Guidance and You
As a child care professional, your personality will affect the behavior of the children in your care. Many studies have been conducted to determine the effect that specific personality traits have on children’s behavior. These studies show that effective early childhood teachers encourage and show interest in children. These teachers use more suggestions than commands. Children respond faster to suggestions than commands.
According to research, child care professionals should interact often with the children in care and ask open-ended questions. These questions require more than one-word answers. Children in this type of environment will show certain positive characteristics. These include independence, verbalization, cooperation, task persistence, and high self-esteem.

Model pro-social behaviors
Children will imitate your example, so let it be a positive one. Studies also note that uncooperative child care professionals have more hyperactive, disruptive, and bored children. On the other hand, children in the programs with talkative child care professionals have children who interact easily with others. Aggressive and attention-seeking behavior on the part of the children is also influenced by the child care professional. This behavior occurs most often with permissive teachers. Such teachers often fail to get involved with or stop aggressive and attention-seeking behavior. The children who behave this way may see the child care professional’s lack of involvement as permission to engage in such behavior |
