Case: Offering Children Candy or Sweets as a reward
In our classroom we have many behaviors and I want to say something but the CT is not receptive of advice. I feel like what she is doing is a disaster waiting to happen, but by the same token I respect her position in the classroom. Now I have worked with this situation on so many occasions where if you want the student to do something that is causing disruption you offer them candy or cookies, to me behaviors are learned and I feel like these children know if they disrupt the class to get them to stop the behavior they are offered a treat. What I see is the child getting more aggressive when they want the treat so they start doing more disturbing behaviors to get it, while she makes the excuse that their meds are making them like that. What should be done so she can see the bigger picture?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I am a big fan of incentives, especially working with problem behaviors. I go to work so I can get paid, so I don't expect my students to work without some type of reward. However, food is not the best answer. I recommend using desired activities as incentives for students, but they first must complete the desired task. "First you do this, then you can do that." You have to be consistent in your rewards and consequences. You also should not reward students for following rules and expectations. |
