Focused Questions 51. I think the most common way I see teachers helping children is by being a role model. Show kids how to behave towards peers and authority figures. Children are very intuitive, they understand things very easily. So if you show respect to children, children will take that with them and show respect to others. I noticed that whenever a child was having trouble, one of the teachers would always get down to his level and talk to him, making sure to make eye contact and not talk over him but instead talk to him. Asking the child if something was bothering them and just working on focusing on that child and respecting how they felt seemed to really help the child calm down and realize that arguing and pushing to get what they want is not the best way to handle things. After the teacher talked to him, I noticed that he was more polite to other children and even offered to share his toys with other children who he fought with before. I think it also helped that the teacher not only respected the child, but did so in a loving way. He didn't act like he was better than the child or knew more, he was simply listening to him and speaking on his level. I think it's helpful to model acceptable behavior, but also do it in a loving way. Observe teachers respecting each other and working together to improve the classroom, listening to each other and exchanging advice on certain problems or changes they think may be necessary. Having teachers work together and respect each other's advice and input shows children how to work with their peers.2. Parents receive positive notes from teachers praising the child for something good they have done. Maybe they helped a friend with a project... middle of paper... to scare him. I think it's important to explain what the child did wrong and why they weren't safe, but be polite in how you talk to them, children are sensitive and seem to be more nervous and scared when they know they are in trouble. I think my program approaches situations calmly and respectfully, giving the child a chance to talk about what happened or why they did it without attacking and scaring them. However I also feel like my schedule is a little more relaxed when it comes to discipleship, I think the kids get by a lot more in class without someone talking to them or even getting caught, I think it's hard because there are so many kids to so few teachers. the teachers are able to pick up on all the problems that happen and I think they are all a bit relaxed in dealing with situations. I've seen a lot of codes that I think could have been eliminated, but that's not the case.
