Understanding Misbehavior
Some children misbehave and not realize they did anything wrong. It is important that you make them understand why and what they did was inappropriate.
Bad Behavior Tip
It is important to talk to kids about bad behavior directly after it occurs. “Out of sight/out of mind” can happen when done too much later.
Behavior Issues Trick
You can teach kids with behavior issues how others feel by role playing appropriate/inappropriate conduct. Try reversing roles and analyze together.
Germs
Kids should never sneeze into the air. Once the germs are airborne, they can spread to infect everyone in the room! This is for L in Newton, MA.
Behavior Insight
For behaviorally challenged kids, help them see another’s perspective. The trouble may be caused from not understanding how others feel.
Illness
Kids and adults can avoid getting sick by not putting ANYTHING into their mouths. Cold/flu germs can be found on items people commonly put into their mouths such as fingers, fingernails, pencils, erasers, pen caps, toys, and etc. Children get into the bad habit of putting things in their mouths at a young age and can follow them through adulthood. Teach your children willpower and persistence to defeat this habit.
Sports
Sports tend to be the main focus of some students. Parents should stress that athletics are great, but schoolwork must be their #1 priority.
Team Sports
Team sports aren’t for everyone. Kids can excel in non-competitive sports like karate, weightlifting, boxing & etc. This is for L in Newton.
