Hi

from page 67 of this STL textbook

Regognise patterns triggers for inappropriate behaviour and act to avoid them.

As you get to know pupils, you may find that you are able to identify triggers to their inappropriate behaviour. knowledge of the pupil will also help you when dealing with this, as you will be able to predict what works and what does not. For example, with young children, it may be enough to remove them from the situation. An awareness of the child;s needs will be very important if they have specific behavioural difficulties.

Unit 06 Promote children and young people’s positive behaviour

and this from the Study file

Recognise patterns and triggers which may lead to inappropriate behavioural responses and take action to pre-empt, divert or diffuse potential flash points

It is well recognised that children react to situations and stimuli in different ways and that depending on the child, their well-being, their developmental stage, and any conditions or impairments that they have, that response may be more or less inappropriate. It is really important to remember that nothing happens in isolation. There is usually a reason behind the behaviour, however difficult that may be to see. Behaviour problems do not tend to be one-offs; they are more likely to be a pattern, and this realisation can make it easier for you to understand the behaviour.

Remembering that it is a type of communication for those who are not empowered to express themselves (either because they cannot express their emotions or difficulty with something adquately, or because they do not feel that they are allowed to), does help with this thinking.

Knowing the pupils is key to understanding their behaviours, but at the same time, you should apply some of your reflective thinking skills to any situation where a child regularly behaves inappropriately. Once you have a good understanding of what happens, when it happens, and the possible reasons behind it, you will be better able to make the right decisions when it comes topre-empting the behaviour, or diffusing it.
