The best way to eliminate, for example, bullying is to eliminate it before it starts. This type of class requires clear rules and procedures and regular monitoring of results. Te teacher aims to enforce pro-social behavior with role-playing simulation. Troubled kids often feel that no one understands them, so discussing real-life dilemmas and hypothetical situations with them is essential. Prevention classes result in children with better problem-solving skills, with an emphasis on effective communication and active listening.
Children often develop some troubling behaviors that are not problematic at first. Before applying techniques of behavior modification, the teacher needs to find out as much information about the child's behavior and habits from the parents. Afterward, correction classes are used and involve strict instructions. The main method is a carefully controlled punishment and reward technique. This method will work only if reinforcement comes immediately after the desired behavior and is applied over a longer period of time.
The key for success in behavior modification therapy is an active parenting approach. No class or school can complete this task without parental involvement. The teacher depends on information parents provide to him or her. Treatment Classes emphasize family therapy and parent training. the child changes his behavior only when he receives a clear and consistent message. With the presence of both parents and the child, the teacher teaches both sides how to trigger affirmative behavior.
Children most efficiently adopt and create new behaviors by simply observing and imitating the world around them. They create certain models of appropriate behaviors and repeat them constantly. Most misbehavior in children is adopted from the outer world. Modeling classes use the same method to replace these undesired behaviors by following a few steps: Create a wanted behavior model, let the kid observe the model as it inhibits the previous one, and repeat the model with positive reinforcement. These classes are most suitable for younger children.
