Children Should Start At An Early Age

Ask them which animals they like etc., and if they show an interest in a particular animal or toy, take their lead in elaborating as much as possible on what they like and want to do. Always giving praise and being positive in body language. Hugs and cuddles and allowing them to sit on my lap for comfort to read a book together or just for the contact. Listen carefully to what they are saying and always comment on what they say. If asking them something, then wait patiently for their answer, not to answer for them. Repeat what they say even if it just one word and praise them for speaking. Respond to them if they request your attention by touch or pointing.

Adapting your communication by using sign language or pictures, flashcards or slowing down your pace will also encourage a child and giving them

encourage their children and help their child out at home. As a practitioner it is your job to ensure that all children are learning some that you can do is send things home for the parent and child so they can learn and have fun at the same time.

There are many ways in which I encourage children to be able to develop their own sense of self. I help guide children in expressing their feelings. Sometimes a child gets frustrated while completing a task. This child then becomes agitated and temperamental, expressing their feelings inappropriately. I make it my duty to help them express their feelings in a suitable way. I lead them away from what is the trigger to the behavior. Then take them to a more calming location in the room, stay with them and talk them through the anger. I ask them what the problem is and ask them to point to what they are feeling on the feeling chart. I try to resolve the issue.

Depending on his moods depends what distraction method I use, sometimes I let him draw a picture and we talk at the same time and i slip in a few questions about what is upsetting him and making him sad. Other times I let him cool down in the sensory room or we just sit and talk. Sometimes he colours in a mood temperature gage and we talk about why he is feeling like he is and what can be done to turn it round. I try to let child Y thing of the solutions so he learns how different situations can be dealt with.

* Babies and young children are vulnerable and very dependent on their parents and carers. Therefore as well as provide and children’s learning and development it is also essential that we support the physical care, keep them safe and meet their nutritional needs.

Limit your child's activities that require a lot of thought or focused attention, such as:

With discipline is all about reinforcing positive behaviors. One example can be to give out praises when a positive social behavior has been shown and encourage to continue the behavior. As the previous example that I used, if the parents had explained that it is not appropriate to hit or throw things at people. Then the child would have learned that what he did was wrong and would likely learn not to do it again if he is given an acceptable consequence to his behavior. When disciplining a child they must receive a consequence that is appropriate for his or her age.

During the therapy, Therapist does not attempt to direct child’s behaviour or conversation, or not even tried to interrupt what the child’s had done in the sandy tray. Therapy waited for child’s decision on what materials he chose and his decision about how to play with it. Follow the child, when he decided to stop, respect his decision. Reflect his decision and follow him, allow him to get into sand play again. Not intrude to the child’s play. Therapist became a very unique person that help the child to realized what he is. Therapist keeps her own feeling, opinion,

Many psychologists throughout history have indulged in studies related to parenting behavior and how children are affected from such behavior. The work of Diana Baumrind, which is considered to be one of the most influential and well-studied theories of parenting behavior, was the first to identify three styles of parenting (Sclafani 44). These styles of parenting are called authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive. This paper will further explain descriptions of these styles and the typical behaviors of children as a result of each style. This paper will also provide insight on the parenting style I was raised on along with my thoughts on types of discipline I might use in the

• Try to distract your child from his or her pain, such as with books, activities, or toys.

Observe. Watch your child as a social being in a new way and how she responds to conflict. Connect with your child. “I notice that when your friend Katie leaves, you start fighting with your brother a lot. Are you sad that she’s leaving?”

Discipline also leads to more respect from the child. When children are disciplined at home, those children tend to be respectful towards others. Those children say respectful things like good morning, please, thank you, etc. Also, discipline instills appropriate behavior. When a parent disciplines their child for poor behavior, he or she learns about what behavior is acceptable. According to an article in the journal Pediatrics and Child Health, “Discipline can foster appropriate behavior in children, teaching them how to interact with others, when to postpone pleasure and how to tolerate discomfort” (Carpenter). With effective child discipline, that child will be respectful his or her whole life. For example, if a child borrows something from their parents, the parents car or jacket, and doesn’t return it either with a full tank or washed, than next time when they ask, the answer will be no. Next time around they are going to respect the parents and the parents’ things if that child wants access to the parents’ belongings, they are going to return it the way they found it (Radzka).

Although praise is one of many forms of positive reinforcement, it is by no means the only or even the best choice when working with young children. Educators often use praise interchangeably with positive reinforcement when indeed an important distinction must be made between the two (Strain & Joseph, 2004). Consistency is very important when interacting with a child. One must stick to the rules once they’ve been made, and don't allow the child to do something one day and then not let them do it the next. Don't confuse a child with unimportant decisions, and remember that it's often necessary to tell a child something more than one time. Speak clearly, and make sure that what you've said is understood. Above all, always maintain a positive attitude, because it's a sure bet that they will be imitating you.

Avoid rushing to correct mistakes a child has committed. Children are learning to cope and function. They will persist and practice to their heart’s content whatever skill they need to acquire, until they master it. If a child starts throwing things around and disrespecting the environment, by all means, stop her. Yet, explain why you had to stop her. Reason and listen to what the child may have to say. Maria Montessori said that “a child’s first tantrums are the first ills of her soul.” There is always a reason for everything. Try to bring the reason to light. Punishing, isolating the child, etc., will only feed her pain, and burry deep those reasons—she will learn to hide rather than communicate.
