Managing Behaviour
Understand what positive behaviour support looks like at an early years or school setting. Explore strategies to reduce challenging behaviour and help children regulate their 'big emotions'. This course also covers modelling positive behaviour, and when challenging behaviour may be a cause for concern.
Learning outcomes
- You will understand the factors that can influence children's behaviour and emotional wellbeing
- You will acknowledge the important role that parents/carers play in helping children to behave appropriately and be emotionally stable
- You will know that children's behaviour may be a form of communication
- You will understand the importance of positive relationships, consistency, and role modelling in supporting children's behaviour
Advantages of this course
- Most children want to behave in a positive and appropriate way. However, there are occasions when children may struggle to manage their emotions, communicate their needs, or cope with challenging situations. Behaviour can often be a form of communication, reflecting a child's stage of development, experiences, or unmet needs. Understanding the reasons behind behaviour can help adults provide appropriate support, build positive relationships, and help children develop the skills they need to manage their emotions and behaviour effectively.
- The learning in this course emphasises that positive behaviour should be encouraged, and defines inappropriate behaviour as that which affects others in a negative way. However, expectations of behaviour should be realistic. Age and stage of development should be taken into account, as should social and cultural background.
- The course recommends that positive attention should be the reward for positive behaviour
- Additional activities encourage you to reflect on your learning
- There is also suggested extended reading that gives both practical information and links to websites to expand knowledge
