Thinking About Young Children: Working with Behavior In Early Intervention RAAC Tuesday, August 2, 2011 2:45-4:00 pm
Welcome • Video
What to do • Typical Development or Newton’s First Law: a body in motion tends to stay in motion (behavioral momentum; positive opposites) • From Greenspan’s DIR approach: Developmental, Individual Difference, Relationship-based
Six Developmental Stages • First Stage • Self-regulation and interest in the world • 3+ months • Ideas: • Hold your baby • Talk and sing to your baby • Respond to your baby’s signals
Stage 2 • Forming Relationships, attachment and engagement (intimacy) • 5+ months • Ideas: • Place your baby in different positions and encourage movement • Watch and respond to you baby’s signals • Tell stories to your baby
Stage 3 • Two-way communication • 9+ months • Ideas: • Talk about what is happening and what will happen next • Comment on what your baby did to make something happen-use descriptive verbal praise
Stage 4 • Complex Communication • 12-18+ months • Ideas: • Play games that involve following directions • Follow your child’s lead • Use descriptive verbal praise for the behavior you like
Stage 5 • Emotional Ideas • 24-30+ months • Ideas: • Let your child lead play time • Ask about your child’s ideas • Help your child handle conflicts with sharing and turn taking • Teach and practice relaxation: stop-sit-breathe
Stage 6 • Emotional Thinking • 34+ months • Ideas: • Ask open ended questions • Talk with your child about her/his day
It isn’t working! • What, when, where, who • Functions • Medical • Escape • Attention • Tangible • Sensory
More-It isn’t working! • Immediate response- Low and Slow • Distract and redirect= ignore • Re-engage and reinforce (positive opposites) • Two essential skills • Good directions • Descriptive verbal praise at 10:1
More • Long-term • Teach a different (more powerful) way to meet the function through typical development activities
