SHORT ANSWER

1. What are five ways to help children maintain positive behavior patterns?

ANS:
• Recognize and label the situation–acknowledge the difficulties it presents to the children
• Ask children for their help–get them involved in working out the solutions
• Assign a job or task to the children who are most likely to react to the crisis–please help
Johnny clean-up
• Always be prepared with a story to tell, song to sing, guessing games to play, exercises to do–
help the children pass the time in an appropriate way modeled by the teacher
• Say what you would like to have happen–admit what you wish you could do to correct the
situation

2. Discuss the differences between positive guidance and punishment.

ANS:
Punishment emphasizes what children should not do, is negative, undermines a child’s independence,
is an adult release, thinks for the child, defeats self-esteem, and condemns misbehavior. On the other
hand, positive discipline emphasizes what the child should do, is positive, leads to self-control, helps
the child change, fosters children’s ability to think, bolsters self-esteem, and shapes behavior.
Punishment is often a one-time occurrence while discipline is an ongoing process.

3. What does developmentally appropriate guidance mean?

ANS:
It means taking child development principles into account when responding to children’s behavior;
providing a developmental context in which to understand the behavior; requiring that the teacher
consider what is known about the individual child as well as what is typical for the age group; and
matching the guidance strategies with the capabilities of the child.

4. How does a room arrangement promote positive interactions and appropriate behavior?

ANS:
Room arrangements are powerful tools for controlling children’s behavior, so teachers can achieve a
number of behavioral goals using the physical space in the classroom. Child-size furniture that fits the
preschool body encourages sitting and working behavior. Low, open shelves encourage self-help and
cleanup. Room arrangements that avoid a long, open space prevent a runway that might encourage
running. Room arrangements should suggest the type of behavior that should take place in that space:
large, protected floor space for block building, for instance, or pillows and comfortable furniture near
bookshelves to encourage quiet reading.

5. What are some of the cautions regarding using time-out with young children?

ANS:
The teacher’s role is to help the child see time-out as a time to regroup, talk about the incident, and
gain self-control. Caution must be applied to ensure that the child does not see this as an act of
rejection, detention, or as a way to vent anger about the child’s behavior.

6. What is the role of cultural influence in choosing guidance techniques?

ANS:
To respect the values and beliefs that are embedded in the child’s cultural heritage; to provide
consistency between home and school; to foster dialogue with families where there is a conflict of
values; to gain insight into children’s behavior; to better match the child with the most effective
guidance approach; to create a cultural sensitivity between home and school.

7. How does a teacher help children achieve self-discipline?

ANS:
As children grow and develop, adults will decrease the amount of control they exercise over them and
gradually provide more opportunities for children to govern their own actions. When adults
communicate their trust in the child’s ability to learn self-control, children will respond appropriately.
With added responsibility and trust comes the added dimension of self-respect and confidence. As
children learn to experience the freedom that comes with the lessening of adult controls, they come to
know their own capabilities. Adults who care for children allow them to learn this in a safe place and
give them as much freedom as they can responsibly handle. Consistent and appropriate limits as well
as other good guidance strategies provide a safe setting.

8. How can you encourage children to do what you want them to do?

ANS:
Tell them what you want them to do rather than what you do not want them to do. Give examples that
are very clear, and make the suggestions in positive statements rather than beginning with “Don’t.”
Reinforce what children do right: catch them at being good. Let them know when they have behaved
as you wished. Help them refocus on a task by giving indirect suggestions or reminders instead of
commands, emphasizing what you want the child to do. Use positive redirection whenever possible.
Encourage children appropriately, being clear about what you are praising. Avoid global praise. Give
reasons for your request.

ESSAY

1. Discuss briefly five factors that affect behavior.

ANS:
Five factors that affect behavior include the following:
a. Developmental factors help teachers anticipate what children will do and how they
might behave. This predictability helps teachers maintain reasonable expectations for
children’s behavior. When adults are aware of what behaviors are simply beyond the
capabilities of children, they can help avert situations that lead to conflicts.
b. Environmental factors help children control their behaviors. The classroom should be
designed for children’s use with small-size furniture arranged with low, open shelves to
encourage children to take out, use, and then put away the materials they want.
Challenging, stimulating, and age-appropriate materials capture children’s attention and
interest, which helps prevent many opportunities for misbehavior.
c. Individual or personal styles are present from birth. Teachers need to know a child’s
temperament so that discipline and guidance measures can be tailored to meet his or her
unique needs.
d. Social and emotional needs of children can create behavioral problems. This includes
the need to feel loved and cared for, the need to be included, the desire to be considered
important and valued, the desire to have friends, and the need to feel safe from harm.
Since young children are still working out ways to express these needs and feelings,
sensitive teachers will want to help them learn communication skills to resolve these
conflicts.
e. Discipline and guidance are deeply embedded in the values and beliefs of the family.
The family’s culture shapes how they raise their children, and each family is unique in
the way they interpret these values. Child-rearing practices are culturally influenced, and
the cultural practices of some families may be at odds with a teacher’s ideas and
expectations. As teachers become familiar with the customs and beliefs of the families
they serve, they will gain insights into children’s behavior. Teachers need to be flexible
and nonjudgmental as they work with the cultural implications of children’s behavior.

2. Explain each rung on the guidance ladder.

ANS:
• Ignoring behavior–the adult chooses not to respond to the child in any way and may even become
occupied elsewhere while the behavior persists
• Active Listening “I” messages–the adult listens carefully, then reflects back in their own words
what they think was said, the child corrects any misinterpretations
• Reinforcement–the process by which a behavior is followed by a consequence, such as a reward or
punishment
• Redirection and distraction–redirection: the adult wants to change the activity in which the child is
engaged; distraction: used when the adult wants to focus the child’s attention on an activity that
may or may not relate to the previous behavior
• Giving children choices–give a choice only when you mean for the children to make the choice
• Setting limits–self-protective boundaries for when behavior goes out of bounds
• Active problem solving–engages children in confronting their differences
• Natural and logical consequences–natural: enhance children’s ability to take responsibility for
themselves; logical: function of what the adult imposes
• Time out–removing a child from the play area
• Physical intervention–teacher intervenes to prevent the child from injuring themselves, others or
property

3. Describe the steps to take when children act out frequently.

ANS:
There are five different support and guidance strategies a teacher may take when a child is frequently
acting out. They see and hear the uniqueness in each child by assessing the influence the behavior is
having on the child. Build caring relationships with children and their families by respecting the
individual child and their family. Make observations through collecting information about the child.
Modify the classroom and schedule by making legitimate opportunities for children to move about.
Finally, teacher attention and language are needed to get the point across. Do this through looking at
and speaking to the child at eye level, in a calm reassuring voice that does to shame or ridicule.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
