Challenging Behavior
The net of the sleeper catches fish.
Greek Proverb
In her article, "We Are All in this Together: Supporting Children's Social Emotional Development and Addressing Challenging Behavior," which is one of 20 articles in the digital Exchange Essentials, "Children with Challenging Behavior," Mary Louise Hemmeter suggests programs should develop appropriate guidance practices for children based on the following philosophy statements: - Children are in the process of learning acceptable behavior.
- An effective guidance approach is preventative because it respects feelings while addressing behavior.
- Adults seek to understand reasons for children's behavior.
- A supportive relationship between an adult and a child is the most critical component of effective guidance.
- Adults use forms of guidance and group management that help children learn self-control and responsiveness to the needs of others.
- Adults model appropriate expressions of their feelings.
- Adults make needed adjustments to a child's environment or schedule to meet his or her needs.
