Ruffin, Ph.D., Assistant Professor and Extension Child Development Specialist, Virginia State University, Virginia Dept. of Education Licensed School Psychologist and NCSP Publication Number 350-052, Posted June 2000 Child care providers who are good facilitators of the social development of young children also understand the relationship between child care curriculum, care giver demeanor, and discipline in promoting responsibility and a sense of community among young children. What Are The Main Goals Of Behavior Management? An issue of overwhelming concern among child care givers/providers is that of managing acting out and disruptive behaviors in children. This issue becomes more difficult when the child's behavior is seen in a group setting and when the care giver is challenged to respond to behavior concerns of more than one child. One of the most challenging roles of care givers of small children is to help guide their behavior. This can be achieved by demonstrating respect, kindness, and persistence when interacting with young children. All children display undesirable behavior at some time.

What should I expect? How can I prevent problems? ... How can I improve my child's behavior? Where do I begin? Discipline comes from the word "disciple," which means to teach. You need to teach your child the proper way of behaving. Help your child practice good behavior. Show him what to do and how to act. Be an example. Certain behaviors are never okay for a child of any age. Your child does not have a choice when his health, safety, or future could be hurt. For example: Health A child who is sick must take his medicine. Safety A child cannot play in the street. A teen cannot ride in the car with people who have been drinking. Future A child needs to go to school. School prepares him to work and earn a living. Other issues are negotiable (you and your child can decide what is okay and not okay) such as dyeing his hair purple or not making the bed. What should I expect?

Parents' Stress May Affect Behavior in Children With Heart Defect BostonOctober 11, 2002, Harvard Medical School Affiliate Children's HospitalNew research indicates that 4-year-olds who have had surgery to correct an inborn heart defect - much like children without such health problems - are more likely to have behavioral problems if their mothers and fathers find parenting highly stressful. While the researchers anticipated this finding, they did not predict another observation: that reported rates of problem behaviors and levels of parenting stress are no higher, and possibly lower, in families coping with the heart defect than in average families. According to lead author Karen J. Visconti, Ph.D., of Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School, "These findings indicate that the parents [of children with the congenital heart defect] were capable of coping with having a sick child." The study is published in the October issue of the the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. Visconti and her colleagues followed 153 children born with transposition of the great arteries and their parents for four years. In every case, the heart defect was surgically corrected at an urban children's hospital before the age of 3 months.
