Positive Guidance Paper
Child guidance is one of the most important things that will help in a child’s improvement and also in which the child grows up to be. In this paper I’m going to be talking about what positive guidance and discipline means, strategies and basic approaches that would be use to promote appropriate behaviors, strategies to respond to inappropriate or changeling behaviors, methods of responding to the individual child differences and methods for collaboration with families concerning child behaviors and guidance.
Positive child guidance is an ongoing process where the parents, the community, and the teacher or caregiver help the child learn how to manage their impulses,

In the book “Positive Child Guidance” it says that to promote positive and appropriate behaviors you should create a calm, peaceful classroom atmosphere this is important because it enhances development and fosters authentic learning. Having schedules also supports positive guidance it introduces order, it allow consistency which is needed, and transition become easy. Child directed activities is selected activities that match their own interest and abilities, it’s not influence by adult force, and it is base on the child natural interest and desire to learn activities. Affirmation, affection and acceptance gives children the assurance that they need and want, appreciating children for their own individuality and, letting children know that they do not need to conform or perform to be loved. Providing recognition is also important because children need them encouragement and positive reinforcement on a daily basis it boosts their confidence and self-esteem up.

They need for the teacher to help them interact, learn and play as normally as possible with other developing peers. They need caring, assertive, and positive guidance. Children need to feel valued, teachers need to focus on each child’s strengths, show unconditional affection to every child every day, and to communicate at eye level, use the child’s and use appropriate touch. To plan for success the child, the teacher, the parents, and the community needs to help the child succeed. Making accommodations is another approach for working with children with individual needs. To make the classroom feel conformable for each child we have to teach the children how to celebrate differences, show compassion and express caring for peers and most important prevent bullying. Being a teacher of children with individual differences should have a sense of humor and make the environment filled with joy. This is also important because children feed off of your emotions; if you feel negative or disgust towards the child he or she will know and feel
Always need time to communicate with the parents either formal or informal so we can build trust and be cultural sensitive. We can also provide parents with support and education with whatever the child’s needs might be. For the children we help them understand the language and reasoning skills. Math and numbers can be taught is so many ways through play that the children won’t get stressed. Nature and science when we provide them with things that are naturally in their surroundings they get a chance to investigate. Promote acceptance of diversity and do things to help all the children learn something new and interact with different activities when sharing their
...orce the good behaviour with rewards and decrease the likelihood of negative behaviour being repeated. The structured discipline of both parents and teachers help the child to appreciate that good behaviour is much more beneficial than bad behaviour but without this structure in one or both of these settings, could lead to the child not understanding, leading to it being much more difficult to correct behaviour that isn't wanted without resorting to drastic measures of physical or psychological punishment that would do more harm than good. Further research into helping the children in these sort of circumstances would be much more beneficial to the topic of child behaviour and punishment.
I believe every student is entitled to a safe learning environment where they can reach their full potential academically and behaviorally. Students will reach their full potential in a positive learning environment. The positive learning environment will be established from the beginning of the year providing a lasting impact on the students academic, and behavior performance throughout the entire year. The positive learning environment will be a classroom setting, which allows students to feel welcomed, safe, and important on daily basis allowing learning to occur to its fullest potential. To ensure my students are in a positive learning environment there must be a behavior management plan clearly explaining the expectations I have for my students. Throughout my behavior management plan I will explain how I plan to implement expectations so students act accordingly. My behavior management plan will be individually tailored to my students allowing me to push them to their fullest potential to by taking into consideration each student’s behavior and personal needs.
Children need a meet their physical needs ‘nutrition, in order to function a safe environment, he needs to feel loved by their peers and educators, he need to have social interaction with others, he need recognitions acceptance from their teacher and family, feel respected and valued as a child during the early educational years, which this ensure a healthy outcome later in their

...st part we have learned to accept our differences as individuals and have moved on. Although we may accept diversity others may have huge personal hang ups, which will prevent positive learning from taking place. As a teacher we need to identify and knock down these learning barriers to create a positive learning environment.
As a teacher in early childhood development, I believe that the teacher skills and personality influence how children understand, observe and react to the classroom environment and the world around them. Even though part of teacher responsibilities are academic, daily interactions that encourage social, emotional and physical development are important. One of a quality effective early childhood educators’ characteristic is that they should have patience.
At this stage, the child’s behaviour is also associated with Bronfenbrenner’s “bi-directional influences” (Paquette & Ryan 2015). For example, the parents may affect child’s behaviour and beliefs; however, the child’s behaviour also affects the belief and behaviour of her parents. Curriculum, teaching strategies and resources play main role in addressing children’s behaviour in learning environment (Conway, 2009). Implementing the appropriate strategies and developing positive relationship between educator, parents and other significant adult is very important for the child to understand a sense of belonging, identity and able to recognize herself as significant and valued (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority [ACARA], 2014). Proactive and Reactive strategies can be utilized in guiding the child’s behaviour. The reactive approaches can be implemented after the child’s inappropriate behaviour that helps her to understand about ‘punishments’ and endeavor to stop her inappropriate behaviour (Conway, 2009). For example, “if you punch him
In this paper I will be discussing the information I have learned from the article “From Positive Reinforcement to Positive Behaviors”, by Ellen A. Sigler and Shirley Aamidor. The authors stress the importance of positive reinforcement. The belief is that teachers and adults should be rewarding appropriate behaviors and ignoring the inappropriate ones. The authors’ beliefs are expressed by answering the following questions: Why use positive reinforcement?, Are we judging children’s behaviors?, Why do children behave in a certain way?, Do we teach children what to feel?, Does positive reinforcement really work?, and How does positive reinforcement work?. The following work is a summary of "Positive Reinforcement to Positive Behaviors" with my thoughts and reflection of the work in the end.
All the children should receive the same consideration, respect, interest, support and understanding, and it is also important that the education worker role models appropriate and desired behaviours for the children. Communicating effectively with children is important to build an effective relationship. It is also important to know the stages of development for all the children that you are Woking work with so the education worker can effectively communicate with the children in a way that they are able to understand and comprehend the message or directions given regardless of whether or not they are working with a child who is just starting school or with an older child(ren) with special
By starting early with your child, children can “infuse these lessons into the rest of their lives” (Capital, 2007). The journal article “Positive reinforcement to encourage respect” looks at the pros of positive reinforcement. Not only can positive reinforcement be used in homes, but also at school. The author concludes by saying, "I would advise anyone that you don't give up; you continue working with the kid whether it takes one, five, 10 or 20 times. You continue to provide positive reinforcement” (Capital, 2007).
Teachers have a significant role with the children; they are their leader in learning and development. Teachers have to plan effectively so the students will be able to learn and grow from the different activity’s this it why it is important that teacher take the responsibility and know the goals of the programs and their curriculum so they can plan accordingly. Establishing reciprocal relations with the parents of a child are important. Teacher should seek to know more about the families and their culture. With this information’s teachers are able to enhance the curriculum. Communication is the key when it comes to relationships with
All children have many characteristics that make them unique, yet they have a lot in common. All children have specialized needs at some point in their life. “When children have diverse needs, whether temporary or permanent, there is a danger of considering only how different those needs make them; educators may lose sight of how much they resemble other children. When that happens, the educator may forget these children have the same basic ...
It is important that parents and family members behave in a positive manner in front of the child since young children adapt to what they see around and learn from their elders. Reward the child for his positive behavior in order to encourage him to continue his positive actions. For Example: during meals if a child is being difficult to handle it could be helpful to give the child an interesting toy to play with so the child would be happier during the meal and easier to
In this unit, I have described how important it is for every child to be treated as an individual. A child will learn, be confident and self-assured if they feel safe, happy, valued and accepted. It is important that every child has their individual needs met so that they are able to progress in their development. I have explained how important a key person’s role is in an early years setting in supporting children and their families. Activities should always be differentiated so that all children including children with disabilities and impairments are included in all activities. It is important that children are kept safe and secure to promote their physical and emotional well-being. All these factors put together are important when viewing every child as a unique individual.
