CHAPTER 9: CHILDREN NEEDS TO DEVELOP THEIR SKILLS Need for a democratic movement Sometimes children need to have some

time alone for themselves without the helping hand of an adult. This is to develop their skills on how they would respond alone in the changes within their environment and on how theyre going to deal with it independently. Although it is given that a child must obey , still adults must be familiarity inorder for a child to have the capacity to do their own decision making but there are still times that an adult must leave a child during work alone. Behavioral Consequences Behavioral consequences is a way of bringing out or urging children to make decisions out of certain acts.

An example would be to remove or send them away when making inappropriate behavior. An alternative approach is to make the child feel welcome and noticed, to help the child feel good. With careful planning caregiver can be responsible in improving and developing the child with of course values or lessons for every unacceptable behavior.
