Silkysteps early years forum - planning ideas for play - Help needed on unit 7 please: negative and positive influences on behaviour

Hi, a very warm welcome to the site.

Page 115 and 116 of the Level 2 STL handbook looks at these criteria.

Quote:
In school and college we can influence the behaviour of children and young people through our discussions of expectations and through rewards and sanctions. However, although children spend much of their time in school, as adults we still need to remember a high percentage of their time is spent at home. Many influences, whether positive or negative, will also come from the home environment and in other ways.

School influence - discussions regarding expectations for behaviour, this may be through curriculum-based teaching such as PSHE or religious education lessons or circle time, and debates on moral issues and the difference between right and wrong.

Parental influence - parents and carers have major influences of children and young people. In most cases they will have the closest contact with their child, they will set expectations and be a role model for what kind of behaviour is acceptable or not acceptable. They are likely to be contacted by the school in cases of poor behaviour or very good behaviour.

Sibling influence
Peer group influence
Boy/girlfriend influences
Community or cultural influences
Media influences
Online influences

Page 117 goes on to explore the different ways children and young people can be supported in overcoming negative influences on their behaviour

For example by;

Building positive relationships with children and young people
Give children and young people an opportunity to discuss issues
Offer counselling or groups in school
Look out for changes in behaviour
Model positive behaviour
