I posted this question yesterday,and
am still confused. Can someone please help?
Which is one of the best ways teachers
can help chldren deal with stress:
1.Applying proper behavior management
techniques.
(or)
2. Providing soothing and relaxing
hands-on activities.
My textbook sates, "to councel them in
appropriate behavior management techniques."
But, my textbook also states,
"to provide progressive management
techniques,and provide relaxation
activities."(such as make-believe,let's
pretend,books and stories,movement activities,art activities,dramatic play,
using music for relaxation).
With all this said would the correct answer be 1 or 2. I am thinking
the correct answer is 1, but not sure.
Please help!!!!
Appropriate behavior management techniques would include teaching a child to hit a pillow rather than a classmate when he's angry.
I still think 1 is the best answer.
In the light of what your book is saying, I would put down both answers and cite the book and page and even line if needed.
To answer the question of which is one of the best ways teachers can help children deal with stress, we need to carefully analyze the information provided. It seems that your textbook has mentioned two approaches: applying proper behavior management techniques (option 1) and providing soothing and relaxing hands-on activities (option 2).
According to your textbook, "to counsel them in appropriate behavior management techniques," indicates that teachers should engage in behavior management approaches to help children cope with stress. This means helping children understand and adopt positive behaviors and responses to stressful situations. One example mentioned in your question is teaching a child to hit a pillow instead of a classmate when feeling angry. Therefore, option 1 aligns with this information.
On the other hand, your textbook also states, "to provide progressive management techniques, and provide relaxation activities," which suggests that teachers should employ both behavior management techniques and relaxation activities to help children deal with stress. These relaxation activities can include make-believe, let's pretend, books and stories, movement activities, art activities, dramatic play, and using music for relaxation.
Based on the information provided, it would be appropriate to consider both options 1 and 2 as potential correct answers. It seems that your textbook emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach, combining behavior management techniques with soothing and relaxing hands-on activities. Therefore, to accurately represent the information from your textbook, you might want to write both options and reference the specific page or line in your textbook that supports each approach.
In summary, it appears that the correct answer could be both option 1 (applying proper behavior management techniques) and option 2 (providing soothing and relaxing hands-on activities), as your textbook suggests the importance of both approaches. However, to be absolutely sure, it would be best to verify the specific information and references in your textbook.
