SHOW N TEACH, NOT TELL

Teach me what I should do, not tell me what I should not do

Synopsis:

A replacement behaviour is an alternative behaviour that allows a child to meet the same need or achieve a similar outcome as the undesired behaviour they are currently using. As a teacher or parent, make the time purposeful by teaching and practicing with the child the alternative behaviour. This workshop supports you in coming up with a step-by-step guide in behavioural terms to teach the child what to do instead.

Key areas covered:

• 6 main purposes of misbehaviours in children
• Triggers, behaviours and consequences
• Replacement behaviours for misbehaviours

Objectives:

Participants will be able to

• recognise the triggers and consequences that set off the behaviours
• teach replacement or alternative behaviours for misbehaviours
• understand why children misbehave
