b) Describe developmental and emotional reasons that may affect behaviour

2. How does culture impact on a child's behaviour

3. a) how is positive behaviour promotes?
b) discuss specific strategies used to guide cooperative behaviour

4. When working with children with additional needs it is best to work as a team. Who would most appropriately be involved in this team

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
1. a) Acceptable behavior in my service is giving children a choice and the skills their would need to resolve conflict also supporting children in a loving and caring environment where their feel safe and secure also by being a positive role model by setting example for the children e.g. if the rules are to use inside voices whilst inside don’t be raising your voice at the top of your lungs. Unacceptable behaviour would be when children are showing a lack of respect by hitting, kicking, and biting also using inappropriate language to other children and educators.

b) Thing’s that may affect developmental behaviour is a child not getting the proper nutrition that could affect a child's lack of energy. Also a child struggle with self-esteem may act out, as they are not feeling loved and supported. You may also have children with special needs who could be at a different level of development. Emotional reason that might affect behaviour is a child feeling upset, withdrawn, isolates and also lacking social skill and a level of immaturity. Also a child who may have language delays our english not their first language, children with autism spectrum disorders also children suffering from child abuse our neglect.

2. Ways that culture could impact on a child’s behaviour is in some culture it can be inappropriate or even challenging to make direct eye contact when speaking to someone so you may see this as child or parent is disrespecting you but they are following they culture and believes. Ways we would address this is to try and have an understand of all culture even if you may not agree with it, as it isn’t place to judge if you are unsure of a particular culture do your research.

3. a) Positive behaviour is promoted by using positive reinforcement that encouraging good behaviour.
Some example of positive reinforcement is:
- Giving a child a high five or a pat on the back
- Offering praise
- Clapping and cheering
- Telling families the progress that their child has made

b) Strategies to guide cooperative behaviour is by demonstrating how to work together also encouraging each other in a job well do and that it’s great that you gave it a try. We could help teach cooperative behaviour by playing group games where children have to communicate to complete task or activities that promote problem solving and social skill.

4. Once you have gained knowledge about the child's background and their interest, strengths, needs and goals that parents may have for they're child you will be able to plan meetings with parents, families, carer's, professionals and specialists so everyone would have and understanding of the individual program you have for the child with additional needs.

Hi LA

I just wanted to ask a another question

QUESTION: When caring for a child with an additional need we may need to adapt the service. What can this adaption involve?

ANSWER SO FAR:
The adaption can vary depending on what time of additional needs your catering for as you may need to make adaption to the environment like adding ramps for better access to service indoors and out having railing in bathroom. Also adapt the play space both indoor and outdoor for example back thing accessible to children this will help all children play together and have fun always remember to always ask parent’s how can you change the environment to suit your child’s needs.

I'm just wondering what other adaption might be required

Cheers

Hi LA

Sorry to bother you again but I have another question that I thing needs a bit more info


QUESTION How can a carer’s relationship with the child and his/her family support behaviour managements programs?

ANSWER SO FAR
Having a good relationship with families helps with managing behaviour as it is good to have open communication with families about behaviour programs for example if service was considering making a sticker chart or tick chart to encourage children to sit during group time, share the toys or equipment you would consult this plan with parent’s and also update them on the progress it is making. If you were going to make a behaviour management program you would need to record your observation about the behaviour noted what time and what might be triggering these behaviours you will also need to communicator with families to see if this behaviour is also occurring at home or just when the child’s is in care? As the families might also like, to have a say about the program that will be implemented. Once the program in running you will have to review the program to see if the strategies are helping with the behaviour. You would have ongoing communication the family and other educators to make sure all staff are on board with the behaviour management plan.


but my teacher ask a question What to do if a family doesn't support behaviour management?
