Peer Response
It is absolutely of great importance to have a professional approach when dealing with the young ones. It is essential to note that the younger children have mastery of actions and tend to behave in the same way they saw others behave. When putting up with the young ones in any setup, there are those things that we want them to know, and there are those that we don’t want to see. I am in the most robust agreement with Kellie Lewis on observational instilled characters in the young ones. Kellie claims that it shouldn’t be viewed as challenging but should be taken up with ease. Kellie explains the Psychological reactance, which enacts when behavior is under threat, it is eliminated. For example, when kids are arguing about the number of bites on shared eating stuff.
A study carried out by sanders and Pennebaker tried to stop the kids from vandalizing school walls. The kids in the school had kept graffitiing the school walls as if it were a game. The two researchers Sanders and Pennebaker put up some signs on the school walls. After this, there was a significant drop in the number of students who drew the walls. From this study, it was noted that there would be a considerable understanding among the students that messing with school walls is a serious crime with a bit of pressure. Among the students’ pressures would be the implication of a suspension or a punishment on any students that messes the walls.
In conclusion, I agree with Kellie’s thoughts on making the young understand and know what we want them to know. If you want your kids to be washing utensils after any meal, you should do that when you have dinner. Through the observations of your actions, they will do exactly what you do. In other words, the kids absorb and reflect on what you do and what you persuade them to do.
