Behavior Management
I believe the reason so many people have trouble when it comes to Behavior Management is the fact that not enough people follow through with implementing consequences. There was a time when every action had a reaction and we were all held accountable I personally begin with 2 mins, 5 mins, and an opportunity to review what it feels like when it’s done to them take the one thing that is most complained about someone taking from or not playing with then hitting we talk about those things the reaction response consequence however and I have recently found it effective to remind children of that feeling then think of how another child may have felt “when” .Teaching a child to reflect is important at an early age The problems waiting until its to late

I agre children need consiquences, however I am not sure how effective that could be when working with a child say with autism or some other developmental delay. I am curious on different ways to redirect them. For instance, I have a child who is nonverbal, autistic and she gets frustrated whenever she cant communicate her needs or wants. This leads to her either hitting the teachers or herself and rederecting seems to upset her even more. What are some techniques that could be beneficial in this situation?

Im not sure if this is the right place to post this. I don’t see how else to do it. The question was on how we follow the rules and policies for disciplining kids in early childhood education while also respecting the different ways parents and families from diverse backgrounds approach discipline. I think keeping up with the policy handbooks for your school is really helpful. Maybe also if there are differences, maybe set up a meeting with the family and talk about it with them and let them share their cultural ways of handling it, but to also keep in mind the school’s policies already set up.

I do believe many early childhood educators and even families of young children do struggle with behavior management now a days. As the time changes, so do acceptable repercussions for bad behavior. We are now in a child-centered society, whereas back in previous centuries children were almost discarded, and corporal punishment was commonly used. I think the struggle with behavioral management has to do with how diverse children, families, and teachers are now. Not everyone is raised with the same mentality or house manner as they were in previous time. To be successful in efforts of managing difficult behavior it is best to try and collaborate with the children’s background, parental backing, and administrative help. There are so many different beliefs, parenting styles, and children have an abundance of influences in today’s society due to technology. With that being said there are a million new behaviors we are seeing and a million new strategies for helping work around them, it takes a lot of time and effort to find what works best for you and your students.
