One positive behaviour management strategy that I have tried and observed in a classroom setting is encouraging, praising and rewarding appropriate behaviour, as well as modeling/demonstrating the behaviour. I've witnessed firsthand how these strategies outperformed punishing or disciplining students, as well as the advantages they provided. Children require our encouragement and support at all times, not just when they exhibit positive behaviours and when a positive consequence, such as a reward, follows that behaviour, it is very likely that it will happen again, increasing their self-esteem, self-confidence and competence levels. Spending more time promoting positive behaviours rather than responding to negative ones, in my opinion, is more effective for all children involved. Choosing the appropriate/most effective behavioural management strategy is dependent upon the child and different positive strategies would have different effects. Therefore, it is critical to observe, monitor, and assess the child in order to implement the best behavioural management strategy needed for that particular child.
