Task 3

Table 4: Reframing Behavioral Characteristics

Discuss the general behavioural characteristics of all the children in your class with the
class teacher and record these in table form. E.g. Table 4 below.
Table 3: Example Reframing Behavioural Characteristics Record Sheet

Name of
child

General behavioural
characteristics

Reframed

Anna

She always knocks over other

childrens constructions or
tries to destroy other childrens
art work

She may want to join in

with other childrens
play but may not know

Suggestions to
help improve
behaviour?

We make him do many

things to assist his
teacher like, make him
to distribute the papers
or the worksheet.
We get him busy or
active for doing
something relate it to
the lesson and assist
his teacher in the
classroom.

Reframe these behavioral characteristics and suggestions for improvements.
