Discipline and Fathers Everybody agrees that children need their freedom. Yet on the other hand everybody agrees there is a need for greater discipline. This is the contradiction every parent faces in bringing up their own children. According to Lamb in ‘The father’s role: Cross-cultural perspectives’ research emphasizes the important role of fathers in helping children to learn the standards of behavior for their group and to develop the capacity of self-regulation. When fathers are absent, curtail, or ignore their child-rearing responsibilities, there are implications throughout the family system. Mothers are likely to feel unsupported, abandoned, angry, and resentful. The resulting tension exacerbates the child’s challenging behaviors. Lack of parental involvement by the father leaves the mother as the sole unsupported teacher of social skills and deprives the child of another role model. Campbell says in ‘Behavior Problems in Preschool Children: Clinical and Developmental Issues’ when fathers do not participate in child rearing, the results can be heightened intensity and duration of mother–child conflict and problems in discipline.

RESEARCH!!!!

In regards to children who have behavior problems. The first thing that you have to look at with children who have “behavior” problems is their parents. Second is if there is an underlying cause for the behavior. Like chemical imbalance or brain injury. What can be done for them is to first find the cause and then address the issue accordingly. Having worked in the public school system for several years I have found that many of the behavior problems stem from “parenting styles” . Go and visit a local grade school and interview some teachers they will have some great input. Good Luck in your research.

I need some ideas on how to promote positive behavior in a 9th grader who has been diagnoised with emotional disturbance. Thanks for any ideas!
i have no idea why the behaviors exist. i am the teacher. he is bad in class. i need to help him someway……..

I am so thankful for all the caring teachers such as you. The emotional disturbance could be any number of mental problems. He could have OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), Bipolar, ADHD, ODD (oppositional defiant disorder) or something else I would suggest you speak to the school counselor who may have some great suggestions for you and then maybe hold a parent-teacher conference on how to handle him in school. Since the parents have dealt with him all his life, they probably know some things that work better than others and maybe they can explain his diagnosis so you can research it. Since he has an emotional disorder he may be eligible for special ed resources unless he’s already in special ed…has anyone ever evaluated him for additional resource help? I would suggest eye contact, taking him aside and letting him know it’s not acceptable behavior, that you believe in him, and use consistency then work on positive reinforcement. If he does show good behavior in class at any point let him know after class what is was that you liked and appreciated. Keep trying to notice any amount of the good behavior and keep letting him know about it. Maybe eventually he will start trying harder to please you so he doesn’t let you down. Kids really don’t want to be a failure. You may become the teacher that made a positive difference in his life that he will remember forever and appreciate what you did for him. When kids, with problems like his, are constantly told they are bad, they start believing it and they stop trying because “what’s the use”. Your school librarian probably has books on ADHD and there are really good tips on handling defiance. I wish you luck.

It is the child that acts a certain way in an environment. A child can do something for attention, yet in the same environment a sibling of the same age and gender can react totaly different. People blame parents… and then the parents blame themselves… can’t it be ok that we are all doing our best…. why must we be blamed or cristisized if our child acts a certain way?
Face it we are products of our environment. When a small child acts out in public people will look the other way, or try to sooth the child. When they are tots it is acceptable for them to throw fits, or cry for no reason. When the child is nine ten eleven even at five or six the public expects you to have instilled proper behavior skills in them. When a seven year old is throwing a fit in a store people expect to see you either correct them or remove them. Its not that people think you arent doing your best, they think that you should handle the right now to their satifaction. Think about it this way, you are a parent, their parent, and NO_ONE has the right to judge your parenting skills. We can only hope and pray that they dont totally embarrass us, and when they do, all we can do is grin and thank god that we have them at all.
