Positive And Negative Instructions And Operant Conditioning

Children need structure, guidance, and discipline. Keeping a close eye on one’s children will alert a parent as to when something is going wrong. Children are what they live, so teaching parent’s how to be good parent’s is not only going to benefit the parents but the children as well, instead of having monster heredity, them may have wonderful heredity genes for generations to

Negative support will discourage a child to display unwanted behaviour Cognitive theory- this theory states that children learn more when they are allowed to be ‘hands on’ with their play. It also highlights the importance of an adult trying to develop that learning opportunity and make the most of it, also extending their language while supporting the child during play. Explain how children are competent learners from birth to five years

CS III b: Times have changed. I can remember when coporal punishment was an acceptable means of re-direction and discipline. Today, with more education, educators and providers have better ways of communicating and developing stronger characters in children. A completely different means of fostering growth and discipline have evolved. Proven lesson methods through psychologists have opened doors for marked and proven progress. Understanding my students backgrounds through home visits, parent meeting, and one-to-one time with my children help me and my fellow educators develop a "whole" view of a childs image and make-up. Re-direction, strong fun-tasks, and constant guidance is the initial start to helping children with challenged

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

Children do not come with guidelines or instructions. What they do come with is a crucial set of physical and emotional needs that need to be met. To raise children properly, parents duties are not limited to just food, shelter and protection. Parents are largely responsible for their children’s success in life. Parents are required to teach and educate children. They have to shape knowledge and character into their children to prepare them to face the real world. To be successful with this, parents must provide self esteem needs, teach moral and values and provide discipline that is both effective and appropriate. As the generations have changed, many parenting styles have evolved, as well.

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.

Giving children lots of praise to help them learn positive behaviour we also give out stickers to encourage repeated good behaviour.

Skinner’s reinforcement experiments conducted on rats showed the principles of operant conditioning. While working with rats, Skinner would place them in a Skinner box with a lever attached to a feeding tube. After multiple trials, rats learned the connection between the lever and food, and started to spend more time in the box procuring food than performing any other action. He used positive reinforcement, and negative reinforcement to produce or inhibit specific target behaviors. Therefore, if a specific behavior is reinforced then the probability of that behavior occurring again is increased. Based on Skinner’s view, this theory can be applied to learning because learning is nothing more than a change in behavior. Operant conditioning encourages positive reinforcement, which can be applied in the classroom environment to get the good behavior you want and need from students. One of the ways of reinforcing a student’s behavior is through praise. Also teachers can build operant conditioning techniques into their lesson plans to teach children possible skills as well as good behaviors. For example: to give a smiley face, or motivational stamps to encourage children to perform correctly and encourage them to repeat such action again.

C) Use positive reinforcement and praise when individual responds well and behaviour improves, hopefully enabling young person to develop and recognise themselves that the inappropriate behaviour is not rewarded or acceptable, hopefully making the occurrence of inappropriate behaviour less often.

toddlers have tantrums as at this stage they ae striving for independence and become very self centered, seeking for attention most of the time. He will play alongside other children but not with them. At times he will get very frustrated, feeling rel anger. This causes him to feel frightened and often show themselves as temper tantrum which can be worse if children are tired. They can be dealt with by understanding the problem and explaining it so that he will gradually develop the ability to think things through. Another way to help is by being consistent. Dont confuse the child by giving him mixed messages as that will make him more frustrated.The problem should be discussed and a common policy agreed upon. You should also be consistent

Determining the best way to raise and teach children is a topic that has been discussed and debated for a long time. As psychology has developed, so has our understanding of how organisms learn and how we can apply that to our lives. One method of teaching is operant conditioning, giving either rewards or punishments after a certain behavior to promote or discourage it. This method could be used to teach children; for example, teaching children to say please when asking for items.

The styles that Dr. Baumrind recognized were based on two aspects of parenting; parental responsiveness and parental expectation (demandingness). The aspects are determined by the parent’s characteristics on the actions towards the children. Too much or too little of either aspect of parenting can conflict with the child’s learning and behavior. A single selection of the four parenting styles is approached after determining the degree of each of the two aspects. Although there is not a perfect match for any parent, most will tend to push towards a

The problem behavior (tantrum) has been identified as any occurrences that consist of crying, falling or stomping on the ground, kicking, screaming, and throwing supplies. The function of Sebastian’s behavior is to gain attention and to escape task or demand. Now that we have identified the behavior and function we will need to create and implement an appropriate intervention. The behavior goal is to get Sebastian to comply in home and school environments.

I believe that next thing any parent must not forget about is trust. Being consistent with your child is of paramount importance because that's how trust is supported. Being consistent is not changing the rules half way through the game. Being consistent is not promising rewards that kids will never see. Being consistent is not threatening punishment without carrying it through. From the very first day on Earth children put trust in their parents and it must not be betrayed because once it is, once children find out they have been lied to, you will have to literally put yourself out to win it back.

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,
