U NDERSTANDING AND RESPONDING TO CHILDREN S BEHAVIOUR These questions require you to demonstrate your knowledge of: techniques to guide children’s behaviour using a strengths-based approach how to recognise situations where further support or intervention may be required Question 14 Textbook reference Birth to Big School (5th edition) by Karen Kearns Chapter 6 (pp. 194-196) a. Explain why it is useful for educators to consider the concept of ‘mistaken behaviour’ rather than ‘misbehaviour’. Children who misbehave are given labels by teachers, but those who make mistakes are not. While wrong behaviour suggests that kids are still learning, inappropriate behaviour suggests that the youngster already possesses the emotional and social skills necessary to handle complicated situations. b. In relation to Porter’s concept of ‘inconsiderate behaviour’, briefly explain the difference between primary behaviours and secondary behaviours. Primary behaviours emerge from the child's emotional state and can be explained by common enthusiasm, common exploration, loss of self-control, and Children's secondary behaviours, or "the three Rs": rebellion, resistance, and revenge, are their responses to attempts to address their basic habits.

Question 15 Textbook reference Birth to Big School (5th edition) by Karen Kearns Chapter 6 (pp. 217-225) Read the scenario and use the B.E.T.L.S tool to explain the child’s behaviour. Kasih Kasih (4.4 years) is playing in the dramatic play area. Her voice can be heard above all others. ‘I’m the mother and you have to do what I say!’ An argument erupts as the other children tell Kasih she’s ‘ not the boss’; ‘go away Kasih we don’t like you anymore!’ Kasih begins to take the dolls from the other children . ‘You can’t have a doll if you don’t do what I say!’ Educator Ellen intervenes . ‘Kasih, we share the dolls at child-care. Please give them back.’ ‘No, they don’t know how to play,’ protests Kasih. ‘I’m the mother and they have to do what I say!’ Ellen offers Kasih a choice: return the dolls or leave the area. Kasih, with hands on hips, stares defiantly at Ellen. Ellen returns the dolls to the other children and tells Kasih to leave the dramatic play area. Kasih crosses her arms and stomps over to the library area and throws herself face down on the lounge. Ellen focuses her attention on the other children and then after a few moments goes and sits with Kasih. They read a few books together and then Ellen talks to Kasih about how she can play cooperatively with others. Ellen: Kasih, when you yelled at the other children because they wouldn’t do what you wanted, they got really upset with you. Kasih: I know but they don’t know how to play mothers and fathers. Ellen: Well, maybe they just want to play a different way and that’s okay. CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care Page 9 of 37

Kasih: But I know the best way so they should listen to me. Ellen: When you yell at your friends, they don’t want to play with you. Maybe you need to listen to your friends. Kasih: They’re not my friends anymore! Ellen realises that Kasih does not yet have the skills to consider her actions from the perspective of others. For Kasih, there are no shades of grey!

Textbook reference Birth to Big School (5th edition) by Karen Kearns Chapter 6 (pp. 201-205) Read the scenario and answer the questions below. Rory Rory (2 years 11 months) has just moved up from the 2-3’s room to the 3-4’s room. Rory is an only child and he is still developing his self-regulation skills. He finds it difficult to share play materials and play spaces and has limited social skills. If he wants something, he simply takes it and then become upset if another child objects. The educator observes Rory take a train and some carriages from the track that Evan and Zavier (3.6 years) are building. Evan jumps up and takes the train and carriages off Rory. ‘Give them back. We had them first!’ Rory attempts to snatch them back and when this fails he throws himself on the floor, crying and screaming. a. List three factors that the educator should consider when responding to Rory. (e.g. consider Rory’s stage of development, personality and the social/physical environment). 1. developing self-regulation skills 2. limited social skills 3.difficult to share play materials and play spaces CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care Page 13 of 37
b. How can the educator respond to Rory’s distress in a way that demonstrates respect, reassurance and kindness? Showing to kids that you are familiar with them by, for instance, assisting them in identifying their feelings and providing them with the necessary support and assistance to deal with those feelings. Question 19 Read the scenario and answer the questions. Joseph Joseph (3 years 4 months) is the youngest of three boys. Joseph’s family are active, sporty and outgoing. His parents describe Joseph as ‘the odd one out’. They worry about him and wonder how he can be ‘so different to the rest of the family’. His parents report that he doesn’t like engaging in rough and tumble play like his brothers and doesn’t like outdoor games. At home he prefers to play in his room with his Lego or trainset, draw or read books. Joseph has a number of sensory issues: He can’t tolerate loud noises. He squats and places his hands over his ears. He will only wear soft, loose fitting clothing. He refuses to wear socks and will only wear his felt slippers. Educator Mitch has observed the following: Joseph has a ‘slow to warm up’ temperament - when arrives each day he likes to sit on the lounge and observe for around 15 minutes before talking to anyone or deciding on an activity. Joseph likes to position himself in quieter areas such as the library, the science area or the CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care Page 14 of 37
literacy corner. Although Joseph is a friendly child, he finds it difficult to play with groups of children (e.g. block or dramatic play) and instead prefers to play alone or with one other child. With the exception of social interactions, Joseph is progressing well in all domains of development. Joseph likes to read, draw, do challenging puzzles play with construction sets where he often creates elaborate structures. What Mitch plans to do ‘Joseph’s auditory (sound) and tactile (touch) sensitivity restrict his ability to interact and play with other children. I think an occupational therapist could help him to manage these sensory issues. I also think it would help Joseph if I rearranged the playroom to create private nooks and quiet spaces for him and a friend to play.’ a. Suggest why Joseph’s parents are worried about his behaviour. Joseph’s parents are are concerned about him and perplexed by how he might be unique from the rest of the family and he doesn't enjoy rough play as his brothers does, nor does he enjoy outdoor gâmes. b. How does Joseph react to the physical environment at home and at the service? CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care Page 15 of 37

Joseph thinks loud noises intolerable. He crouchs down and covers his ears with his hands. Only soft, loose-fitting garments shall be worn by him. He exclusively wears his felt slippers and won't wear socks . c. How is Joseph’s temperament described? When he first arrives each day, Joseph likes to relax on the lounge and prefers to place himself in quieter locations like the library, the science area, or the reading corner. Joseph has a temperament that is "slow to warm up." Although Joseph is a pleasant child, he has trouble playing with other kids in groups. d. How is Joseph’s personality described? Joseph enjoys reading, drawing, solving complex puzzles, and playing with construction toys, where he frequently builds complex constructions. Only soft, loose-fitting garments shall be worn by him. He exclusively wears his felt slippers and won't wear socks. e. What should Mitch share with the occupational therapist about Joseph’s sensory issues? Joseph's capacity to engage and play with other kids is limited by his auditory (sound) and tactile (touch) sensitivity. Mitch believe he could manage these sensory challenges with the aid of an occupational therapist. CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care Page 16 of 37
. f. Why does Mitch believe that creating private nooks and quiet spaces might assist Joseph? Joseph's capacity to engage and play with other kids is limited by his auditory (sound) and tactile (touch) sensitivity. He could manage these sensory challenges with the aid of an occupational therapist. Additionally, Mitch believe it would be beneficial for Joseph if I reorganised the playroom to include quiet corners and areas for Joseph and a friend to play. g. Based on Josephs interests, strengths and knowledge, list two items Mitch could add to the private nook and quiet spaces? Rearrange the playroom Occupational therapist Question 20 CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care Page 17 of 37
Read the scenario and answer the questions below. Story time Every day before lunch the educator gathers the children together in the 3’s room to read stories and sing songs/rhymes. The educator knows that this has a calming effect on the children and helps them to settle down for the afternoon period. Before she begins her story the educator reviews the morning program. ‘We’ve had a very busy morning. I saw Jonty, Ellam and Cooper, building roads in the sandpit. I saw Nell and Maisy climbing to the top of the climbing frame.’ (The educator continues until each child has been mentioned). Today the educator reads a favourite story, ‘Where is the green sheep?’. The children happily join in the story. Next the educator uses a range of picture props for the monkey rhyme which the children also love – they shout out the repetitious section of the rhyme on cue. As the educator is working with the children she uses a range of tones in her voice and a number of different facial expressions. The educator also makes eye contact with the children as she scans the group. When Milly stands and moves closer to the lounge the educator simply continues with the story. Milly has just moved up to the 3’s room from the 2’s group. When children make comments or talk to others, the educator continues as she knows the children will return their attention to her. To conclude the session the educator asks Callum to nominate a song to sing. ‘Callum, it’s your turn today to pick a song for us to sing. Can you think of what song you would like?’ Callum does not respond immediately so other children begin to make suggestions. Educator: Thank you for all your good ideas. That might help Callum as he’s thinking. Callum then says, ‘Let’s sing the cowboy song!’ Educator: Great choice Callum! a. What does the educator do to make every child feel ‘special’ and included? While working with the kids, the teacher makes a variety of facial expressions and utilises a variety of speech tones. As she searches the gathering, the instructor also makes eye contact with the kids. CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care Page 18 of 37

b. How does the educator engage the children in the story time session? Where Is the Green Sheep? is one of the educator's favourite stories to read. The kids eagerly participate in the narrative.The youngsters enjoy the monkey rhyme, which is used next by the teacher, and they shout out the repetitive part of it when the teacher cues it. c. Explain why the educator does not ask Milly to sit down but allows her to stand nearby? The teacher is aware that this calms the kids and encourages them to relax before the afternoon lesson. d. The educator has a strategy in place which allows each child in turn to suggest a song/rhyme for the group to sing. How does this support the children’s sense of belonging? This article will assist teachers in managing group time, including knowing what to do and using group time management techniques.

Kasih is described by her father as his ‘little princess’. Her mother says ‘Kasih is spirited’. About Kasih Kasih presents as a confident child. She spends a great deal of her time at the service engaged in dramatic and small world play where she uses her imagination to create elaborate stories. Kasih is often reluctant to help pack away play equipment and has difficulty sharing play spaces and play equipment. Kasih likes to take the lead in play and finds it difficult to collaborate/cooperate with others. When her peers disagree with her, she often becomes angry. She uses a stern, loud voice and demands that others comply with her wishes. This has led to many arguments and often other children refuse Kasih lacks age-appropriate self-regulation - she responds with verbal aggression when her peers refuse to follow her directions; she finds it difficult to share; she is unwilling to cooperate with house-keeping tasks such as putting things away or helping to tidy up. When educator Tia approached Mr & Mrs Guret about her concerns, they were dismissive. ‘She is just a determined, spirited child. She is a natural leader. Of course, other children will find her challenging but that does not mean that Kasih should be made to change. She is strong and in our culture that is a good thing. As a child of colour Kasih will face challenges as she gets older. If she is to overcome these challenges she must be confident and strong.’ The Director’s perspective Tia shared the Mr & Mrs Guret’s comments with her supervisor who responded: ‘ They responded to your concerns from their own cultural perspective and we have to respect their beliefs. Our challenge is to find a way to help Kasih modify her behaviour while she’s at the service. It’s important to help her develop the skills she needs to get along with other children and participate as part of the group. It’s not unreasonable to expect Kasih to meet our behaviour standards while she is at the service. I suggest we develop goals for Kasih around cooperation and collaboration to develop her self-regulation skills .’ The comments made by Tia’s supervisor reflect: 6.1.2 Parent views are respected. The expertise, culture, values and beliefs of families are respected and families share in decision-making about their child’s learning and wellbeing. a. How is Kasih’s behaviour regarded by her parents? Kasih looks to be a confident youngster.

world games at the church, using her imagination to come up with complex storylines. She is unwilling to cooperate with house-keeping tasks such as putting things away or helping to tidy up. b. How is Kasih’s behaviour regarded by the educators? The educators said about Kasih is simply a vibrant, determined kid. She naturally takes the lead. Of course, she will be difficult for other kids, but that does not mean Kasih needs to change. She is strong, which is positive in our culture. c. Using two-three dot points explain why both the beliefs of the family and the beliefs of the educators are valid. 1. It's crucial to assist her in acquiring the abilities required to get along with other kids and take part in group activities. 2. Expecting Kasih to behave appropriately while she is at the service is acceptable. d. Explain why it is important for the educators to support Kasih to develop her social skills. It's crucial to assist her in acquiring the abilities required to get along with other kids and take part in group activities.

help her improve her self-control. e. To answer this question you will need to refer to your Reading : National Quality Standard Handout. The goals for Kasih focus on assisting her to build responsive relationships with her peers and the development of age-appropriate self-regulation skills. With reference to the NQS Handout, identify the element from ‘QA5: Relationship with children’ that most closely reflect the goals for Kasih. National Quality Standard supports connections with kids that are responsive, polite, and help kids feel secure and like they belong. These kinds of connections provide kids more time to play, learn, and explore their surroundings. CHC30121 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care Page 25 of 37

Question 23 Read the scenario and answer the questions below. Well, it’s not me! It is mid-October and the preschool group (4.9 – 5.4 years) at Blue Bay Early Learning Centre are all moving on to ‘big school’ next year. Recently, the educators have struggled with an increase in challenging behaviours. Educator Lisa talks to the children about their behaviour. ‘Lately I’ve noticed that some children are hurting each other and making other children upset.’ Several of the children call out things like, ‘Yeah. Well it’s not me!’ or, ‘Max is always naughty!’ Lisa replies, ‘Well, Sophie (the other educator in the room) and I have decided that we are going to ask for your help to fix the problem. Do you think you can do that?’ The children agree so Lisa moves on . ‘Good. The first thing we need to decide is what behaviour we don’t want to see. You tell me what you think and Sophie will write it on this big piece of paper.’ The children make suggestions which Sophie records. ‘Now let’s talk about the behaviours we do want to see.’ As the discussion proceeds Lisa and Sophie ensure that each child is given the opportunity to make a contribution. ‘Thank you Leah. Now it’s Caleb’s turn. What would you like to say Caleb?’ ‘Wow! Thank you everyone. You’ve come up with some really good ideas ! Let’s think about how we can help each other with these ideas. Explain why the decision to involve the children in a discussion about their behaviour reflects ‘NQS Quality Area 5 Relationships with children’ – Elements 5.1.1 and 5.2.1. QA 5.1.1 Responsive and meaningful interactions build trusting relationships which engage and support each child to feel secure, confident and included. QA 5.2.1 Children are supported to collaborate, learn from and help each other. Student tip Your explanation should include a minimum of two key points.
