This document discusses individualized and developmentally appropriate guidance for children's social and emotional development. It emphasizes understanding each child's unique strengths, weaknesses, temperament, and experiences. When addressing challenging behaviors, we must consider whether the child lacks knowledge, skills, or motivation before intervening. Functional analyses of behaviors can identify triggers and consequences to guide interventions that teach skills rather than punishments. The goal is supporting each child's social-emotional growth through observation, screening, and developmentally appropriate guidance.

Early ChildhoodDevelopmental Task of Early Childhood.docxmadlynplamondon
Early Childhood
Developmental Task of
Early Childhood
• Initiative vs. guilt
• Children use their (boundless) energy and
developing motor skills and interests to
take the initiative in trying new things
• Develop sense of purpose
• Key
• Self-regulation. Must learn self-control
Self-Regulation in Early
Childhood
What is Self-Regulation?
• Processes where we manage or modify our
thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
What is Self-Regulation?
• Processes where we manage or modify our
thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
• Many different types of self-regulation
• Emotional, attentional, behavioral, cognitive (thinking,
concentrating, working memory)
‘To Do, or Not to Do’
• Sometimes self-regulation is framed in terms of
• Don’t regulation
• Stop ourselves from doing something that we want to do
• Do regulation
• Do something that we don’t really want to do
Examples of Practicing Self-
Regulation
• Don’t regulation
• Not hitting, not taking someone’s toy, not yelling or
running inside
• Not running away in store
• Do regulation:
• Cleaning up, eating vegetables, going to sleep
Why is Self-Regulation Important?
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX_oy9614HQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX_oy9614HQ
Why is Self-Regulation Important?
• What did you observe the children do to not eat
the marshmallow?
• Why might this ability to ‘delay gratification’ be
important?
Why is Self-Regulation Important?
• Good self-regulationà Self-control or disciplined
behavior; lower impulsivity
• Aids social development
• Need for healthy social relationships, prosocial behavior
• Need for learning in school
Why is Self-Regulation Hard?
• Motivational system develops first
• Impulses are powerful and present at birth
• Energizes us to ‘approach’ (yum; curiosity) or ‘avoid’ (yuck)
• Includes emotions, fight/flight response
• Self-regulation system takes more time to develop
• Region of brain (prefrontal cortex; PFC) associated with self-
regulation develops more slowly
• The immature PFC is no match for impulses
Where Does Good Self-Regulation
‘Come From’?
• Self-regulation is a “muscle” that we can
exercise
• Practice – repeatedly over time – builds self-
regulation
• Eventually it is internalized and happens without
effort
What Influences the Development
of Self-Regulation?
• Biology (e.g., temperament)
• Parents
• Love: Child wants to comply
• Structure: Rules, limits are clear, consistent
• Autonomy support: Appropriate choices given
• Cognitive factors (e.g., memory)
• Nutrition
• Self-regulation takes energy (you need glucose)
External and Internal Regulation
As we develop,
External regulation à internal regulation
• External regulation = Structure!
• External: Coming from outside the child
• Adults assist in regulating behavior
• Internal regulation
• Child internalizes rules and can do it
themselves
• Still need structure, reminders

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 ...

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. How Do We Know?
• When a child has difficult behaviors. . .
•Does he/she not know any better?
•Is he/she lacking solid skills?
•Is he/she just being difficult and not
wanting to cooperate?
3. Individualizing for Social and Emotional
Skills
• Remember! How are children unique?
• As compared to other children
• Having individual strengths and weaknesses within himself/herself
• What makes them that way?
• Nature – sensory preferences; temperament
• Nurture – unique experiences; family
4. Sensory Preferences
• “the pattern of sensations that make him feel comfortable or
uncomfortable” (Katz, 2014)
• Sensory integration – how a person is able to process sensory
experiences for use – the interrelationship between the person and
the environmental stimuli
• Vestibular processing – “a person’s sense of balance and perception of his/her
body in space. . . That is processed in the inner ear.” (Katz, 2014)
• Impacts coordination, attention, etc.
• Proprioception – awareness of the position of one’s body
• Impacts a person’s movements
5. Case Study
• Read about “Kiki” on pp. 56 – 57
• Describe the strategies that her teachers implemented to help Kiki
reduce her incidences of biting?
• Think about Kiki’s behaviors. What do you think some of the
antecedents to her biting behaviors were? What do you think were
some of the maintaining consequences? How would you categorize
her biting behavior in terms of P-A-I-R?
• Think about the teachers’ behaviors. Describe an indirect strategy you
would use to teach Kiki her communication tools. Describe a direct
strategy you would use to teach Kiki her communication tools.
6. Temperament
• Look at the temperament chart on p. 43. For each temperament
characteristic, describe when that characteristic might be beneficial
for a child to have. Describe a scenario in which the characteristic
would not be a good fit. For online students, fill in the Wiki. Add a
2nd example if each section is full.
• How well does the child adapt to various environmental situations?
• Goodness-of-fit
• Between child and adult
• Between child and environmental demands
7. Health and Developmental History
• Are there any factors or complications that may have placed a child at risk
for developmental delays?
•
•
•
•
•
•
Prematurity?
Low birth weight?
Low APGAR score?
Complications at birth?
Chronic illness or allergies?
Developmental disabilities such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD)?
• ** Never “diagnose” or use the terms ADHD, ASD, or similar terms prior to
official diagnosis. It is only after the medical diagnosis (and none of us are
physicians) that these terms are appropriate to use.
8. Environmental History
• This refers to a child’s experiences, both past and current
• Chronic trauma and stress (toxic stress) is known to impact healthy
brain development negatively, including increased risk of PTSD like
symptoms (brain changes NPR report)
• We are required by law to report any suspicion of child abuse or
neglect to child protective services.
• Fight or flight response – a child who experiences toxic stress will
primarily respond from the brain stem (survival state) rather than the
limbic system (emotional state) or the prefrontal lobes (executive
state)
9. Resiliency
• Children with multiple resiliency factors are more likely to survive toxic
stress and trauma better than children with fewer resilience factors. Some
resiliency factors are:
• High intelligence
• Positive mood and temperament
• Secure attachment – usually a stable adult who has a close, positive influence (think
strong mother or grandmother, favorite teacher, etc.)
• Caring community
• Support network
• There are many others. These additional protective factors show up in
healthy family units.
10. Normal Stressors
• Normal stressors can impact a child’s behaviors negatively, even if it’s
a relatively benign stressor. Some examples are:
• New baby
• New house
• Changes in family routines like shift changes or new jobs
• An interruption in attachments may cause behavior problems, such
as:
•
•
•
•
Hospital stays of parent
Traveling or deployed parent
Turnover in caregivers
Other separations
11. Families
• Family dynamics – “the quality and nature of relationships within the
family – that is, how people relate to one another” (Katz, 2014)
• Work with families non-judgmentally and diplomacy
• Family expectations – what do they expect from your program?
• Are you able to articulate your philosophy of education? Why do you
do the things you do in your classroom?
12. Developmentally Appropriate Guidance
• Are the expectations and activities in the classroom developmentally
appropriate for all developmental domains?
• Play is necessary for holistic development of the child.
Developmentally appropriate play opportunities support the natural
social and emotional development of young children
• Appropriate guidelines for children in general may be found on
developmental milestone charts.
• Individual guidelines for children are found through appropriate
observations and screening that helps identify children’s strengths
and areas of need.
13. Developmental Screening and
Assessment
• Developmental screening – “a procedure used to determine if a
behavior pattern is aberrant enough to warrant further evaluation
and intervention” (Katz, 2014)
• If a child’s screening indicates a need for further evaluation, s/he is
referred for further testing.
• Evaluations are performed by specially trained professionals. These
specialists make individualized recommendations for treatment.
• Screenings also identify uneven development and provide a
framework for individualized planning purposes.
14. Challenging Behavior
• Challenging behaviors is a term that represents serious behaviors that
are “disruptive, offensive, dangerous, or destructive” (Katz, 2014)
• They are not behaviors we don’t like or that are annoying
• Most all behaviors can be categorized by
•
•
•
•
P - power
A - attention
I - inadequacy
R - revenge
15. Knowledge, Skill, or Will?
• They may also be classified as:
• Knowledge – “the child does not know and might not be expected to know
how to behave appropriately in a given situation” (Katz, 2014)
• Skill – a child may know what he/she is expected to do, but may not yet have
the skills to do what they are expected to do across similar situations. They
may not have generalized the skill or developed cognitive flexibility to use the
skills in less obvious situations.
• Look at the list of “Essential Life Skills” on pp. 66-67 in your text. How many of those do
you fail to demonstrate with mastery? I know I fail on many of those on regular
occasions!
16. Knowledge, Skill or Will (cont.)
• Skill (cont.) – social and emotional skills develop progressively, just as physical
and cognitive development progresses.
• As adults, we must recognize
• Is the behavior developmentally typical for a child of that age?
• If so, how can we foster the necessary skills the child needs?
• How can we avoid getting frustrated, especially if it’s a skill we should be helping the
child learn and practice? Do you get frustrated if a child can’t climb the steps one foot at
a time? If the child can’t write her name the first time you introduce it?
• Children often do not have the language or the ability to explain why they did or did not
do something. We cannot assume they are being willfully disobedient.
17. Knowledge, Skill, or Will (cont.)
• Will – a child willfully or intentionally deciding to behave in a certain manner,
having demonstrated the knowledge and the skill of an expected behavior across
situations
• Problem of will – the active choice to “defy expectations or authority”.
• If problem of will is suspected, a Functional behavior assessment (FBA) is in
order. The purpose of the FBA is to determine the purpose of the difficult
behavior and to determine the best way to approach the behavior, all in a
systematic fashion.
• A functional analysis (FA) is a direct observation of the child in a variety of
situations, settings, and times to identify the ABCs of the child’s behaviors
18. Observations for a Functional Analysis**
• Antecedents – What are the triggers that lead up to or that occur
prior to the behavior?
• Behavior – What is the behavior? How long does it last? What is the
intensity of the behavior?
• Consequence – What is the maintaining consequence of the
behavior? In other words, what follows the behavior that may
increase the likelihood of the behavior occurring again?
• All of the information must be written as objectively as possible.
Describe the event so that a reader can visualize what you saw. Use
direct quotes if applicable. Do not use subjective terms or judgmental
terms
**this information is very helpful for your targeted assessment!
19. Observations for a Functional Analysis
(cont.)
• Through careful observations and identification of the ABCs of behavior,
patterns in the behaviors can be discerned
• Clear descriptions of the behavior assist our analysis of the behavior and
aid us in implementing the most appropriate interventions
• Identifying the maintaining consequences keeps us from repeating
behaviors that will cause the child to repeat the inappropriate behaviors.
• Look at Figures 4.4 – 4.6 on pp. 70 – 71 in your text for helpful guiding
questions. These will be very helpful as you complete your observations!
20. What We Know!
• We must consider the social and emotional development of children
as seriously as we consider their cognitive, language, and physical
development
• When behaviors occur that we want to address, we must consider
• Does the child just need more information?
• Does the child need additional support and help learning specific skills across
situations?
• Do we need to address a child’s motivation for behaving in certain ways?
• Do we have the skills to complete a functional analysis if needed?
• Do we recognize that young children have limited coping skills? It is
up to us to help them develop appropriate coping skills!
