For K3D316 i put this:
If a child exhibits unwanted behaviour, I would say ‘we don’t like that behaviour in nursery’ (or words to that effect) not that the child is bad. The child is not bad or naughty, this could lead to self-esteem issues if they were told this a lot and the child would continue to behave in that way. This is the link with self-esteem.
Children need praise and to feel special and they will want to keep getting this, so will behave in a more positive manner to get the praise and attention.
If a child presents unwanted behaviour and gets a ‘telling off’ and never any praise the only attention they are getting is been told off. This is better than nothing so the child will continue to present this behaviour for ‘attention’. Of course this can lead to self esteem issues and this is no good for the child. Therefore what members of staff must do is continuously praise and reward good behaviour and big point of praising the child who often shows unwanted behaviour.
There are many factors that can affect a child’s resilience at different ages for instance the pressure to do well in school, or been able to fit in. Family can also influence this in a way such as if a family is breaking up or if a lone parent wants to bring a new partner into the family unit. The area in which a child is brought up in may also be a factor in this. There may be high crime rates in the form of anti social behaviour or drug related crime. TV and radio can also be a factor in this as it can make children feel under pressure to have a certain toy or eat certain types of food.
In all cases a child will need support to make them more resilient, in the form of listening to the child and letting them know you are there to talk to.
My questions are worded different to yours but i linked about three of the questions in this one unit to this answer hop it helps
