Week 2 (Critical incident)

The critical episode:

Manage some of  the children’s behavior.

Describe the incident:

This week I noticed that I have 4 children in my classroom that have behavior problems. For example, one of them is always ignore the teacher when she talk to him or call his name and he keep doing whatever he want. The other child has the same behavior as the previews one and also he always says bad words to his friends. When I had this problems with these children, I feel upset and angry sometimes.

This incident stand out of the children’s behavior at home and imitate each other’s behavior. This is because of when I asked one of the teachers who is one of the children’s anti about this behavior, she said that this child hears the bad words from his older brothers and he behave like them. As a result of this, the other children in the classroom are imitating his behavior because they thought that he is the boss of the classroom.

I learned from this incident that children need some management strategies that can manage their behavior. I planned for next week to create a managing behavior chart where I placed the children pictures at the bottom of the chart and whenever they act in the right way, I put a sticker each time on their pictures until he / she get to the big star, they will get a certificate and a gift. I hope this strategy will affect the children’s behavior in a good way.
