Module 6

Helping children realise which behaviours are appropriate and responsible gor is paramount. Good, strong teamwork between adults will encourage good behaviour in children There are two ways we help teach children good behaviour, through positive reinforcement of good behaviours and negative reinforcement of bad

Therefore, young children should be guided through multiple techniques in order to attain independence, self-discipline, and initiative. I believe that by promoting individuality as well as relying on consequences will allow young children to strengthen their independence. Through consequences, young children learn that what we do affects ourselves or peers. Another factor that needs to be considered when strengthening independence would be avoiding unmet needs. As we help young children to understand their own needs we are helping guide them to solving the problem and gaining what they require in order to be successful.

9. Children, as well as adults, need to be treated as worthwhile individuals who can think

2. One developmentally appropriate practice to help a 5 year old remember to be respectful is by presenting a poster during circle time with the title of what is respect and below that will also say good manners are necessary to show respect for others. There will be three big squares. In each of these squares will present three respectful manners to follow in the classroom. The first square will be titled hello and goodbye and it will have examples on when and how to use these words. The second square will be titled please and thank you. In this square it will have pictures and examples on how to use this manner respectfully. The last square will be titled Table manners. In this square it will have a few examples on respectfully using table manners. Presenting this poster

Even if a child is well behaved and listens when they are told not to touch

• Every child is an individual – with different needs depending on their age and abilities, for an example, when physical play is involved more consideration must be given to a child who has become mobile than to an older child, when

Regardless of age, we all like to be noticed and praised for something good that we have done. Research has shown that in order to balance out a negative, we need to be given 6 positives. It is important therefore, to recognise and reward positive behaviour, especially for those pupils who perhaps need to be reprimanded more than others. Whilst it can be easier to simply react to the negative aspects of a child’s behaviour with “don’t do this, don’t do that”, it is also really important to point out what they are doing well, whether it’s sitting nicely, listening well, joining in, following instructions, etc. It is also important not to forget those children who always behave appropriately and openly praise them too. In the 1940’s BF

48). In my opinion, this is the definition of a teacher. You must know where your kids are at mentally and emotionally, but always try to push them past that so that they can be the best version of themselves that they can possibly be. Equip them with what they need to succeed and let them find their way and push those personal boundaries in their lives, because it will make them better people in the

17. Children should respect the friends and relatives to their parents and in their behavior

When an individual demonstrates respect for another, they give value to their being and principles. Respect for young children must be something that comes from inside of a person who believes that children are worthy of our time and attention as individuals. Magda Gerber spent her life encouraging people to not only respect babies, but to view them as active participants in their own development. Teachers and caregivers should always keep in mind that respect is a significant component in best practices and for meeting the developmental needs of infants and toddlers (Swim, 2008). Some ways that they can show young children respect is by validating the children’s feelings and providing a high level of safety and by avoiding rushing children’s development and overstimulating children. In order to develop positive relationships, they can use “developmentally and individually appropriate strategies that take into consideration children’s differing needs, interests, styles, and abilities” (“What are Positive Teacher-Child Relationships,” n.d., par.

The success of the Montessori method depends on how the environment us set up, it is essential that it is prepared and simplified for the students’ understanding.

The next quality of becoming a good student is the type of behavior you must show. Being respectful in the classroom is important because if a student is sent out for

We can help the child attain independence by giving opportunity for him to work with the materials by himself, by directing him towards a given end to develop his will, by giving him constructive work to help him in developing discipline, by letting him know and have an understanding of what is good and bad and also giving him freedom to reveal himself completely by playing only passive role.
