Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
Tell them what you want them to do rather than what you do not want them to do. Give examples that are very clear, and make the suggestions in positive statements rather than beginning with Dont. Reinforce what children do right: catch them at being good. Let them know when they have behaved as you wished. Help them refocus on a task by giving indirect suggestions or reminders instead of commands, emphasizing what you want the child to do. Use positive redirection whenever possible. Encourage children appropriately, being clear about what you are praising. Avoid global praise. Give reasons for your request. Build a positive relationship.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
It means taking child development principles into account when responding to childrens behavior; providing a developmental context in which to understand the behavior; requiring that the teacher consider what is known about the individual child as well as what is typical for the age group; and matching the guidance strategies with the capabilities of the child.
