Addditional information: -The proposed pathways for the QRIS modernization are currently on the DCDEE website for public review and commnets. Addtional informmation for challenging behaviors: -Injury Prevention Anticipating the need for appropriate behavior management equips providers with the knowledge they need to effectively manage misbehavior—and may prevent frustration which can lead to inappropriate reactions rather than a nurturing response and positive guidance. When there is a plan, a provider can utilize the tools in their toolbelt rather than reacting in real time when emotions may be running high; doing so helps to prevent mistakes that might result in physical and emotional harm to a child. Some injuries occur when a provider grabs or holds onto a child to control the child’s behavior. If in an agitated state, the provider may use force and leave marks or cause dislocations, such as Nursemaid’s Elbow. Or a provider might have the impulse to restrain a misbehaving child, however therapeutic holds may only be used if indicated in a child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) and the caregiver must follow the documented procedures outlined in the IEP. It’s important to have knowledge of your facility’s discipline policy and any individual needs of the children in your care; doing so helps you to anticipate these challenges for proper behavior management! Appropriate Techniques "Why are the children acting this way? What are the children trying to gain by misbehaving?" Those are the questions that should go through your mind when a child misbehaves. A child might misbehave because they feel rejected, insecure, or discouraged, or the child lacks knowledge and experience. It could be the child is upset by their environment, highlighting a need for an adjustment to the classroom. The child may feel unloved, lack confidence, want attention, or maybe they are testing limits. Perhaps the child simply does not feel well. Whatever the cause of misbehavior, the goal of discipline is to support children as they learn to regulate their emotions and behavior using positive guidance to teach acceptable behavior—not to punish a misbehaving child. The Pyramid Model is an evidence-based framework for promoting young children’s healthy social and emotional development. The National Center for Pyramid Model Intervention provides a 2-page handout on Tips for Responding to Challenging Behavior in Young Children focused on positive guidance rather than punishment. Keeping this in mind, be sure to set clear and consistent rules when creating/revising your discipline policy. The rules should focus on the behavior you would like to see rather than the behavior to be avoided. Additionally, providers should receive professional development for promoting healthy social and emotional skills, preventing problem behaviors, and providing effective intervention strategies when needed.

Addditional information: -The proposed pathways for the QRIS modernization are currently on the DCDEE website for public review and commnets. Addtional informmation for challenging behaviors: -Injury Prevention Anticipating the need for appropriate behavior management equips providers with the knowledge they need to effectively manage misbehavior—and may prevent frustration which can lead to inappropriate reactions rather than a nurturing response and positive guidance. When there is a plan, a provider can utilize the tools in their toolbelt rather than reacting in real time when emotions may be running high; doing so helps to prevent mistakes that might result in physical and emotional harm to a child. Some injuries occur when a provider grabs or holds onto a child to control the child’s behavior. If in an agitated state, the provider may use force and leave marks or cause dislocations, such as Nursemaid’s Elbow. Or a provider might have the impulse to restrain a misbehaving child, however therapeutic holds may only be used if indicated in a child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) and the caregiver must follow the documented procedures outlined in the IEP. It’s important to have knowledge of your facility’s discipline policy and any individual needs of the children in your care; doing so helps you to anticipate these challenges for proper behavior management! Appropriate Techniques "Why are the children acting this way? What are the children trying to gain by misbehaving?" Those are the questions that should go through your mind when a child misbehaves. A child might misbehave because they feel rejected, insecure, or discouraged, or the child lacks knowledge and experience. It could be the child is upset by their environment, highlighting a need for an adjustment to the classroom. The child may feel unloved, lack confidence, want attention, or maybe they are testing limits. Perhaps the child simply does not feel well. Whatever the cause of misbehavior, the goal of discipline is to support children as they learn to regulate their emotions and behavior using positive guidance to teach acceptable behavior—not to punish a misbehaving child. The Pyramid Model is an evidence-based framework for promoting young children’s healthy social and emotional development. The National Center for Pyramid Model Intervention provides a 2-page handout on Tips for Responding to Challenging Behavior in Young Children focused on positive guidance rather than punishment. Keeping this in mind, be sure to set clear and consistent rules when creating/revising your discipline policy. The rules should focus on the behavior you would like to see rather than the behavior to be avoided. Additionally, providers should receive professional development for promoting healthy social and emotional skills, preventing problem behaviors, and providing effective intervention strategies when needed.
