WEEK 9 MISTAKEN BEHAVIOUR LEVELS OF MISTAKEN BEHAVIOUR ■ The three levels of mistaken behavior ■ Level One, experimentation mistaken behavior. ■ Level Two, socially influenced mistaken behavior. ■ Level Three, strong needs mistaken behavior. LEVEL ONE: EXPERIMENTATION Two Motives Here: ■ Involvement: Situation evolves causing it to get out of hand ■ We see this with children daily ■ Start off amicable and then gets out of hand ■ Curiosity: When the child is testing the boundaries they want to see what happens ■ Children of all ages start to do this level, they want to see what will happen and what you will do ■ We need to establish the boundaries ■ This is developmentally aged as well, a toddler will test different boundaries than a kindergartener ■ Examples: ■ Children fighting over a toy (I) ■ The child looks at you, throws something on the floor to see your reaction (C) LEVEL TWO: SOCIALLY INFLUENCED ■ Family ■ Adults around them ■ Educators and classmates ■ Friends ■ Movies, TV, video games, etc. ■ Example? LEVEL THREE: STRONG UNMET NEEDS ■ Not getting their needs met ■ Environment ■ Traumatic Event ■ Eg: divorce, if we see a change in their behaviour that typically werent there ■ If we dont know if something is happening a home we shoud inquiry in a certain way ■ Child with diverse needs ■ Example? Review from first lecture: behaviour is communication, 5 domains of self regulation - Iceberg analogy

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT IS A PROBLEM THAT IMPACTS THE GROUP? ■ 1) What is this called? ■ 2) What kinds of problems are discussed at this time? ■ 3) Where to meet and what happens there?

PREVENTING CONFLICTS What have you learned in this class to do when working with children? ■ Let’s try breakout groups!!! CONFLICT RESOLUTION FOR OLDER CHILDREN 1. What is peer mediation? - Kids helping other kids solve their problems - This can be more effective than if an adult plays that role - Much more receptive to a peer mediator in different situations rather than with an adult - When using the 6 steps, children pick it up and they are able to play that role for one another - Sparks the need of upstandards, its not innate in school agers to get involved - They think if someone is picking on them then at least they arent picking on me 2. Who and how does it help? EXPLAIN WHAT A QUICK MEDIATION IS: ■ Reminder… What is differentiated instruction and can it help reduce conflicts in your classroom and support children’s social and emotional health? ■ Sometimes they dont need to go through the 6 steps, we can use a quick version ■ Doing the steps we feel are necessary to solve the problem quickly WHAT IS AN ENVIRONMENT THAT ENCOURAGES PROBLEM SOLVING? - Before you speak, think - Is it true? Is it helpful? Is it inspiring? Is it necessary? Is it kind? /// EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS NEVER STOP LEARNING… ■ When educators have a trusting relationship with children, they can encourage them to take chances and show initiative in an environment where they feel emotionally safe and therefore comfortable enough to take appropriate risks. ■ Responsible educators guide children with strategies that help them manage their emotions, understand the emotions of others, become more confident, and foster relationships with their peers...
