============================================================
Here is a question I get all the time from my listeners: "Help, my kids are out of control! What can I do?"
Now, this is something every early childhood teacher has had to deal with in their career.
It's no secret that young children are not all angels. It's normal, they're kids, and they don't have as much impulse control as we do.
Plus, they're at that age when they're starting to feel like their own person and want to express themselves.
So, how do you make them behave in the classroom?
Well, what if teaching kids to behave wasn't about controlling their behavior, but instead about teaching them the skills they need to express their feelings and emotions?
And do you truly need behavior charts or are they obsolete?
This is exactly what I discuss in today's episode of Elevating Early Childhood, so, if this sounds like your cup of tea (and I know it does), tune in now!

This is so interesting. I am a teacher assistant in a NAC accredited learning center. We have 20 3 year olds with one lead teacher and one assistant. We face many struggles with behavior, even extreme behavior such a hitting and throwing toys out of anger. How do you handle these particular behaviors? I have also observed the children snatching toys from others and taunting each other with them. It can be very exhausting to deal with daily. I think we have too many kids between two of us.

I'm going to assume you're in Texas or one of the neighboring states because those ratios are insane, I don't get how they can get away with that when other states have much lower ratios. Any classroom with 20 3 year-olds is going to be chaos. 3 year-olds hit and throw things out of frustration because a) they've only been on this planet for 36 months b) they may not have the language yet to adequately express themselves c) impulse control is an executive function skill that they haven't developed yet. What you can do: a) model repeatedly (daily) how to ask for a turn, wait for a turn, and what to do if someone says "no" b) give children the words they can use when asking for a turn and responding. This done through the daily modeling. Avoid using the term "use your words" because it assumes they already have the words to use. Never assume something has made it into their long term memory yet (see 36 month statement above) Hope this helps and good luck!

I could not agree more with everything you said in this video. I have taught 3's for 9 years and here I am only two weeks into the year and I am ready to quit. I have 10 children in my class and one assistant. My assistant has little experience with children and a very old-school mentality. She constantly "scolds" the children and I spend as much time correcting her behavior as I do my children. Then she tells me that I am "not strict enough". And of my 10 children, I have 3 with serious behavior issues. I am not talking about wiggling, and talking during circle, these kids are rolling around and kicking friends, running all over the room, and being very disruptive. I was trained in a NAC accredited school and I feel like I have a lot of really good tools in my toolbox but I just am at my wits end on how to positively guide the three to participate appropriately in the activities.

When I do whole class rewards, I don't count students that are working on behaviors towards the reward. Also, I focus on improvement, not perfection when it comes to whole group points as well. I teach Kinder. I don't like behavioral charts bc it does not focus on improvement nor are they positive. I like bucket filling. I teach and model expectations as well as behavior, it helps a lot! We have problem-solving circles too if things come up

Thank you for the incites! I agree with everything you are saying. I use the star jar and look at it as more of a teamwork goal and activity for my class :) If we all work together we can earn a star. Now my star jar fills up quickly and everyone contributes. I also say if so and so is using their walking feet so they get a high five! They love it. Don't get me wrong I am doing all the following you have suggested but there is something about using these small fun fair tactics that has changed my class… however this is the first year I have actually used it. I am a big believer that every class has its own needs. Anyways good to have lots up your sleeve as an ECE :)

What about behaviors like getting out of their seats and shouting out. These behaviors are very disruptive. How would you address these behaviors?
@vanessalevin7467
@vanessalevin7467 2 года назад
Those are skills that need to be taught, just like any other behaviors. There are other factors to be considered, such as hold old the children are, how long they're asked to be seated etc.

I have been trying to figure out ways to have better behavior and classroom management in my classroom and of course do it in more developmentally appropriate ways. However, I have two big challenges 1. I have a large class size of 28 children 2. They are all Chinese and have very limited English speaking skills. Logically I know that it is my job to help teach them how to better manage their behaviors but due to the langauge divide I am at a loss on the best strategy to do this.

Are you referring to the blog post or on the video itself? I checked the blog post and found only one typo (expectations) but no references to marbles or spitting. If it's a typo on the captions that appear on the screen, then I can't fix it as this video was edited by my production company.
