Reasons for Misbehavior
Children misbehave for a number of reasons. There are questions to ask yourself as you think about their misbehavior.
Let's Review:
GUIDANCE = goal is education and redirecting
PUNISHMENT = goal is hurting, shaming or intimidating children
Understanding and Responding to Misbehavior
(adapted from pages 71-72 of the Child Care Center Licensing Guidebook)
Children are not born with inner self-controls. They learn behaviors through observing the people in their lives. They need to learn to manage their feelings and emotions in socially acceptable ways. Child care providers are important role models for these children and are in a position to help them acquire self regulation skills.
Anything a child does is “behavior” and all behaviors of children are purposeful and happen for a reason. However, sometimes children behave in ways that are destructive, inappropriate, or otherwise unacceptable. Caregivers must respond to these behaviors positively and respectfully.
