any answers will be greatly helped I have just been staring at this for way to long and now the questions gone over my head thankyou !!!

HI there
Is that the full question? Not sure if this is on the right track, but educators could
1. model the behaviour - educators use their manners with each other and the children. Educators apologise if they make a mistake. etc...
2. Scaffold the behaviour - if a child does something that upsets another, you could ask - what could be a nice thing to do so your friend realises you didn't mean to push them...etc.
3. Praise good behaviour - focus on the positives - Wow, Billy I love the way you included Susan in your play, that was very nice of you etc..

Hope this helps
