Observing Children's Behaviour Issues

This section describes how we, as practitioners, monitor how the children are progressing and in which areas.

The observation tool provided monitors and records a variety of developmental milestones. These observations are used later as a reference to better plan the curriculum for the class. Accurately collecting this information includes an honest, unbiased record of behaviors, regular updates, and a review by other staff members trained in the observation

There are a lot of children who have problems with following expected pattern. It is so important parents know how to monitor children. One of the best ways of supervising kids is observation. Parents should notify teachers when there is something wrong with children's behaviour. Then, it will be possible to take care about their development and progress. Parents should stay in contact with teacher and transfer information about progression. We can divide observation into two techniques: formally and

Understand how to monitor children and young people’s development and interventions that should take place if this is not following the expected pattern.

It is important to observe the child carefully, closely and to listen to them in different situations to ensure that the teacher is clear about what their needs are, their strengths and difficulties. It is important to observe the

8. Practise! The best way to develop your skills at observing children’s development, learning and behaviour is to do observations on a regular basis.

When working with children with behavioural difficulties it is important that practitioners respects the families culture, customs and values. Some children may grow up in a family where they value their father so it is important that practitioners take this into account when working with children with behavioural problems, as the child may listen more to male members of staff than female. Also some children may have been brought up by their grandparents where they are usually spoilt by them and get what they want and in the setting they cant always get their own way. When working with children with behavioural difficulties it is important that the practitioners have some knowledge on the child's background for example the child might have

I went to the Walmart with my family around 1 pm on Sunday in Oakland. While we were shopping, I saw a child named Lily who was approximately four years old. Lily was holding a toy. Her father said, “Sweetie, we were not getting a toy right now.” Lily replied, “I want one.” Her dad said, “Put it down ok, we are going now.” Lily was still holding on her toy tightly and said, “But, I need a toy and I want it.” She started crying. Her dad started walking and her dad kept saying, “Put it down, Lily.” Then, Lily started screaming, whining and crying and she was saying, “I want a toy.” She sat down in a few seconds as she was crying and whining.

Most child care providers understand the role of observation in early childhood education. Observation is often seen as one of the most simple, yet effective methods of assessing young children as they develop.For a child care provider or educator, observing a child begins with noting how each child behaves, learns, reacts to new situations and interacts with others. Later, you reflect on this information and determine how it can help you improve your classroom to meet the needs of your young learners.Observing the children in your care can help you to better understand the strengths and weakness of each individual child. Your observations can then guide your programming and help you make adjustments to your care environment to improve a child’s behavior and facilitate learning. Also, regular observation and careful analysis of their behaviors and personality traits can help you build a stronger

In observing the child and comparing with the content from the course , I have concluded that she is on average or above average when it comes to her physical, sensory, or perceptual development. I say this

So by asking how the child is feeling today it lets me understand their mood and how well they can express what feelings they have. The more complex children would go about what they did that day and it made them feel. When asking how their day was comes a follow up question of, if anything had made their day better or worse. If they can describe that feeling they are showing self expression, which is good in an early child's life. Usually when it comes to bad moods or good modes its because some other child behavior toward them. Asking a child who the names of their friends are and what they look like is a great way to get the child to use their brains in examining how people look and act as friends. Now when asking a child about what foods

This work is aimed at describing the process of negotiating an agreement to carry out a child observation in a school. It will explain my role as a social work student in the process of negotiating observation agreement with the school. Some of the issues considered in my negotiation were confidentiality, ethical issues and values, consent, communication, legal issues, professionalism, skill, voluntary participation of participant, contingency plan and limitations. The name of the child observed in this work will not be included for data protection and confidentiality reason. This is supported by the (Data Protection Act, 1998, Healthcare Professionals Council, 2016, The British Association of Social

During the primary recess we observed the children behavior, how boys and girls act having a different behavior. The first group we observed were around six and nine years old while the second group were approximately nine years old. This “experiment” objective was to observe people in their environment.

Nowadays, as a teacher or parents managing young children’s behavior is extremely important in early childhood and in the preschool. What does the “managing” means? According to online Cambridge dictionary (n.d), managing means to be responsible for controlling or organizing someone or something. Managing young children’s behaviour is important as children do not just learn about behaviour from what we tell them, they will also learn about how to behave from watching what we do (Better Relationship, n.d.). Parents view managing young children’s behaviour as children should being good and avoid bad behaviour, follow their expectation, and building up good manners. Whereas, teachers view manging young children behaviour is guiding children to follow rules and regulations.

Observing children in their natural environments (home, classroom, and outdoors) and recording their observations are considered important strategies that teachers need to do in order to follow up children 's learning progress and development at the Foundation Stage (Forman, and Hall, 2005). The observation, which is defined as “the process of watching a child at work or play without interfering in the activity”, and recording, “the process of documenting the observed activity or behaviour” were found useful to obtain solid information about Early Years children which can be shared with parents and other members of the teaching team to enable them to design specific learning plans and outcomes that fulfil the needs of each child (Laffranchinid, 2015). Recording and organising the observations of children leads to purposeful planning and individualising of the curriculum.
