Section 1: Behaviour and The Early Childhood Context
One year- mid 2’s Educators are expected to respect and care for
children alongside having patience and sense of
humour. They should refer offering choices to
children, which would likely to lead children
toward developing independence and
limitations.
Mid 2’s – mid 4’s Respect and care should be shown for children
as well patience and sense of humour are to be
owned. They are to set limits firm and
consistent. Educators are suggested to discover
with children together and aid them finding
answers to their own questions
Mid 3’s – 5 years Educators are likely to respect and care for
children and own patience and grasping power
to children alongside continuing firm and
consistent rules and expectations. Educators
must begin to use rational and logical
cooperation and thinking with children in order
to provide channels and opportunities for
developing intelligence of children.
Mid 4’s – 6 years Children are not only provided affection, clear
directions and expectations by educators, but
also provided various activities along with
encouraging children to try new things, so that
children can learn While doing. Children should
also be permitted to participate in planned
activities and do useful trivia and provide them
with opportunities to show off their skills.
Will power and self-control is to be increased in order that they might likely to be better
ready to wait, share stop, sit, still be during a group for extended hours of your time.
Alongside an increased understanding of appropriate and acceptable behaviour, the ability
to form judgement about the context or situation and which behaviour I appropriate to the
present.
Not only his ability to speak what they need and express their feeling in words, but also a
reduced need to be "hands on" and therefore the ability to face back and watch without
touching.
Improved memory and the ability to respect the requirements and rights of others better.
Section 2 establishing limits and guidelines
1. What are to be your beliefs in relation to behaviour? What are to be the behavioural goals
for your site?
2. How are your actions to encourage and support appropriate behaviours?
3. How are your actions to encourage as well as discourage inappropriate or unsafe
behaviours?
4. What are considered to be the rules for safety and fairness?
5. How would you likely to consult and inform families?
6. How would you refer children to be involved in setting behavioural expectations?
7. How may you to inform new and relief staff?
8. How would your site likely to review the policy and its effectiveness?
Answer:
Two or three simple rules may need to be proposed alongside explaining the reasons
behind them, and inviting their cooperation with three years olds.
• Most of the children are considered to be able to propose rules and discuss them
by the time they turn four years old.
• Ideally, classroom rules would not only made to be teacher- dictated. They must
consider to evolve from ideas which are discussed with as well as supported by
the children.
• The guidelines must refer to be stated as positive actions. Children are to be
assisted with wording that is used to say what they are interested to do, not
what they cannot do. To cite an example, instead of saying ‘no running’, read the
statement as ’Running is to be an outside activity. So, I walk inside’. Other
instance can be ‘I am to touch people gently’, ‘I am likely to communicate in a
quiet tone of voice’, ‘After, I completed with an activity, I put it back where from
I got it’
• After the rules have been established, opportunities are to be created to practice
them.
The rhyme which I would recommend to consider to be recited with four years old children to
reinforce them to helping with packing away. It would likely to be head, shoulders, knees and toes.
The lyrics of this rhyme is as below.
I would consider all the children to be sit in systematic manners and recite the rhyme.
Yong children are to be still learning regarding social rules and expected behaviours.
Yong children are just to be at early stage of generalizing about behavioural expectations.
Yong children are not considered as good at logical thinking as required.
Yong Children are led to be limited in their ability to predict events.
Yong Children are to be less successful at controlling their impulses.
Yong Children are not able in grasping the much about cause and effect.
It can be difficult for children to observe things from the point of view of other person.
Communication with families in regard to challenging behaviours which are considered taking
place at the earliest opportunity and proves to be framed as a positive opportunity toward
addressing behavioural needs of children within the group setting.
Support tends to be sought from departmental support services and other agencies.
The behaviours of children prove to be assessed over a range of informal and formal learning
activities and contexts.
Planning, implementation, monitoring and review of individual behaviour plans are considered to
occur in partnership with families as well as support services.
Program planning is likely to consider behavioural needs to be as part of planning for individual
children and groups.
i. Is george’s-------------------------behaviour?
i. Is tom’s-----------------------------behaviour?
Answer: As per the guidance continuum, the Level 4 – Step in or set limits
intervention should be applied.
Answer: Tom is taken into account to be asserting his power alongside position
over Mitchell. If ignored Tom is associated as not being encouraged toward
developing empathy for others. Tom shouldn't ask be made to incorporate
Mitchell in games but should be discouraged from name calling.
• Tom is to be firmly spoken and explained how his behaviour is probably
going to be affecting Mitchell. Have Tom and his friends explode and play while
you comfort Mitchell and help him to play together with his own age bracket.
Scenario C: my teddy!
i. Is Ellis------------------------behaviour?
Answer: As per the guidance continuum, the Level 7 – offer ideas intervention
should be applied in order to redirect and model which is age appropriate.
Ellis is considered to be displaying behaviour typical for his age which although,
proves to be appropriate to assert himself but not appropriate to be aggressive.
Ellis is not able to yet understand the impact that his behaviour which has on
others.
Ava would be made comfortable alongside searching her another Teddy. Ellis is
to be gently explained that he wants to play with that Teddy now but she could
have a turn after him.
Scenario D: bully?
i. Is Imran------------------------behaviour?
As per the guidance continuum, the not only Level 3 – act as reporter, but also level 5 –
ask questions, and 9 take action alongside interventions should be applied.
• Imran is sufficiently old to understand that pushing younger children isn't acceptable.
the very fact that he does it as how of interacting with others, due to his poor language
skills, isn't an excuse. it's probably a reason but doesn't mean that the behaviour is
suitable
• Say ‘Stop Imran” then tell him what to mention so as to hitch within the games together
with his peers. Give him the particular word to use. E.g. Imran is to be told “Imran, you
would want to mention ‘Could I to play too?’ than prefer to wait to ascertain what they
assert.” this is often teaching him what to try to and what to mention instead of just
telling him what he's doing wrong.
• Rights regarding property refer to not taking what somebody else is to own or is to be
using.
• Rights of space refer to not getting into space of someone else unless invited or
accepted
• The right to feel safe consider to not endangering someone else by our actions
The ability---------------------------of anger:
Showing anger during a way that tends not to hurt anybody or damage property.
i. Cool down which refer the children to be advised to take deep breaths and calm
down.
ii. Identifying the problem by asking each child to state their side of the problem as
well as how they are feeling.
iii. Ways are to be brainstormed to solve the problem. Each child is to be asked to
suggest a solution and the possible consequences of the solution. Boys are to be
encouraged to explore options and act as facilitator instead of solving the
problem for the boys. If they are not able to agree, options are to be offered for
discussion and agreement.
iv. Agreeing on solution and trying it refer to try the agreed solution and praise
efforts.
v. Follow up action is to be taken by commenting on how well the children are now
playing together, encouraging monitoring and guiding.
a) Suggest why------------------------------inappropriate.
• There are many reasons which are responsible behind the inappropriate intervention of
educators the first is educators’ reaction as he showed following inappropriate behaviour.
The educator was not to see what happened and made incorrect assumptions alongside
focusing on blaming rather than resolving.
• The educator did neither take the time to ask each child for an explanation nor engage the
girls in resolving the conflict
• The conflict was not only ovoid to be used as a learning opportunity, but also ignore to
acknowledge the girls as capable & resourceful
• He Did not respect the children and their right to be heard
• Moreover, the Use of Timeout was responsible for inappropriate behaviour of educator
which not only Isolates, embarrasses and humiliates, but Timeout also does not allow the
child to start over, timeout is likely to be punitive and considered not to assist the child to
learn new skills. Inaam was not treated fairly and ignored. Inaam was not only expected to
say ‘sorry’ without explanation, but the educator also took advantage of her power over the
children.
b) What do you------------------------------------------positive-Learning?
Admit that she was not to see what happened alongside asking the girls to explain the
situation
Inaam was checked that he was not injured
The girls are to be assisted to calm down
Girls are asked to suggest a solution
The girls are worked with on their suggestions
The girls are to be encouraged to continue their play
Section 5 functional assessment
Question 1 what is the ---------------------------the process?
It is led to be a process allowing adults to rethink challenging behaviours of children and therefore,
consider how best is likely to respond. It can be a helpful strategy where chronic behaviour has not
responded to other management strategies.
Valid
The stakeholder who may have access to documentation would include Colleagues,
Parents, Specialist support workers, Welfare officers, Health workers, Speech
pathologists and Occupational therapists.
• Educator should act in a professional and sensitive manner. Concerns should consider to
be balanced with some positive thoughts about the child. The message should not only
be one of concerns, but also offer a positive pathway.
• Educator is to be prepared for different reactions including defensive, blame the
educator, angry with the educator or child, embarrassed, upset or dismissive the
concerns as unfounded.
• Consider yourself to be well prepared. Parents are to be provided with written
observations of the behaviour of child.
• Concerns should be focused related to the present and future development of child. The
consequences of the behaviour should be explained as it is to relate to the child such as
the child are likely to continue to be isolated alongside having few friends, the
behaviours become able to be entrenched and habit forming and therefore the child is
considered to be missing out on valuable social as well as play experiences.
• Plenty of time is to be allowed for parents to take on board the educators concerns
• Be aware that the parents would likely want to meet again for further discussion
• Lead yourself to be prepared toward responding to parents’ questions and concerns
• some strategies should be kept in mind for working with parents
• Consider how to determine a collaborative partnership with parents to establish gaols in
order to address the behaviour of child.
• Consider what to do. should the parents to refuse acknowledging that there are
behaviour issues are recommended to be addressed.
Short term goals prove to be precise and likely to be designed to assist the child to achieve the long-
term goals. For instance, Sam can participate kicking soccer goals or shooting basketball hoops and
group time activities. Educator is capable to inspire him to share and take turns before speaking. But
on the other hand, long term goals are considered to be the behaviours that we would likely to hope
the child can achieve over time. To cite an example- Sam can practice turn taking and sharing the
resources.
The observations which are taken are to be gone through and the interest, strengths and need of
child are to be identified and then the activities and actions based on interest of child are to be
decided.
Educator must own the knowledge related to interests, strengths and behaviours of child which
would likely to take decision on the strategies and consequences.
The objective along and goals are clearly explained to everyone involved.
Not all educators agree that there is a problem
Child has been supported to understand the expectations of the behaviour plan
The child’s parents have been included in the discussion and planning.
The regular room leader will be away for the next six weeks on long service leave.
Printed copies of the behaviour plan have been distributed to all educators, directors
and the child’s parents.
The environment has been organised to minimise the potential for inappropriate
behaviour.
Not all educators have been informed of the behaviour plan.
A date has been set for a review meeting.
Educators know what observations and comments to record and where to record
them.
The educator and the family would be considered to work together in order to refine the
goals and set new objectives for the child during the process of monitoring and reviewing
the progress of child.
Educators would find the initial objectives were to be extremely overwhelming for the child
so required to be simplified or changed.
Educators could also consider to find that the child has modified his or her own behaviour in
some ways so that new objectives could be required.
Interpretation of observations
Self-esteem is increasingly poor as he focuses on the things and finds himself challenging
Fine motor skills are poor.
He is unable to relate to children of his own age and prefers younger or older children.
Assumed reason-------------------------behaviour
The first reason would be the pressure’s impact of family business like having busy
lifestyle of parents and lack of quality time with Jonty.
Multiple carers like parents, siblings, grandparents, and child care can be another reason.
Moreover, Jonty owns little or no control in his life as he does not like to spend much time
at home as a family unit.
Child was to be interested in dinosaurs, insects and sea life alongside enjoying reading
He was to prefer playing outdoors and have well-developed gross motor skills including
climbing, jumping, running, kicking etc.
He was to enjoy spending time with grandparents.
Activities-------------------------------------------child
Behaviour plan
The educators are recommended to consult with family and grandparents regarding the
behaviour plan. Jonty wants to play with babies and toddlers, instead of his age group or pears.
The long-term goal would likely to control his anger better and not let his aggressive behaviour
overpower him, another goal is to be try to keep calm behaviour.
The short-term goals would likely to be that Jonty is suggested to follow instructions gives by the
educators and make himself able to grasp that they want the best for him.
Activates are to be given to him so that he would enjoy doing and activities that are potential to
enhance the child-educator relationship and that are as per his interest.
In respect to setting second short-term goal, consider trying to become friends with children the
same age as him, as this would likely to assist his social and mental development as a child.
Activities -------------------------resources required.
Group play and activities are to be organised along side making all the children able to assist each
other in packing everything up.
Yes, I would like to sit him down and make him explain what he should enhance on, and how it
would likely to assist him.
I would consider the behaviour plan to be shown to other colleagues and explain why I am to
deem this is essential.
Date for --------------------review: every three months or at the moment whenever required
who would attend: not only parents, but also educators are to be involved.
