Compliance Among Pre Schooled Children

The majority of children/young people do not present challenging behavior, and they attend a range of educational settings in environments which are conducive to learning appropriate behaviors. It is essential to ensure that behavior which does not meet school/setting’s expectations, is responded to through management strategies that do not rely upon any form of physical or abusive

The behaviors that are followed by my positive reinforcement are likely to be strengthened and repeated. When a child is expressing unfitting behaviors I use the redirection method. Once an issue arises, it is sometimes beneficial to avoid a struggle with the child by directing their attention elsewhere. I listen to the child to hear his or her point of view. Then I give children acceptable alternatives rather than telling them what they cannot choose. I also use reminders to guide the toddlers. They include walking feet when in the hallways and the classroom, inside voices, nice touches, and listening

Therefore, although the book, in general, offers a plethora of knowledge derived from both personal and professional experiences, for those opposed to the use of corporal punishment, it can prove to be a difficult read. However, all in all, once again Dr. Dobson does an impeccable job at illustrating the many facets of childhood behavior as well as the challenges often resulting from physical conditions, such as ADHD. Moreover, his personal input as a parent only solidifies his acknowledgement of the difficulty and guilt parents often experience daily, which is only exacerbated when raising a “strong-willed” child. Finally, he concludes his book with a chapter entitled “A Final Word of Encouragement”, in which he discloses not only his personal experiences as a parent, but acknowledges the difficulties of child rearing and offers heartfelt encouragement to the discouraged parent. Ultimately, regardless of the stance that one may have regarding physical discipline, the compassion and empathy bestowed upon all parents throughout this book is definitely apparent and is

In the article “School Readiness for Infants and Toddlers? Really? Yes, Really!” by Sandra Petersen, she discusses how from birth to age three are crucial for school readiness. The “exuberant period” which is the months before and after birth is the time when the brain creates connections, “each capturing a moment of learning.” During infancy, foundations are built in each developmental area – language, motor, cognitive, and social-emotional. These later develop into skills such as curiosity, paying attention, memory, gathering information, problem solving, and working through frustration are learned. These skills are established in infancy and toddlerhood, but they are used throughout your whole life. These are essential skills that teachers look for.

Explain why each of the following Educator strategies and/or interactions would be effective in helping the child develop responsible and appropriate behaviour?

Verbal prompts, redirection to remain focused on a given task, minimize outdoor play, reduced iPad games and parent meeting. The results of interventions are diverse. Adriel would respond to previous intervention such as less outdoor play and parent meeting by behaving in class and follow directions for outdoor play for the first two days of the week and then the behavior occurs again. Verbal prompting often works for the first 2 minutes and then the behavior occurs again. The support and one-to-one attention given from the staff during transitions decreased the incidents of noncompliance, pushing and yelling. The staff will model, role play, practice and discuss all these intervention strategies to support Adriel. He will be given attention when he shows replacement behaviors.

The author, a professor of special education, is an expert in the areas of behavior disorders, the assessment and treatment of behavioral disorders and interventions for behavioral disorders. This article provides an objective and useful discussion regarding the relationship between Behavior Intervention Plans and the issues that must be address by school staff when developing and monitoring them. The author also provides readers with specific areas which must be address when developing Behavior Intervention Plans. The information provided may be useful for teachers and school staff.

Among the most widely disseminated procedures derived directly from the principles of applied behavior analysis have been those applied to the analysis and treatment of common childhood problems (e.g., Arndorfer, Allen, & Aljazireh, 1999; Schroeder & Gordon, 1991; Watson & Gresham, 1998). Applied behavior analysts have developed a countless effective interventions for common childhood problems and have repeatedly demonstrated that, even in loosely controlled applied environments, behavior often responds rather quickly to properly managed contingencies. Yet, despite these successes, some have maintained that simply providing repeated demonstrations of the effectiveness of behavioral technology eventually will yield diminishing returns to the field (Kunkel, 1987). The success of an intervention is dependent not only upon its effectiveness but also upon its precise delivery by a clinician and the consistency with which parents and staff implement that treatment with all of its essential

A realistic initial intervention is parental instruction in communication for achieving improved compliance with rules and societal norms (Henggeler, S. W., & Sheidow, A. J., 2012). Parents are taught to communicate requests in a clear and direct manner (I would like to you wash the dishes after dinner). It is important that the requests should not be negative or qualified. If the child does not listen and respond appropriately another verbal reminder should follow. After three such requests, and refusals, a reasonable consequences should be added. The chosen consequence needs to be realistically implemented and not vague or

Also when working with children who have behavioural difficulties it is important that practitioners see the child as individual and not the same as the other children. This will provide a child centred practice. Some children may find it difficult to follow the class or school rules for many different reasons. This could result in the child having an individual behaviour plan and this will help manage the child 's behaviour. it is also important when working with children with behavioural needs to manage the methods being carried out but also the ones that don’t work for example some children may like the reward method by having stickers and others may prefer to have free choice.

This fits into the assessment partnership with the parents by finding out information about their child. This will give a good idea of how well the child is used to following rules and having consequence of breaking these rules. I will know what triggers a child to become angry or upset.

I developed these ten journal reviews to gain more knowledge on diverse behavior management techniques for children. Most of the journals promoted techniques that were aimed towards preschoolers and children in a K-3 setting. Many incorporated techniques to help English Language Learners (ELL) and children with special needs reduce challenging behaviors. To develop this artifact, I analyzed whether or not the strategies and techniques mentioned were developmentally appropriate and complied with NAEYC’s Code of Ethics as well as the Principles of Professional Conduct.

Children look to adults, parents, and teachers for approval in order to confirm that the behaviors they are exhibiting are ones that are desired (Lawhon & Lawhon, 2000). By acknowledging the child’s behavior as appropriate we teach the child which behaviors are preferred over others (Bukatko & Daehler, 2001).

For students in a self-contained classroom, cueing and behavior modification are frequently used components of behaviorism. Cueing is using a method other than a verbal reminder as a way to encourage appropriate behavior, or discourage inappropriate behavior (Standridge, 2002). Behavior modification, as outlined in Foundations of Workforce Education, is used “to elicit better classroom performance from reluctant students” (Brewer, Campbell, & Petty, 2000, p.17). Behavior modification involves several components, such as determining what is desired, creating specifics within the environment, identifying appropriate rewards, reinforcing behavior patterns,

Over the course of one class period, I participate in a few different activities with the children. First, we stop at the bathrooms before breakfast. Being as far into the school year as we are, the class knows what is expected of them and what the schedule is. However, they do space out quite often. If a teacher is not standing by the bathroom door watching them wash their hands, then there is a good chance they will play in the sink. Once I or another teacher says their name or reminds them to hurry up, then they go back to following the rules. The children are obedient because they have respect for teachers and because they do not want a punishment.
