Behaviour Management Resources and how they can be used at home…

Core Values

• Talk about what each of the words means
• Think together about examples of when you have seen someone in the family use them
• Praise using them, for example, “I’m really pleased to see you are doing your practising your phonics, that is really responsible, well done!” “Trying new foods is courageous, well done!” “Thank you for giving me a cuddle to cheer me up, that is really compassionate.” “Letting that lady go first was really respectful, well done.”

By offering children specific praise and relating it directly to their action they will learn what is expected.

Zones of Regulation

This shows the model we use in school to name emotions and think about how we are feeling. It helps children to understand that there are a range of emotions, they may be called different names and there are subtleties between them. It is important to emphasise that all emotions are ok and we might need help to work through them. There are tools that can help us.

Regulation ideas

Before we can reflect with a child about their behaviour and repair the situation they need to be regulated i.e. their big feelings have calmed. We know as adults that talking about a situation and making something right can be really hard. This resource shows some ideas for regulating emotions and moving into the green zone.

Emotion Coaching

 

There is a resource explaining what emotion coaching is and the background information behind it. We have written a script you could use to take you through the 4 stages. Remember if a child is very dysregulated you might need to wait until they are calm, however sometimes the experience of an adult noticing their behaviour and hearing them helps them to calm.

Reflection and Repair Sheet

This is a resource we use in school to reflect on a situation and think about what happened, who has been affected and what could have been done differently. It also guides the child to repair the situation for example by saying sorry or tidying up.

Supporting behaviour at home

We have put together a number of documents to support you with behaviour management at home. Below the documents are available for you to download if you would like to use them.

We hope these resources will be helpful. If there is anything else you would find useful and so would like added please let the office know. If you have any questions about using the resources please speak to your child’s class teacher in the first instance.
