...observation that is done through Event Sampling aims to: 1. Observe systematically the temper tantrum behavior of my younger brother. 2. Study the cause of why the temper tantrum behavior took place. 3. Analyze and assess the behavior of my younger brother to know and find ways on how to reduce its occurence. Methodology Research Setting. The event sampling took place in the observer and subject’s residence in Block 5 Lot 10 S&V Townhomes, Bajac, Liloan, Cebu during the 1st ,5th, and 7th of March in the year 2016. Research Participants. The subject of the study was the observer’s youngest brother (a 6 year old, first grader). The subject was chosen because the observer wanted to know the cause of it’s temper tantrum as a child. While the co observer for the study was the observer’s younger brother (a 15 year old, ninth grader), he was chosen because of his availability and he was the only one fit to do the job during the day of observation. Instrument. The observer and the co observer only used a pen and paper for tallying the number of times the temper tantrums behavior occur during each observation period. Procedure. Each observation lasted for an hour since the target behavior which was the temper tantrums of the subject does not happen frequently, the observer tallied the occurence of the behavior through Stroke Recording. Each temper tantrum behavior has a designated category which was based on the literature. During the second...

...seems to be the subject they're not getting what they want that day at that moment. And it doesn't bother me that it's happening, the thing that bothers me is that parents give in to their child's or children's demand and walks them back into Walmart, Toys R Us, Target or whatever store that I happen to be at that day and them whatever it is that they want. It's kind of sad to see that today's kids lack discipline and that parents don't do anything about it beside turn. Kids today are spoiled and parents are not doing what is necessary to fix. As I said last kids are spoiled, at least kinds where I live are spoiled. I believe it starts with the parents. Parents who don't feel like standing their ground because their kids happen to throw a tantrum, cry, and complain at them. Parents have become pushovers and cave in at the signs that their children might become upset or cause a scene. The parents have I believe gotten lazy when it comes to keeping their kids in line or so self-absorb they care more about their image and how their children are acting. Parent who believe that they can buy their children's affection by giving them everything they want. Are just as bad those parents are just trying to fill a void that they have made with material items saying yes to everything their children have to say for the sake of having their children loving them. In the end it all falls down to the parent. Parents need to step it up a little and be firm on where they stand and put their foot down...

...Functional Behavioral Assessment Short Paper Patricia W. Cole ECE 201 Intro to Early Childhood Behavioral Management Instructor: Amy Johnson November 4, 2013 Functional Behavioral Assessment Short Paper It is stated in our text “Every challenging behavior can be thought as a child’s solution to a problem and a form of communication”(Kasier & Rasminsky, 2013).These ideas go back to Plato, Who said “ That a crying baby’s behavior serves a function; she is trying to get someone to care for her”( Durand, 1990). Teachers collect data so they can determine the child’s behavior and the function of that behavior. The first thing to do is to do an informal observation. This will help the teacher to figure out when and how often this behavior happens and if it is a challenging behavior. After the teachers dose her informal observation then she will enlist help from others to do a functional assessment. “This will provide the teacher with the information for a positive behavior support plan”(Kasier & Rasminsky, 2013). With the convene team in place which is made up of family, teachers, principle and anyone else that has been part of the child’s surroundings, with all that information, now the team can work out an effective support plan for the child. In our text on page 201 gives an outline on Steps for Success, “which are steps for performing a functional assessment and creating an individualized positive behavioral support plan for a child with a challenging behavior”...

...does not like in school? Clara your mom and dad say you do not like school anymore can you tell me why? Assessment I would like to know when you first noticed Clara acting out. I would ask what is the standard or norm for Clara on any given day. I would need to know more about Clara surroundings at her school to see if there was indeed a reason for her recent temper tantrums. If this is the first time this has happened perhaps there is a root cause that needs to be explored (validity of compliant). I would ask Clara to draw me a picture of what is scaring her at school and talk to me about it. Intervention I would ask the parents to write down each time Clara had one of these tantrums and the events that lead up to it. Knowing this information would give a better overall picture of what is happening. Clara is adopted so I would ask Mr. and Mrs. Lawson if they have any medical background on Clara’s biological parents. How long Clara has been with them?

...growing up there was a thing called discipline, at which you don’t see much of anymore. The amounts of the homeless people have grown and foster homes were around, but not like now. In the new decades there are more and more children growing up without parents and they are sent to foster homes. Also, when I was younger technology was at a stand-still. Discipline was used when I grew up. There was no such thing as back talking without getting back-handed or a bar of soap in your mouth. Nowadays there are so many undisciplined children it is ridiculous. At the same time if they are to try and discipline a child, there is more of a chance you can get into trouble by the law. Temper tantrums were not even tolerated, now if you walk into a store you are almost guaranteed to see a kid having a temper tantrum. Everyone these days know of ‘Foster Homes.’ Growing up they were around, but not widely used. There are a lot of children these days that have no parents, or are taken from their parents due to neglect. Back in the 60’s or 70’s they were around, but not as common as they are now. Even the amounts of homeless people have grown tremendously over the years. You will tend to see more homeless children than ever before! Another change that there has been growing up, is the advancement of technology. Do you remember pagers? I do, I can promise you though that no child growing up now would even have a slight idea of what it was. I remember computers weren’t as common...

...see Dr. Mason, a psychiatrist. Clara was polite in greeting Dr. Mason, but did not smile and kept her gaze down as she took a seat. Mr. and Mrs. Lawson sat next to Clara and began explaining their concerns. They described Clara as a quiet child who has recently begun throwing temper tantrums, during which she is inconsolable. Her sleep and eating patterns have changed, and she no longer wants to go to preschool. 1. What other information would you like to learn during the interview with the family? What questions would you ask? Have there been any changes in Clara’s home life that might have triggered the tantrums’? Do you know about her birth family? Do you know if any kind of mental disabilities such as bi-polar or schizophrenia? How does Clara throw the tantrum? Is it that she is just acting out or is something really wrong? This is important to know because a parent can tell if a child is just trying to get attention. How long now has Clara been attending this preschool? Did the parents do research on the school’s employees or did they just pick the first preschool they found? Have there been any new staff members to start working at the preschool since Clara has been throwing these tantrums? Have there been any deaths in the family human or animal? 2. In addition to the clinical interview, what other clinical assessment tools should you consider? Why? Using toys and dolls in roll playing could help shed some light into the foundation of Clara’s troubles...

...POSITIVE CHILD GUIDANCE It is important to remember that almost all young children display stages of “inappropriate” or challenging behaviours such as biting, tantrums, clinging or hitting at various times in their development. These behaviours are usually short-lived and typically improve with guidance and age. There are some children, however, whose challenging behaviours may increase and result in injury to self or others, cause damage to property, interfere with acquiring new skills and/or social isolation. This report investigates the possible causes for challenging behaviors (focusing primarily on tantrums and biting) in infants, toddlers and young children and positive child guidance strategies that are important as the basis for intervention and prevention. It is important to intervene in such a way that appropriate, pro-social behaviors are taught, modeled, and reinforced to ensure lifelong success.

...As parents we spend the majority of our days trying to shape our children into successful people. We guide them in how to act, what to say, how to dress, how to communicate with others – the list is never-ending. However I’m sure that everyone can relate to having those situations where your kids have opened their mouths or performed some kind of action that has made you step back and think, “WOW… I could really learn a lot from that!” Here are five examples of different lessons we can learn from watching our kids: 1. Don’t hang onto the negative, just forgive and forget Little kids can get mad; in fact they can get REALLY mad. But they rarely hold onto that anger. They may throw the world’s biggest temper tantrum and within minutes be smiling and happy all over again. As we get older we gravitate more towards holding grudges, and hanging onto that negativity only adds unnecessary stress to our lives. Sometimes it’s best to get mad and then get over it. 2. When you’re full you should stop eating This seems so basic but one quick look at the alarming rate of overweight and obese adults can show otherwise. Society has conditioned us to think that we need to finish everything on our plates and leave no morsel behind. You can’t force kids to eat past their limit though – when they’re done, they’re done – something we could certainly learn a thing or two from. 3. You can only continue to grow by continuing to experience Little kids are filled with wonder...

...separating from their parents because some has never been away from them since birth. For Shane I will talk to mom before the first day and ask her if it is possible for her to drop him off and leave quickly instead of hanging around. I will explain her that hanging around will only make him upset longer. I will also practice fun ways to say bye with Shane that will eventually calm him when parting. Majority of my students are four some are five so I think pairing them up with a buddy in the class will be helpful. Their buddy will be there when they need a hug or even encouraging words when they are upset. I want to do whatever I can to make sure the students in my class are comfortable but I also do not want them to think it is ok to throw tantrums. After Shane is calmed down I will invite him to join the rest of the class. I will give him a hug or let him know in some other way how he can get my attention when his behavior is good. I do think that eventually Shane will get better. If his parents and I work together on both ends he will know that he will not get attention when he is acting out. I will continue doing this throughout the whole school year so Shane will continue to do better. I think this is a Montessori approach. I say this because it meets the child were they are already and it allows...

...Myers-Briggs Assessment I will discuss the concepts of my personality type and cognitive style results from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment; a personality test. I will give an analysis of my results; discuss favorable employment based on the profile originated for me, compare and contrast the results based on how I see myself, and my dominant cognitive patterns. According to my MBTI assessment I’m an INFJ personality. I’m 33% introvert, 50% intuitive, 25% intuitive feeling and 22% judging. The results seem pretty accurate with my personality. The profile states that INFJs hold deep convictions about the weightier matters of life, which I do. According to the profile INFJs are often found in the wake of an emergency, rescuing those who are in acute distress, and are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden which I always find myself doing. I seem to be an arm’s length to anyone in need. People tend to come to me in their time of distress for money (I try to help everyone and go without), someone to talk to (I listen well), or give my opinions or advice (I give the best biblical advice I can). The profile states that INFJs may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless (http://www.humanmetrics.com). I used to have this mind set. As an adult and Christian, this attitude is no longer an option. Romans 12:19 states, Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says...

During the interview with Clara’s family I would begin by asking if there were any recent changes in the household, such as, a new baby or pregnancy, or the loss of a loved one. I would inquire if these behaviors were sudden or a gradual progression. I would ask if the temper tantrums preceded or followed a specific incident or if they appeared for no apparent reason. I would also ask if a specific incident happened at school or if there was an area of concern that the teacher had mentioned that may be causing the lack of desire to attend. I would inquire about the biological parents and if there was any information available about their psychological or physical health or that of any other biological relatives that may be beneficial, including the age Clara was when she was adopted. Upon concluding the initial interview I would look into performing further testing such as a clinical observation so that I could observe Clara in an environment that was more natural to her in the hopes I could gain a better view of her behaviors (Comer, 2011). I would further conduct a mental status exam to help determine Clara’s awareness, orientation, attention span, and memory, thought process, mood, and appearance...

...The study involved assessing tantrum behavior of children and adolescents diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) compared to children with only ADHD. Researchers wanted to evaluate the kinds of behavioral overlaps that were exhibited between these two disorders. It is hypothesized that children with ASD and ADHD have increased behavioral problems because of frustrations in trying to communicate with adults and the results proved the theory. Informants, who were the parents or legal guardians, assessed the subjects’ behaviors. Trained graduated students used the measurements and scores of the 666 children and adolescents by using the Autism Spectrum Disorder Battery-Child Version. This sample pool was decreased to 85 subjects from ages to 3-17 that were diagnosed with ADHD only or ASD with significant ADHD symptomatology. A strength of the study were the types of tests that were used. The ASD-Behavior test is a standard test...
