Behavior Management - pieced together from other sources from Shannon Krukonis- Behavioral Specialist R Club
1. How our behavior affects children’s behavior
a. Tone of voice – children will mimic with each other how adults talk to them.
b. Power struggles – children will react to what you do rather than what you say
c. Communication – cross communicating can lead to confusion and frustration.
2. How to deal with behavioral issues
a. Communication – Allow for both sides of stories. Use various forms of communication (pictures, body language, etc.). Talk to other staff for opinion and/or assistance.
b. Environmental changes – Changing groups, areas of play, activities, etc.
c. Consequences vs. punishment – Establish rules, follow through on consequences. Provide natural/logical consequences for actions. Should be related, resonable, responsible, and respectful.
d. Control and respect vs. disrespect – Maintain self-control. Empower child through limited choices.
e. Behavior write-ups – Using them as threats weakens the value. Do the write-up when redirection does not work and then explain why to the child the write-up was done.
