Nutrition

Behaviourmanagement systems

Rewards

Punishments

Effective parenting

Change their peer groups

What is influencing him? (games, tv etc)

Alternative Curriculum

Special inclusive packages

BehaviourImprovement Policies

Focus on the child Focus on the parent Focus on the school

What is wrong with these methods?

They control

They are external

They need strict observation

It doesnt promote good behavior, it just says.

And why is the child unhappy?

Because this is what goes on inside him.

Dont just say dont do that! clarify the how and why of appropriate action.

Make him capable of making a choice.

Why is it so important?Its not always easy to take decisions, as situations get complex often, hence you are not just teaching good and bad, you are training them for something big.

Give the world what it needs.

We need people who can take.

People who do what they say,

people know how to do it right,

people whose decisions are selfless.

Humans who are humane..

Make them believe, give them confidence.

Back to the point...

So, if you have no power over the (ineffective) systems that are being usedto control a childs behaviour, and you clearly cannot just carry on acceptingthe behaviour, what can you do to make positive changes?

YOU

There is a clear relation between behavior and emotions.

Psychologists list a wide variety of psychologicalneeds from the need to achieve need to contributeneed for love and a whole host of others in between.

We boil them down to just three..

1. Empowerment

2. Fun

3. Belonging

1. Empowerment

Recognition

Freedom

achievement

contribution

choice and

competence

If the need for empowerment isnt being met we will feel powerless and frustrated in any given situation.

2.FUN

need for

curiosity

interest,

growth and learning,

adventure

amusement,

surprise,

variety

If the need for fun goes unmet we feel bored and frustrated.

Need for Belonging

To be

accepted

Valued

Appreciated

Needed

related to or connected with something beyond oneself.

In short, the need to be loved.

If the need for belonging goes unmet we feel lost, uncared for, lonely, isolated, vulnerable, let down, inferior and of course, frustrated.

If not...

pupils will seek their own methods for fulfilment.
