As a teacher of young children, at times you will experience problems guiding the children in your care. Common causes of guidance problems include over-stimulation, changes in routine, and loud noise. Frustration and physical problems can also cause guidance problems.
Knowing how stress affects young children is also important. Stress can have many causes. Changes or problems within the family can cause stress among children and families. Young children do not know how to handle this stress very well.
In addition, you may face other problem behaviors in the classroom. These include negativism, stealing, anger, biting, exploring the body, tattling, thumb sucking, and fear. Handling each of these problem behaviors takes guidance skills and techniques that are unique to the situation.
For a child with challenging behavior it is important for parents and caregivers to communicate and collaborate. What is going on at home? What is going on in child care? A log documenting appropriate and inappropriate behavior can offer a useful way for parents and caregivers to share information with one another and with professionals. Caregivers can resist the urge to un-enroll the child while seeking training, support groups and mental health consultation.
