation are: stories from when they were babies; one of the happiest days of your life was the day they were born, about their favorite television show, or their favorite food. Answer any questions they may have even if they have asked it a billion times before. And, be sure to listen to their

The conflict in the classroom was between Teresa and Megan. To resolve the conflict I would bring the two students together and have them work cooperatively on the issue with my guidance. I would want both students to feel free to speak their mind, feel listened to, and feel that they are an important part of the solution. I would want them to understand that they both need to be respectful, listen to each other, and try to understand the others’ point of view. As part of the process I would also expect them to work together to come to an agreement they both feel good about. I would not use peer mediation methods in a fourth grade class.
