- 8. Tip 1: Understand behaviour
- 9. Tip 1: Understand behaviour Daniel is 8 years old. When the teacher goes to the playground to collect the class after play he is stood next to the teacher on duty being told off. When she asks what is wrong the teacher on duty tells her that he has hit another child. Daniel’s teacher becomes annoyed with him and says “This is the third time this week Daniel – you are in trouble now!” Daniel tells his teacher that he “doesn’t care!”. The teacher becomes more annoyed and tells him that he will have no more playtimes this week. Daniel runs away.
- 10. Tip 1: Understand behaviour Earlier that day… Daniel is 8 years old. He wakes up and his little brother, with whom he shares a bed, has wet the bed – again! He’s going to have to change his bed sheets – again! But not until he’s got his little brother’s breakfast. He looks at the clock, it is 8:45 – he is going to be late for school - again! No time for him to eat then. The lady in the office is going to moan at him - again! His teacher is going to tut as he walks into the room - again! He is going to miss what the teacher tells the class to do in the lesson and so he’ll have to guess and then get it wrong–again!

- 12. Tip 1: Understand behaviour When you understand why a child is behaving in the way they are dealing with it becomes much easier. My golden rules would be: • Consider the language you are using • Take care with reward systems • Pick your arguments • Set the tone • Do with not to • Follow through
