| Behaviour Isn't Getting Any Better? Then You're On The Wrong Track!!! |

So, to the harsh reality of the heading of this article. If they're not behaving then you're not doing it right.... Oh Liz, that really is harsh. Maybe it is harsh - but it's true.... Either as a school (and kids' behaviour should be an all school issue) or in individual classrooms, if behaviour isn't improving (and presumably people want it to?) then something is being done wrongly. The great thing is though, anyone can learn the skills to effectively manage children's behaviour. As I've written before - skill and confidence are the keys to success.
So, to the harsh reality of the heading of this article. If they're not behaving then you're not doing it right.... Oh Liz, that really is harsh. Maybe it is harsh - but it's true.... Either as a school (and kids' behaviour should be an all school issue) or in individual classrooms, if behaviour isn't improving (and presumably people want it to?) then something is being done wrongly. The great thing is though, anyone can learn the skills to effectively manage children's behaviour. As I've written before - skill and confidence are the keys to success. It's exactly the same as any other skill or technique that you want to master. You have to know what to do, practice doing it, and then keep on doing it and taking it on a step further to extend your knowledge, skill and confidence. I've been practising my skills for years now - if you've read Behaviour Bible you'll know about my first day dealing with children's extreme behaviour. Well, strictly speaking I wasn't dealing with it. It was a complete disaster - dreadful. I hadn't got any idea what I was doing. I was at the same stage as many people I talk to and observe now. I had no choice but to develop management techniques that would give me the results I needed to manage these very challenging children. But, there were no courses - I was on my own and I had to learn quickly. I use my very successful behaviour management strategies in my classroom every day and I pass on my knowledge and experience to teachers, parents, ancillary workers and dinner staff so they can become confident too. And believe me, you can see positive results in just a few minutes. Manage behaviour in the right way and you get a completely different response from the children - they just know and sense the difference in you.. While I've been working with extreme behaviour the situation in schools has become far worse and bad behaviour is so common in schools that there's a danger of it being thought of as normal. Adults should be appalled by behaviour they see but I see people accepting such behaviour. They seem to believe that there's nothing they can do - I call it 'learned helplessness'. There's just a shrug of the shoulders and a 'what do you expect us to do about it?' attitude. Where do you start? Well, you have to decide whether what you're doing is giving you the results that you want. Usually when I ask someone this question the answer is, 'No'. In that case I'm afraid that you have to accept that you have to make some changes in your approach to behaviour management. Believe me, when you do this, your life in the classroom becomes massively easier - reduced stress, better results. You can't lose!! You can get all you need to know about successfully managing children's behaviour in Behaviour Bible. A successful and productive classroom is within your grasp. Read about the techniques, practise them and use them consistently. About the Author: Liz Marsden is a highly respected behaviour management specialist who manages challenging behaviour considered unmanageable by other teachers and professionals.
