Challenge • What changes do we need to make in training to ensure teachers get these core concepts?
Challenge • What can we do to help teachers move ?
Natural Consequences • Natural (most meaningful) – follow the natural order, not imposed by adults, intended to help child reflect on his actions. • When natural consequences are too remote or too dangerous, create logical or reasonable consequences.
Logical Consequences • Consequences are: • Related to the child’s actions. • Respectful of the child’s feelings. • Reasonable so not interpreted as a threat or a form of punishment . • T. attitude is critical in differentiating between negative consequences and punishment. • Respectful, calm, matter-of-fact demeanor. • Comfortable physical distance. • Tone of voice firm but friendly. • Words free of judgment or criticism.
Consequence- Bullying • Use “formative” consequences • Teach empathy, awareness, voluntary calm down, and problem-solving. • Send message bullying is unacceptable . • Hold children responsible for their behavior . • Make amends. • Treat others with more kindness (bring tissue for tears, comforts with a pat on the back, and words like “Are you feeling better? I don’t want to hurt you.” ). • Allow hurt person have their say – “I didn’t like it when you pushed me.” • Give opportunity to have responsibility, make a contribution and experience ability to do good. • Read story about bullying and talk about how bullying makes people feel. • Observe and report on acts of kindness they see around them.
What’s New in ResearchAggression • Mother’s use of corporal punishment, expressing disappointment, and yelling significantly increases child aggression. • Mother’s use of time-out, corporal punishment , expressing disappointment, and shaming significantly related to greater child anxiety. (Gershoff, Grogan-Kaylor, Lansford, Chang, Zelli, Deater-Deckard, Dodge, 2010)
Teacher-Child Relationships • Children with low task accuracy perform just as well as those with high task accuracy if they were paired with a positive and supportive teacher. • The influence of positive teacher-child relationships on future achievement is most pronounced for children with low effortful control on tasks that require fine motor skills, accuracy, and attention-related skills. (Liew, Chen, & Hughes, 2010)
Impact of Child Care • Children do best cognitively and behaviorally who attend non-parental home-based care during the infant/toddler period and center care during preschool compared to those in continuous center-based care and those who never attend center care. • Children who experience small groups (i.e., home-care settings) during preschool display better social skills than those who attend large-group care. (Morrisey, 2010)
Impact of Child Care • Being in a kindergarten classroom with many children with extensive childcare histories increases acting out behavior over and above individual child’s childcare history. • More hours of non-relative care birth to 4.5 years predicts greater risk taking and impulsivity at age 15 (Belsky, 2009)
Spanking • What are effects of spanking children at 1 year of age? • Child aggressive behavior problems at age 2 • Lower mental development scores at age 3 • Who is more likely to spank or use verbal punishment with a 3 year old? • Younger age mother • Poor • Boy child • African Americans and more acculturated Mexican Americans. • Spanking and verbal punishment are products of parental challenges (Berlin, Ispa, Fine, Malone, Brooks-Gunn, Brady-Smith, Ayoub and Bai, 2009)
Autism Spectrum Disorders • In new DSM-V • Includes only 2 symptom domains: social-communication and fixated, repetitive interests • Eliminates subtypes of ASD • Describes individual differences in terms of dimensions of severity of the 2 domains relative to developmental level and chronological age (Lord & Bishop, 2010)
ASD • Key differences from other disorders: • differential response to treatment • patterns of development from early years to adulthood • risks for recurrence in siblings • associations with behaviors in parents and siblings (Levey, Mandell & Schultz, 2009) • Strong evidence of genetic component but no markers or biological test to date • Occurs 4 x more often in boys • Co-occurrence of intellectual disability has declined from 75% to 50% in recent decades
Focused Interventionsfor ASD • Intended to change specific behavior in short time • Behavioral Package • Modeling • Naturalistic Teaching Strategies • Peer Training Package • Schedules • Self Management • Story-based Intervention Package • Functional behavioral assessment (National Autism Center, 2009)
Comprehensive Interventions for ASD • Intense services for 1-2 years, many based on ABA • Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) • Pivotal Response Treatment • Treatment and Education of Autistic and Communication Handicapped Children (TEACCH) • UCLA Young Autism Project (Lovaas Institute) (Odom et al., 2010)
ASD Intervention ‘Kernels’ • Interpersonal interactions • Positive affect • Reinforce child attempts
