Understanding & Responding to Challenging BehaviourPooky Knightsmith
Behaving in a socially acceptable way can be tricky for some children some of the time. In this guide, we’ll consider first how and why to look beyond the label of ‘bad behaviour’ to gain a better understanding of what is going on for our child. Then we'll consider how we can respond in an appropriate way and support our child to reduce the frequency and intensity of tricky behaviours.
Towards the back of this guide, you'll find a behaviour journal and a behaviour change plan. These are designed to be printable and copiable; feel free to copy, use and share them.
Cherry-pick the ideas that you think might work for you and give them a go. You can always revisit others later if you need to.
Good luck!

ECE201: INTRODUCTION TO EARLY CHILDHOOD BEHAVIOR
WEEK THREE INSTRUCTOR GUIDANCE
Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction.
-Anne Sullivan
Welcome to Week THREE of ECE201!!
As we learned last week, all children display challenging behaviors. This is a normal part of development. When children have a difficult time controlling their emotions adults need to provide positive and clear guidance. Seems simple right?
Well, as anyone who has worked with children knows, it can be more difficult then it seems. Fortunately, there are research-based approaches and guidance strategies that adults can use to help children manage their behavior.
As the quote above suggests, using guidance strategies that are based on respect and empathy for children is a key part of your role as an ECEC professional. Far more than they need instruction and lectures, punishment and consequences, children need sympathy and guidance in their quest to manage themselves and to take their place gracefully and joyfully as fully functioning members of their families, their peers, and their communities.
Overview of the Learning Week
This week we focus our learning on approaches and strategies to guiding young children’s behavior that are both respectful and effective. As an ECEC professional your knowledge about how children learn and grow will provide a foundation for using these strategies in ways that are developm ...

6 peer responses due in 18 hours
Each set of 2 responses will have its own instructions..
Guided Response:
Respond to one peer in this Discussion Forum. Read the challenging behavior scenario they have created and use the Developmental Discipline guidance strategy to problem solve. You must include the following in your response: child’s name, how you will approach the child, possible reminder or private sign, describe how you provide time and space, an example of self-talk that can help the child problem solve, and a choice you can offer the child. Additionally, can you use humor to defuse the situation? If so, how? If not, why?
My post:
Collaborative problem solving is one of the guidance strategies to address challenging behaviors. This strategy is based on the notion that a child does not just behave undesirably. There must be a reason for such behavior. Thus, understanding why the child is having a challenging behavior is the start towards addressing this behavior (Schaubman, Stetson, & Plog, 2011). The focus is on building skills like problem-solving, flexibility, and frustration tolerance rather than motivation the child to behave better. Surprisingly, children with challenging behaviors do not lack the will to behave in a desired manner. Simply, they do not have the skills necessary to behave in a desired manner. This information is vital to addressing challenging behaviors among children in the future. This would be achieved through identifying the challenging behaviors, skills needed to address the behaviors, and partnering with the child to build these needed skills (
Kaiser & Sklar Rasminsky, 2017
). This strategy would help address Olivia’s disruptive behavior, impulsivity and addressing peers negatively. Reward and punishment may not work on Olivia. Thus, Olivia needs to develop skills to address her behaviors (Schaubman et al., 2011). One of the skills to develop is social skills to enable her to control her impulsivity, connect with others, and relate with her peers positively. Apart from this strategy, time-out or time-away would address Olivia’s challenging behaviors. A scenario portraying Olivia’s challenging behavior is her inability to wait for her turn during a group activity. She is always blurting out answers before her turn arrives. How can this be solved?

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

9 Practical Strategies to Decrease Impulsive Behavior in Children
1. 9 Practical Strategies to
Decrease Impulsive Behaviors in
Children
Hi, everyone! This is Rachel Wise, licensed behavior specialist and
certified school psychologist. I am also the CEO of the free learning and
behavior website, educationandbehavior.com! Thank you for joining me
today to review 9 Practical Strategies to Decrease Impulsive Behaviors in
Children. You can read the article version of this presentation on
educationandbehavior.com at
http://www.educationandbehavior.com/decrease-impulsive-behavior-
children
2. Impulsive behaviors can make everyday situations challenging for your
child and the people in his/her life. Impulsive behaviors are defined as
actions that occur quickly and seem to happen without thinking or
considering the consequences. Children diagnosed with Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often engage in impulsive
behaviors, but impulsive behaviors do not necessarily indicate that a
person has ADHD.
3. Here are some examples of impulsive behaviors:
-Hitting someone or throwing objects when angry
-Jumping off a dangerously high surface
-Throwing papers in class
-Running around in the library
-Grabbing materials off the shelf in a store
-Interrupting/Disrupting others while they are talking or working
-Stealing
4. Now we will discuss nine strategies to decrease impulsive behaviors.
1. Outline behavioral expectations for upcoming situations. Talk about what
behavior should look and sound like and what the activity will consist of.
For instance, if you are going to a restaurant, talk about what will happen
when you get there (e.g., wait to be seated, look at the menu, order your
food, etc.) and what your child’s behavior should look like (e.g., using an
inside voice, speaking respectfully while inside the restaurant, waiting nicely
for their food). Give your child specific positive feedback when you see
him/her following the behavioral expectations appropriately (e.g., you are
waiting very nicely for the food).

5. 2. Work with your child to develop self-awareness about his/her
behavior and problem-solving skills. When you and your child have a
free moment to talk and are both in a relaxed mood, help your child get
to know his/her impulsive times, how it affects himself and others, and
what alternative behaviors he/she could consider.
6. Things to think/talk about when exploring self-awareness with your
child as it relates to impulsive behavior:
• when do you tend to act impulsively?
• how does it affect you?
• how does it affect others?
• what can you do to ensure you don’t make impulsive decisions during
your trouble spots?
• how can emotions affect impulsivity?
• what are some alternative ways to handle your emotions?
7. Research suggests that children with impulsive behaviors such as those
diagnosed with ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder show
improvement when consistently taught pro-social behaviors such as
how to conduct themselves in different situations, how to identify
problems and brainstorm solutions, and how to recognize which
behaviors may be undesirable in certain situations. For more on these
research studies see Evidence-based Psychosocial Treatment for ADHD
Children and Adolescents at
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4025987/
and Improving Treatment Outcome for Oppositional Defiant Disorder in
Young Children at http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ805556.pdf.
8. 3. Have your child reward him/herself with a preferred activity or
item, for getting through a specific time period (e.g., dinner, school, or
homework) without any impulsive behaviors (behaviors that disrupt
the environment or are hurtful/inconsiderate to themselves or others).
9. 4. Encourage your to child observe his/her environment to notice if
he sees/hears others acting impulsively. Talk about what the individual
could have done differently. Discuss the situation and alternatives.
10. 5. Talk about the differences between impulsive and non-impulsive
behaviors/decisions. Try to visualize through real-life examples (as in
the pictures below) what those differences look like. Act out, show
pictures, or draw different scenarios. There are a ton of images on
Google that illustrate impulsive and non-impulsive behavior. For a fun
activity, ask your child to draw a picture of someone engaging in
impulsive and non-impulsive behavior.
11. 6. Children who have more down-time/unstructured time are more
likely to engage in impulsive behaviors. Help your child plan his day so
he knows what to do with himself. Fill it with preferred activities
(playing outside, video games, coloring, music) and non-preferred
activities (homework, chores, etc.). Less down time = less impulsive
behaviors.

12. 7. Explain to your child that once you get to be an adult, impulsive
behaviors are often not tolerated in the work place or
community. Discuss real-life consequences, such as being fired, thrown
out, or arrested, for certain types of impulsive behaviors (e.g., throwing
things in a public place, hitting someone at work, etc.).
13. 8. Exercise. Studies show that regular exercise helps reduce anxiety, aggression, and
hyperactivity, which can all put you at risk for impulsive behaviors.
For more on these research studies see:
Effects of Exercise and Physical Activity on Anxiety at
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3632802/
The Effects of Weight-Training Exercise on Aggression Variables in Adult Male Inmates at

Exercise Improves Behavioral, Neurocognitive, and Scholastic Performance in Children with
ADHD at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3556380/

14. 9. Accept that you will not be able to make all impulsive behaviors go
away. Some individuals just have somewhat of an impulsive personality
and while you want to make behaviors more appropriate, you don’t
want to stop someone from being themselves. Everybody can be a little
impulsive at times and in certain situations it can be a good thing. Just
keep in mind that if it is inconsiderate, hurtful, or disrespectful to
themselves or others it should be addressed.
