This talk brought so many thoughts to mind, memory flashbacks, and also got my wheels turning about how much this applies to children at different developmental levels, and those who are delayed due to a disability of some sort. The thought that "Kids do well if they can" and not following it up with "They are not doing well because they are lazy" is very important and is something that should be applied every day with every student, especially those who seem to be struggling with something constantly. Taking the time to address the issue, be empathetic, let them know that you understand, share with them your concern, and then allow them to find a solution to their problem. This is an important collaboration to have with students who are struggling with problem solving, flexibility, and controlling frustration. This is something that I have had a lot of experiences with, personally, as a mother, and in many observations and professional interactions, but more so with my children when it comes to challenging behaviors. When addressing this concept to those who are exhibiting challenging behavior, I have much experience …show more content…
Rewards systems do not always work, and this is important to remember as a teacher. For a child who is struggling with a challenging behavior, we have to remember that "If a child can they will" and "If a child cannot, what is happening". Look at the patterns, the situations, the individuals involved, and approach the student in need in a way that is focused on collaborating with the student will help more than pointing out what they are doing wrong and how they can fix it. Collaborating will take time. But you have to take the time to develop this skill in children that it does not come easily to. It is a process, and it should not be
• Can help identify the situations where challenging or negative behaviour doesn’t occur and provide possible areas of solution.
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
Are you the type of person who wants to be able to go to work everyday doing something you love, helping others who need it, and getting a smile on your face just by the smallest of things that someone does? That is the type of person I am, which is why I chose the career path of a Behavior Specialist. A Behavior Specialist is someone who works with a person who may have a disability, and they study and work with them to make things as easy as possible for their daily life. They focus on the perception of life, however sometimes hesitate to present the strong conclusions how behaviors cause certain emotion (Thompson). A Behavior Specialist is also known as a Social Psychologist, because they study how a person’s mental life and behavior are shaped by interactions with other people (“Pardon Our Interruption”). The four main behaviors that Behavior Specialists look for when studying the actions of a person are, “Self-awareness, emotion, motivation, and feelings” (“Modeling the Early Human Mind”). Although I believe being a Behavior Specialist is a dream job, there are always issues that go along with any job, in this case emotions play a role in the occupation working with people who need extra help.
It is also evident that family is very important to these students, one threat from the teacher to call home to mom or dad usually invoked a positive behavioral adjustment. I was almost positive one of the students was about to cry, but the teacher gave him redemption and told him she wouldn't call home if he could answer one of the questions she was asking correct. He was ready to answer all of the questions, but of course I noticed he was using his cheat sheet, which the teacher standing on the opposite side of the room did not
Every single day is a struggle for an autistic child and his or her family. Autism affects all aspects of a child’s life from their ability to show affection to their family to being able to do simple tasks such as communicating and thinking in ways that we take for granted. Autism is defined as a developmental disability in which children experience abnormalities in social functioning, language, often act in puzzling ways, and usually appears before the age of three (Mash &Wolfe, 2010). Although the exact causes of autism are unknown there does seem to be a strong genetic component. Having a child or family member with autism is a constant battle of emotion and frustration. Everyone wants to help the people they love when they have
I also agree that management has to be able to change and grow and continue to listen to any upward communication from the staff. In order to accomplish better communication, management should provide an ‘open-door’ policy and also informal meetings where employees can either feel free to go to their supervisors first with any questions or concerns and also raise issues with resources or basically anything that interferes with their job performance (Newstrom, 2014, p. 70).

This essay will compare and contrast two theories of behaviour management by Carl Rogers and BF Skinner and argue ways in which one of these theories could be implemented for a particular context and practice. Roger’s theory is based on a humanistic approach, while Skinner’s theory takes a behaviourist approach; each theory has both benefits and shortcomings. Their views form opposite ends of the learning spectrum. These theories will be examined as their respective works address the underlying issue of how children learn to behave.
Do you want to know what excites me about babysitting my little brother as well as my dog? Well, I’ll give you a tiny hint, absolutely none of it does. My mom and dad are gone all day and they trust that I take care of Anthony and my dog Gunner while they’re away. They said me and Anthony would be grounded from electronics for three days if we weren’t on our best behavior. However, living with the world’s biggest troublemaker as a little brother is a hard achievement to receive. While I was cleaning the dishes, Anthony toke Gunner out to the back of our house. At first, I thought nothing of it, what could possibly go wrong? I mean, it’s healthy for any dog to get some fresh air. Then without warning, I heard the gate creak open and heard Gunner
Encouraging behavior is a way for an organization to get the public to do something, Discouraging behavior is a way for an organization to get the public to stop doing something or prevent them from doing something. An example of discouraging behavior is the MADD organization. They are a group who wishes to inform the public on the dangers of drunk driving and driving while under the influence of drugs in hopes to stop it from happening. When trying to discourage behavior an organization might wish to send out press releases, ,make PSAs, or try to get news media coverage. This attempts to show the public the dangers that these behaviors have on themselves or on others and hopefully is enough to discourage this behavior by the public. Sentimental
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,

Learning obedience is an important part of early child development. Obedience is the main tool parents use to train their children. Through obedience your child will use things he or she needs later in adulthood that force obedience upon a child will soon create resentment within their children, which will eventually lead to rebellion.
