why & how

Hi

Can anyone help me with this question (the answer needs to be in a why and how format)

Be supportive in your responses to children's behaviour, following the polices of your setting

Would appreciate any help,the two books i have don't seem to have the answer.

Thanks

not sure which question you are on but here are a few ideas

if the question is about challenging behaviour then you r setting will have the how to deal with this in a policy but redirection trying to get them to do something else ,specific instructions reducing them to the childs level of understanding,ignoring the disruptive child and giving praise and attention to a child who is doing what they have been asked are setting has a 3 step action if the other cousres of action don't work 1st step warning is given to stop,step 2 child or toys is taken away from the activity step 3 child is removed from room with adult and explained what they have done wrong and is to sit their for 1 minuite for every year of their life this is only done with the older children .

This id done to show the children there are boundies and they have to be kept this also shows them that challenging behaviour is not wanted and has a cause and affect.

positive behaviour is to be rewarded with lots of praise and encouraging this type of behaviour children learn that doing things which gets lots of attention and prasie are enjoyable and they will want to do more things to get this response .which gains respect and understanding that this is the way to do things this is acceptable behaviour

hope this helps sorry little all over the place writting this with sick child
