Behaviour Management

In childcare, who hasn't witnessed or been a part of a child having high emotions? Whether that be happy, sad, mad, or all emotions combined? I know I sure have! I have plenty of behavioural management experience! I have worked side by side with children who have ASD and ADHD and some children who have been easily triggered by anything and everything! I believe in helping children express their feelings and emotions using words. I will always have emotional charts set up in the room, and when I notice a child feeling a certain way, I will gently guide them to the emotional chart and ask them to place the facial picture they are relating to. Children are learning all these new feelings and emotions in their bodies, and I understand how frustrating it can be for a child not to know how to express their feelings. I will always be there to help encourage them to use their kind words and their kind hands.
