¶ … working with a small group of children from years 4 doing a reading activity sheet set by the teacher. One child is being disruptive and "off task."
It is possible the child is off-task because he or she is not quite developmentally ready either for pre-reading tasks or tasks that include worksheets. The child might be feeling somewhat insecure. Like the child who is given a toy too advanced for him and plays with the box instead of the boy, the child might be in a little too deep. I would sit by the child and encourage him, simplifying the task for him if necessary, providing moral support and using his paper as an example so he would have the help he needs. Probably proximity alone would calm his behavior but he might need more than that.
A couple of older preschoolers are teasing a child with cerebral palsy by imitating some of his gestures and movements. This is totally against school policy, which advocates a caring, inclusive atmosphere and is distressing for the preschooler in the wheelchair.
The children are teasing because they do not understand. I would gather some books written for very young children about children...
Since this is an inclusive atmosphere, they may encounter children with varied differences. I would incorporate these kinds of materials into the curriculum on a regular basis. I would also seek the help of an adaptive physical education teacher so we could develop ways to play games the child in the wheelchair could participate in. I would also look for a few child-sized wheelchairs to borrow so the other children could try using them. Then we could talk about ways wheelchairs help, and ways they're not really very convenient. With the parents' permission, I would explain, simply, why this child uses a wheelchair. Part of this education would be reminders that teasing is not a friendly thing to do.
3. You are working individually with a year 5 child who is meant to be completing a math activity sheet set by the teacher. Instead of working, she wants to engage you in a long conversation about what she did on the weekend with her family.
I don't think 30 seconds of conversation will hurt anything, and will allow the child to get the weekend's activities off her mind so she can think about the math assignment. However, if…
Carl Rogers is among the small group of enlightened, visionary individuals that stand as giants in the field of psychology. Due to the theories that Rogers developed not only in psychology but in theories of education, he is considered, as Constance Holden writes, "…one of the grand old men of American psychology and a leading figure in the postwar development of humanistic psychology" (Holden, 1997, p. 31). This paper reviews his
Working Parents and Daycare Within this paper, an examination of factors related to daycare for preschool children in the U.S. will be presented. As working parents have increasingly had to rely on daycare as an option for child care and as a means for insuring that they were able to maintain employment and wages for their families, the information provided offers an analysis of daycare services and their potential influence on
Istanbul's native born has made little or not contribution to the population growth due to its near or below-replacement levels of reproduction (Population pp). Child prostitution is a world wide urban social phenomenon and is considered one of the worst contemporary forms of slavery (Kantay Pp). Moreover, child prostitution is one of the most difficult and dangerous forms of child labor (Kuntay Pp). Due to the invisibility of the children involved,

Group counseling helps to advance self understanding and awareness which may combat repressive tendencies. Teaching coping skills in a group setting can help participants to develop needed tools and stimulate psychological growth (Lambie & Sias, 2009). Participants in group counseling also learn positive interpersonal/social skills that can be generalized beyond the hospital setting and applied in daily living (Shechtman, 2004). Cancer patients learn to adapt to novel social situations and
