We must be fair and consistent when applying the school procedures to ensure that the pupils are treated equally. If pupils who behave badly are treated differently, or in their eyes unfairly, they will become confused of their boundaries and unsure of what is expected of them. Treating misbehaving children differently will have a negative impact on future behaviour.
We also need to consider the child's perspective if they ask us for our opinion or advice. Children are much more likely to listen to our opinion or advice if we can put it in a way that means something to them. For

It is a large part of working with the children that they are safe and feel comfortable to be able to confide in you about anything that is troubling them. You need to be able to notice when something is bothering a child from as young as 6 months as they have no way in speech communication with you until the age of 3 and then it’s not clear what they are trying to tell you.
