Support for positive behavior is a great tool how to promote positive vibes and a desire to act better. A teacher from Daugavpils 4th special needs pre-school educational institution, group name \u201cFairytale\u201d, named Ir\u012bna Ahipova shares her experience on how to their institution works with children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn our preschool educational institution, we are starting the programme \u201cSupport for Positive Behavior\u201d. Because of this project us \u2013 the teachers are searching and using various ideas to promote a very simple and a very important thing in our group \u2013 positive behavior. To help the children become more responsible and to understand responsibility in relation with their behavior. It is important to remember that positive self-esteem and trust should be developed from very young age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Self-esteem is very important for children. It is the main component of the creation of one\u2019s personality. If self-esteem is appropriate aka the child can objectively view their abilities, then that can already be is a huge step towards a successful life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To motive children for positive behavior, for the children to be able to evaluate their own behavior and to notice their own successes, I decided to create \u201csuccess situations\u201d for the children. By creating a success situation, children become more confident and their self-esteem raises. Experience and appreciation for their actions reinforces motivation and allow them to tackle much harder tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I got the idea \u2013 \u201cLong Bean\u201d. At the end of every day, children can evaluate their successes and behavior, what was successful, what has to be worked on and children do that all on their own. On every locker there is a small, understandable table, where children draw an emoticon \u2013 a smiley face, if everything was a success, or a sad face, if they have to try more, or any other face, that the child chooses. In this interesting and simple idea, there is one rule. After self-evaluation, children count how many smiley faces they have. And the rule is following \u2013 every child can take the same amount of beans from their bank (jar) as they have smiley faces collected. During one day a child can collect up to five beans. Every jar has levels. When they reach the highest level of the jar, they can expect a surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
