Research Benefits of Bad Behavior in Early Childhood

I decided to go with option number #2 researching my own topic dealing with Bad Behavior in Early Childhood.  In young children, challenging behaviors are apparent in a number of ways. Some children may act defiantly and refuse to comply with the requests of teachers. In some cases, defiant episodes culminate in physical and emotional outbursts such as temper tantrums, antisocial, bullying, and including violent acts such as biting, kicking, pinching, punching or hair-pulling, and verbal aggression or taunting--may also occur among children. Other forms of challenging behavior include lying, whining, stealing, inattention and property destruction.
Behavior sometimes stems from issues related to family, home-life, neglect, poverty, drugs, physical abuse, and mental illness within the family. Whatever the case may be researchers have a deeper understanding what affects children behaviors by identifying the source of the behavioral issues and responding positively to the child’s needs. Some techniques can include:

• activity or group of peers--to avoid the stimuli that triggers misbehavior
• changing the child's setting environment.
• offering options and choices may lend feeling of empowerment and minimize the frequency of misconduct.

 

My Research Journey

My simulation topic is. What resources are out their in high-quality programs to help students and teachers deal with behavioral issues in the classroom. I chose this topic because like I stated on the discussion board I see children with sauveur behavioral problems and most of the time it is so hard to teach the classroom because of certain children acting out, screaming, rude, and interrupting constantly in the classroom. For me I hate having to talk to a certain child everyday all day because I know it gets to the point that  the child is shutting you out to. I never want to raise my voice, be mean, or even keep isolating a child from the rest of the children because I know a child can not learn from isolation.

So far with my research I am checking the web for peer reviewed journals, talking to my supervisor at Head Start on what we provide for services to teachers and children. I think this will be a great start for my research and I will be open to any suggestions or resources for my topic. I look forward to reading your comments.
