Well I guess it depends what kind of show you are doing but I think the main thing when doing anything with children this yound is to try and keep them INVOLVED and ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING somehow......also keeping things as simple and humurous as possible also helps.

Besides feeding the kids and general supervision, you'd probably do A LOT of cleaning up after them. And ending arguments, breaking up fight, and "He said"/"she said" stuff. Occasionally, one may need to contact CYS or some other agency if a kid is being abused outside of the facility. First aid is a big thing too.  \n\nYou may play games with the kids. Or supervise them. I play with the kids if we don't have many at the time. If there are a lot of kids, I only supervise.

My father, making this same presentation to my class when I was in the first grade, spent half an hour on this complicated hypo about a stolen bike.  When he was done, the only question from the entire class was one kid who wanted to know if all judges have white hair.\n\nFor kids that young, try to find a rule and a dispute about the rule that they might understand.  Maybe something like:  The best student gets first pick of the toys at playtime.  Then you could talk about all the definitions of "best student" - highest grades, tries hardest, most attentive, etc.  And you could talk about things like whether she gets to pick once at the beginning of playtime or just can keep picking up whichever toy she wants. \n\nThat should lead to a discussion of rules, disputes, the role of lawyers to help people make their arguments, and the role of judges to decide them and why it's all better than just two kids fighting over a toy in the middle of the room.\n\nThat's how I'd do it, anyway.

I simply react to what my daughters do.If they do something good I encourage and let them know I am happy about it in different ways according to the age of the child .\nFor wrong actions I simply look them in the eye and say what was the wrong action they did and show them the right thing (I try to control my temper at all times and be patient). \nI also have to control my voice tone very carefully. \nKids understand everything and are very clever.\n\nI do not confuse them by disregarding a wrong action I have made a notice upon it once before.\n\nWe play with each other as much as we can and share the activities they like. I try to give them a lot of my attention and listen to what they want to say. Being freinds is the best way.\nI think now they begin to know what would be my reactions to their actions and act accordingly.

Read to them and teach them to do things..any simple thing like making a grilled cheese sandwich or sorting laundry ....opens dialog and helps them with the learning process. Besides it can be good quality time together.

do something fun . not to bore the kids or anything . some kind of reviewing activity like flash cards or a " mind dump " ( what my 5th grade teacher used to do ) a mind dump is where you take all your knowledge and just write it on a piece of paper. lol . if not then just go original and ask them questions .

We use a time out! It is good to have like a time out chair! Also we use rewards for good behavior! We have a chart for attendance and then behavior all in one! Works great! They are so excited they want to get a reward. If you really have a problem -take the child aside and talk to them- depends on the age- speak with parents! Glad for your new job!!! Be blessed -may Gods face shine upon you and establish the  work of your hands-- for his glory! Go visit my 360  page if you can ! I would really like to keep in contact with you!!! Pray for me and my husband!   So much to pray about! bye

I think it's vital that both parents and professionals work together, especially when SEN children are involved. By working together they'll be able to help the child develop further and share any achievements/concerns for one another to look out for.

Every thing should be balance!\nHome work is importent but not that much that children loose more than what they acheive. They should have enough time to play, to explore them selves and work on their embitions.

there's more than 4 models, i don't get your question quite clear but let me see if I can help, I believe communication is the main key in any relationship, you need to communicate your kids about your believes and thoughts, rules to follow and role your kids play in the house and society, discipline; your kids need to know who's the boss at home and they need to know to respect adults at your house and why not mention on the street as well, love; we all need to feel love and tough love is another way to love as well,persistence; they need to learn that they can achieve anything they want by being persistent and you need to be the best example for them...good luck and I hope you get something from this

Some effective ways to get a child to behave is ether to put them in time out, don't let him/her play with the other kids for a period of time(same as time out i know),have a good behavior chart to put stickers on only if they're good and if they get a certain # of stickers they get a prize out of the prize box ooooohhhhhhh......,or talk to the childs parents about the problem.

The best way to start, if you need organization or a better list of things to improve, is to use the ITERS (Infant Toddler Environment Rating Scale) (www.tcpress.com).\nAt my child care center we go through this ITERS ratings check list regularly to guide us in all our proposals and prioritizing.  Even state grants we receive for improvements have to be backed up by this Rating Scale (here in California).\nOnce you have some ideas of what needs improvement, make another list with categories like these: Goals (for improvement - like better safety), Methods (what you plan to do to reach the goals), Who (will be in charge of making it happen), Approximate Cost, and Dates (so no one lags).\nI hope this helps.

It depends on a lot of variables... How old the child is, how long you spent with the child if you were not working before, and if there is personal support for you on your decision which reflects onto the childs view point. \n\nYou are not the only one in the childs life, right? We are not just a product of our home environment, but our outside one as well. As long as you are involved with the child, constructively communicate, set aside quality time one on one, and lead by example in standing up for what is right and true...then working shouldn't have anything to do with your child's behavior. \n\nNow, if the child is of school age and is showing signs of negative behavior, then you might consider the public school system. It is actually set up to encourage (often not directly) bad behavior in kids today. Read: The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto (a teacher in the public school system), or see the book: Dumbing Us Down, for more information on the subject.

Designate an area especially for "fits" - my friend used a small throw rug she put in a corner of a room.  When the child begins to have a fit, explain in a very calm voice that it can only be done on the "fit rug" and that you'll be waiting for them to finish.  Bring the child to the area and leave him/her to it!  Do not react in any other way except calmly asking "are you done yet?"

I think I may have done the same project at school for GCSE.\nFirst of all mine was about how play helps a childs development and different ways they learn. \nThere are Four types of development\nP.I.E.S\nPhysical, Intellectual, Emotional, Social. \nThe way I did it was to play different games with the child to help their development and then write how you think it helps.\nExample: Playing with a ball- physical. \nPlaying with a ball with friends- physical and social.\nReading a book- Intellectual.\nWays of observation, writing it down, filming with a camcorder, collecting work the child has done.\nOne thing we did was make sock puppets which were intellectual and then social, it also gave me a chance to see the way the child thought. \nAlso you have to learn what games for which years.\n\nThe first thing I did was lots of research into the ages of the children, if your project is like mine was then they need lots of evidence that you did the reasearch and probably a list of the websites. \n\nNext pick games, first of all they should be a least a bit fun, the child I did the project with had a short attention span, but because the games were short and fun, it was easier to keep his attention throughout. Also try to keep organised I did a timetable so I knew which I was doing when. \n\nAlso resourses since there are a lot of children you probably don't want to buy resources so if you have somethings like jigsaw puzzles. Because the child I obsereved was my brother, I could buy things and then he could have them to use afterwards, but I doubt you want to buy things for five children. I brought paint from a shop and it cost £1 for each bottle. So try to get stuff like these from somewhere else. \n\nNext when are you going to do it mornings are probaby best, in the afternoons kids tend to mess around more.\n\nUnless your doing this with someone else it will probably be hard to take care of all the children so do you want to do the observation while they are all toghethwer or when they are seperate.
