Motivation And Attitude Towards Kids

Children are motivated to learn when they have opportunities to make choices in an environment that is secure, enriching and stimulating. Children are curious from infancy and have a desire to learn from their environment and people around them. When children are encouraged to interact with their peers and adults in positive ways, they feel safe to explore their surroundings.

Keep in mind that your end goal is for the child to be intrinsically motivated so they have ownership of the behavior.

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

This encourages the child to continue the positive behaviour and they will be rewarded with positive attention and something for example as a toy or treat.

It is essential that positive behaviour is always promoted and praised to encourage children to continue their ‘good choices’. Teachers and other adults in schools should also demonstrate positive behaviour as children notice when adults’ behaviour is out of character. If teachers are being positive role models it is more likely that pupils will also behave in a positive way.

Promoting confidence that every child can improve will see the child gain satisfaction on their own progress and will give them a sense that they can continue to improve, a teacher or TA can do this by giving

2. Negative reinforcements – this also makes children repeat behaviour but in different ways e.g.: If a child does well in an exam therefore they don’t have to do their chores.

Praising them for desirable behaviour, providing opportunities for them to continue feeling independent, encouraging them so that they feel valued, being aware of their stage of development, at all times acting as a good role model.

In thinking about the way I was raised, I feel like I was very “lucky” so to speak. Both my Mother and Father always encouraged me and gave me multiple opportunities to succeed. My philosophy for guiding my student’s positive behaviors starts at the front door of my classroom. I can honestly say I set the “tone” for my classroom. I meet my students with a smile, a song, and a “good morning”…”today is a beautiful day!”. I lean down to their level and compliment them on any good thing I can find. For example, “You smile is just what I needed to see today” or “My favorite color is red and you are wearing a red shirt!”. Every child will have a bad day, just like every adult has a bad day occasionally. It is my job to see the bright side of the situation and help him or her find something

Our program’s philosophy on positive child guidance is to discipline instead of punishing children for accidents or mistakes they make. With the help of our committed staff, we can provide a positive atmosphere that will allow the children to feel loved and accepted to help build their self-esteem. Our program will offer the children with choices, but there will also be reasonable, and developmentally appropriate limits. The educators will model positive behaviours that will teach the children to problem solve and build self-control in a healthy, and safe way.

In working through negative, the child can realize negative behavior patterns that may have become ingrained deeply beneath their awareness and

From a very early age, children begin to learn about the association between behaviors and consequences. They realize that there is always going to be a consequence whether it’d be positive or negative, that would follow the behavior. Sometimes children behave very well and most of the time, children tend to give parents and others around them a hard time. When it comes to behavior modification, some basic steps include identifying the behavior, setting expectations, monitoring progress, and reinforcing correct behaviors. Positive reinforcement has a lot of effect on children when it comes to modifying a targeted behavior. A reinforcer,

They learn to establish positive relationships with their peers by understanding and respecting others’ feelings (Oliver & Klugman, 2002 & Contribution Goal 3). Also Vygotsky believed that children learn to be co-operative and grow as a responsible and good adult in the society through large group plays (Smidt, 2011). They also develop the problem-solving skills that are required to be a good community member and come to know about the acceptable behaviour (Klein et al, 2004).

I first read the article about positive behavioral supports. I gained an insight about the importance of knowing and observing the child. If we do not carefully do observation, we could misunderstand why a child is behaving a certain way. If we do not understand the why, then we cannot solve the problem. We need to know the purpose of the behavior so we can teach an alternate behavior that provides the same purpose as the undesired behavior. We as teachers can also lessen the amount of times a student is exposed to the trigger which causes the behavior. If we do all of these parts we can help a child overcome the negative behavior and replace it with a positive behavior. I am going to practice looking at what trigger’s Matthew’s bad behavior so that I can avoid those triggers. This will help me learn the process so I will be a more effective teacher when I have my own classroom.

I consider and know that children are the future of our world; we have to know how to teach and educate them adequately so they could be prepared to lead future generations. I consider that each child has its own way of learning; there are multiple ways in which a person could be intelligent and capable of completing tasks. I want to be able to help children with everything they need. I want to motivate them to do and be the best in every task and area, everything that they dream and think about, to persuade their dreams and never give up no matter how hard they think it is or how difficult becomes trough the way. I don’t want to be the type of teacher that goes through the school year teaching what I have to and limit my capabilities to show them things and lessons useful for their lives, I want every child that goes to my classroom, leave it at the end of the year with instructions or lessons that make them better persons. Additionally, think that it’s important to have a good balance between discipline and kindness with students, it’s important to have a good relationship with the students because in that way is easier to communicate with them; if they have any problems or trouble learning a lesson or something in the content, if they have a good communication and relationship with you, it will be easier for them to tell you about what is causing them trouble. In some cases, when the educator is strong and teaches with hard discipline, the students tend to evade them and
