Helping Children to Support POSITIVE Behaviour
7
Guiding Children ● Involves ways of helping children learn to behave appropriately ● Teaches children to control their actions and to make decisions ● Combines support, encouragement, and setting limits ● Encourages appropriate behaviour and helps stop problem behaviour ● Promotes the development of self-confidence and self-control ● Needed to keep children safe and healthy ● Helps children to like themselves and to get along well with others. When combined with love and respect, children develop an inner sense of self-control and self-confidence ● The use of positive language is VITAL

Tools to Guide & Discipline Children ● ● ● ● ● ●
1 0
Divert attention Set limits Offer choices Redirect Timeouts Reinforce behaviour These tools can be thought of as a group of tools used to help shape children’s behaviours and their personalities Tools this powerful are often hard to use because they take a great amount of practice
Positive Tools Help Develop Self-Control ● When children have self-control they know 1. What to do? 2. When to do it? 3. Can behave appropriately even when caregiver is not around 4. Self-control helps children ● feel safe ● feel confident ● be able to think for themselves 1 1
Effects of Negative Tools ● Negative tools like smacking, hitting, yelling or making fun of children tend to ●
●
●
make them timid and withdrawn or rebellious and mean lead children to feel bad about themselves and to develop fewer feelings of self-control lead children to question parents’ love and discount the times they really do want to talk, hold, or spend time with them
● Constant questioning and discounting of children leads to discouragement, and a discouraged child is more likely to misbehave 1 2
Reasons Children Misbehave Curiosity Illness or Medical Condition Boredom Angry feelings Need for attention or love Low self-esteem Anxiety ● results from caregivers who are not familiar with ages and stages of children’s growth and development 8. Confusion ● results if caregivers are not familiar with family and household rules 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
13
Guidance & Discipline for Preschoolers ● Redirection ●
●
suggest acceptable behaviours to replace misbehaviors turn a problem activity or action into an acceptable one
● Time-out ●
●
14
●
remove child from activity for a specific period of time until they calm down, think about what they did, and realize they will not be allowed to misbehave a set time in a safe place away from other children, activities and distractions be sure to talk to children about how time-out works
Do's and Don'ts ● If adults use many negative words such as no, don’t, stop it, cut it out, or shut up, children may decide to tune the parent or caregiver out ● Too many “don’ts” also cause negativism in children ● The LANGUAGE we use is VERY important for children! 15
Protecting & Preserving Children's Feelings ● Situation ● ●
●

four-year-old Hannah runs away from you in the shops destructive response: “What’s the matter with you? You’re acting like a baby; I thought you were a big girl” better response: “I need your help pushing the trolley”
Remember! ● Supporting children’s behaviour is not easy, take lots of practice and we ALL get it wrong at times! ● All children misbehave or argue some of the time ● You can respond quickly when children need guidance if you understand the reasons for their behaviour and know your options 17
