Change Child Behavior: 3 Proven Ways To Make Your Kid Behave
1) Be a positive role model and avoid violence and negative behaviors in front of children.
2) When correcting bad behavior, show compassion by explaining what they did wrong and why rather than just reprimanding.
3) Reward good behavior occasionally but ignore bad behavior by not giving attention until an apology, keeping an eye on their safety.
A dozen ideas to protect your little daughter
The document provides a dozen tips for parents to protect their young daughters from harassment and abuse in today's environment. It advises teaching children about "good touch vs bad touch", carefully handling complaints about relatives, supervising tuition and play, ensuring safe transportation, and being vigilant of servants and strangers who could take inappropriate photos or videos. Overall, the tips emphasize supervising children, teaching bodily autonomy, and ensuring they know to seek help from trusted adults if they feel unsafe.
Reinforcer and punishment
The document discusses the four types of reinforcement and punishment that can impact behavior: positive reinforcement involves adding something desirable after a behavior to increase its likelihood; negative reinforcement involves removing something undesirable after a behavior to increase that behavior; positive punishment involves adding something undesirable after a behavior to decrease its likelihood; and negative punishment involves removing something desirable after a behavior to decrease that behavior.

3) The document suggests that educating girls worldwide could help solve many social issues and positively impact communities.
HIV/Aids youth lesson
The document discusses various ways HIV/AIDS can and cannot be transmitted. It notes that HIV can be transmitted through unprotected sex, oral sex with sores in the mouth, from mother to child during birth, using contaminated drug needles, sharing sharp objects like razors with an infected person, rape or sexual abuse, or receiving contaminated blood. However, it cannot be transmitted through everyday casual contact like breathing the same air, touching, hugging, sharing food or other items, swimming pools, pets, sports without bleeding wounds, restaurants, or donated blood (which is screened). The document also provides scenarios for group work discussing risky situations a character named Thembi may encounter.
Child Abuse Prevention Association
The Jackson County Child Abuse Prevention Association works to prevent and treat child abuse through education, family support, and counseling. They helped over 12,000 children and families in 2008 by providing services to strengthen relationships and promote healing.

The 5 W’s of Behaviour
Woods Homes provides mental health services to children and families in Calgary and surrounding areas. They have partnered with the Calgary Catholic School District to provide treatment to children experiencing behavioral and emotional challenges through "Starting Points" classrooms in mainstream elementary schools. Understanding a child's behavior requires knowing their family history, any diagnoses or medications, home and school environments, triggers, warning signs, strengths, and motivations. As adults working with children, it is important to be proactive, set clear expectations, offer choices, and avoid power struggles by de-escalating situations before a full crisis occurs.

Service learning project 2
Jasmine Lenoir volunteered at the Elijah Dillard Elite Warriors, an organization founded to raise awareness about child abuse and provide children a safe place to play and learn. As a volunteer, she helped supervise activities, provide advice to youth, and escort children to cars at the end of the day. Through this experience, Jasmine learned how to better relate to adolescents and their struggles, while also recognizing the impact that economic status and neighborhood environment can have on a child's social development. She gained insight into how helping children achieve small goals can contribute to a brighter future.

Five ways to help your child if they are being bullied at
Let us protect our children
- 1. An honest initiative to gift a beautiful childhood to all the children of the world
- 2. The news of child sexual abuse is becoming a common event. How can we allow something like this to happen to an innocent child? Let us all come together & put an end to this growing menace of child abuse.We all have an awesome responsibility to gift a beautiful world to our children.
- 3. I strongly feel, we need a holistic solution to end this abuse. It will not be enough, if schools alone improve their security standards. Everyone has to come together. Everyone –You, Me, the Government, Police, Media, Schools, Colleges, Social Organisations, Society, etc must come together and play our part to gift a beautiful childhood to our children, uninterrupted by any perverts.
- 4. There is anger all around and let us channelize our anger in the direction, where we have more control.Yes, let us travel an extra mile in protecting our children. Few suggestions on how we can travel an extra mile in protecting our children...
- 5. It is said that a pervert, a thief or a terrorist always test his waters before doing the act. Most of the time, when anyone is molested or exploited, a pervert has confirmed himself that the child can be exploited. So, the child may know that something is going wrong but doesn’t know what it is. It is very important that we have a sharing environment at home. The child doesn’t share, if you just ask them to share. But the child voluntarily shares, if he or she finds the parents sharing even the smallest of things. Let the child see parents sharing & that will give the comfort zone for the child to share everything which is happening in his or her life.
- 6. Complaining is considered as a bad habit. But when the child complains of anything, don’t ignore it. I have seen parents saying that ‘Don’t bring your complaints to me’. Actually, what they are meaning is, ‘Don’t bring your complaints when you are playing with your friends’. But what the child understands is, ‘My parents are asking me not to share any complaints or problems’. Since, you repeatedly state this, the child will have concerns to share her complaints of exploitation or even some personal difficulties, which she is going through. When a child shares or complains, listen to the complaint and then give your answer. Demonstrate compassion to the child & don’t be judgemental. Let the child be comfortable of sharing or complaining anything to you.
- 7. Who is a pervert? It is very difficult to find out. But, after playing with someone or after coming home, if the child is a bit unusual or silent, don’t ignore that message. Hold the child close to your arms & try to understand what has happened. Never allow the child to go to someone’s house, where he or she was uncomfortable.
- 8. As we don’t know, who is going to exploit the child, let us be proactive in protecting our child a bit more. Maybe, an overcoat or an additional pant along with the skirt can help. As we don’t dare to cross the traffic signal, even if one constable is standing, similarly, for the child, an overcoat or an additional pant can play the role of a constable in protecting the child.
- 9. Let us not grow our children as timid souls. Let us teach them to be courageous. Let us train them to stand up for what they believe is right.Tell them, it is ok to scream & shout, if something goes wrong.Today, we purchase cars, with an inbuilt mechanism of making loud noises, when someone else tries to take it. Our children need this inbuilt mechanism. Let us encourage the child to speak up.
- 10. Introduce the child to a Higher Force in the early childhood. The higher force could be God or Universe or Nature orTruth or Principles or Standpoints or a Cause. It could be anything, which can carry the child along. It is very true that negative forces tend to find it difficult to come close to an energy carried by a Higher Force.When HE is always there to protect us, then why to underutilise Him.Teach the child to embrace God.
- 11. As I stated in the beginning, let us all come together. Let us do our part & do extra to gift a beautiful childhood & as well as a beautiful world to our children. It is a time to come together. Let everyone –You, Me, Government, Police, Media, Schools, Colleges, Social Organisations, Society, etc come together and collaborate to end this menace of child abuse. Come, let us begin.
