There is a Bully in My Classroom - March 19, 2012
What is bullying? Why do kids bully? Who are the bullies? The victims? The bystanders? Bullying happens everywhere, whether the school or the classroom is large or small, urban or rural. Most children experience it at some time during their school careers and fortunately it is minor and fleeting for the majority. Some bullies never stop bullying, though we call their behaviour by different names in adult life C harassment, wife abuse, child abuse... A child who’s a victim isn’t usually chosen at random. And the bystanders often don’t realize that although they may not be involved, they are still participating.
WEVAS - March 20, 2012
Even to the most experienced child care educator or teacher, it sometimes seems as if challenging behavior comes out of nowhere. But according to the WEVAS intervention, children usually present warning signs. If you can recognize them and intervene early enough, you can prevent challenging behavior and help children return to a competent state, where their minds, bodies, and emotions are functioning well and geared up for learning. No matter which state they’re in, children need support and guidance to return to the competent state. The WEVAS strategy helps child care educators and teachers to provide this support and guidance by recognizing exactly where the child is at, seeing things from his perspective, understanding how their own reactions contribute to the child’s behavior, and matching their response to the child’s needs.
