Differences Between Children And Young People And Adults

A meeting with all involved parties to discuss the issue is also another good way to resolve conflict. Everyone will have a chance to speak; this is a good opportunity to hear all sides of the story and gain a full understanding of the conflict.

It is important that you take the time to understand the cause of the conflict and why it has happened. Listen and hear what is being said, if a child does not think that he or she is being listened to they will get even more upset or angry.

2.3 Explain the main differences between communicating with adults and communicating with children and young people.

However there are also instances where a pupil’s inappropriate behaviour needs to be referred on to someone else.

You should try to handle conflict situations by remaining calm, ending the conflict before it escalates and remaining respectful of others. You should try to demonstrate active listening and discuss the situation in a calm and rational manner to try and resolve the conflict.

Recently, I witnessed a pupil at my setting using inappropriate language during a music lesson, where the class teacher was not present. I took the pupil to one side and bent to their level. I informed the pupil that the language they had used was both inappropriate and unacceptable. I told the pupil that I would be informing the class teacher of the incident and that should it happen again, I would be sending them straight to the head teacher’s office. Another child had overheard the inappropriate language and copied it. I took the same action with the second child, and then separated them, moving one child to the other side of the classroom. After the music lesson, I informed the class teacher of both incidents, who thanked me for my input and said that the pupils would need to be closely monitored for the rest of the day.

There will be times within your profession as a teaching assistant that you will have to cover break time duties and you may find you have to deal with disagreements. The best way to do this is to separate the children from any crowd that has gathered, this ensures you can listen effectively from both sides. Speak separately to the individuals concerned to hear both sides of the story. You may also ask them what they feel the best way is to resolve the matter; this will then give the individuals the chance to speak openly to what they feel is required to resolve the matter. For example saying sorry, shaking hands etc. Explain the outcome of the resolution for instance the game of football can resume, or friendships can remain happy. If the disagreement still persists then write an account of what has been said and pass this onto the a teacher or head teacher, explain to the pupils the consequences that this carries for example sending a letter home or calling the parents in. Teena Kamen states “Use eye contact and

With younger children you will usually have to resolve the disagreements for them but teaching aids such as play people and puppets can be useful to act out conflict situations and help them to understand the first steps of resolving disagreements. Young children are also more emotional and before you can resolve the problem you may have to take any upset children somewhere quite to calm down first.

To them being shouted at and that could make the behaviour worse in the long term

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a student to have a voice when deciding whether a given punishment is too cruel for the given action. The student, A student should be able to decide a fair punishment for the accusation. The accused student should appeal before a court to their fellow peers. Teachers should hear what the students have to say and not ignore our complaints.

Its also important that it is recorded soon after the incident took place. So the first step I would have taken would be to record the incident. Then inform the parents of both the children about the incident so that their parents could discuss this matter with their children at home and also to know that they need to be careful about what they say in front of their children especially as they are young and impressionable. I would also ask the parents to support their children and not to be too harsh on them. Then I would need to inform Ne’ Tanya’s parents that should this incident take place again then Ne’ Tanya might get suspended or expelled as Racism is an important issue and has policies in place so this is a warning. In my next life skills lesson I would discuss about how people have differences and similarities. As well as why we have different skin colours. Also make the students celebrate different ethnicities, cultures and religions. During the next few weeks I would follow up on the incident. Make sure that both Ne’ Tanya and Joyce were getting along well and that the parents are being careful about what is being said in front of their

One of the BGC staff members sees me and asks me if I could supervise the children in a nearby room. I peer inside, and see several clusters of boys. A few of them are hard at work completing their assignments. I see more children doing the exact opposite. I willingly agree to oversee the room for the duration of my time-period. The staff member tells me “Make sure they’re doing their assignments, and keep an eye out for the one who is best behaved.” She vocalizes to the children “Because that person will get a special prize!” Once inside the room, I take my seat in the center of the room. I introduce myself to children who look at me. The only girls in the room are two little ones, around the age of 7, chatting quietly to each other in the corner. In comparison, the boys were more boisterous in their activities. Two boys, in particular, were having a quarrel with each other. One of them has a Dr. Pepper in their hand, while the other has an unopened granola bar. Granola bar boy tells me “I told him he could have a few sips, and he nearly drank the whole thing!” The other boy replied, “I only had a few sips, but now he took my granola bar and won’t give it back.” It was clear they did not know how to come to a logical consensus, to which both of them would benefit. I tell them, “It’s very simple, just trade back your things at the same time. If one of you tries anything sneaky, then both the soda and the granola bar will belong to me.” The children look at each other, and then hastily swap their items. I have the natural disposition to lean back in my chair while im sitting. Some children, consciously or unconsciously, picked up on this and emulated what I was doing. Soon after, a BGC staff member walked in, and reprimanded the children for what they were doing to the chairs. I say to her, “I do that to chairs all of the time, and I didn’t know it wasn’t allowed here.” “I guess I’m a bad

Communication Ms. Cortes yells at the boys for any reason. The boys yell back at her and then the boys will have a tantrum. On the other hand, they boys all want her attention and they fight over it. She is having difficulties giving each child the attention they require.

I did not even have the power to wipe away the rain drops as they slid down my face. I was too mesmerized by the world below me. All I could do at that moment in time was watch everything I had ever known be demolished. That was the day it hit me, making me understand what life was about. As I stood high above the rest of the world on a bank, in my pink little rain boots, I had realized that it was time to grow up.

I would address Jamal’s behavior by providing and explaining to him, examples of rough play that are not tolerated at school. Also, when he is rough playing, I will alert him when his peers don’t like his roughness, so he is aware of his actions and the causes of his behavior. I will clarify to Jamal, a safe environment is needed for rough and tumble play, however, the classroom isn’t a safe place due to the limited space and may cause an injury to their peers.
