This term I have noticed that many of my children are somewhat aware of the rules and expectations of the classroom but they are still breaking these rules. One boy in particular seems to constantly by talking while I'm talking and distracting his peers.
Therefore, instead of telling him what he is doing wrong, Incredible Years has constantly reinforced the idea to be positive and praise the children for doing the right thing. This has helped develop a more positive relationship with this child.
I have been focusing on catching this child out and praising him whenever he does the right thing and ignoring when he doesn't. I have noticed this working so I emailed home to his parents and commented on how impressed I was with his attitude towards his learning and how much he had improved. I found that this further reinforced this positive behaviour and since this email I have not had to focus on his behaviour so much.
