Teaching routines
Happy New Year!
Here is an extract from an article published in the latest edition of Teach Nursery magazine.
Teach routines from the start. Don’t wait until poor habits become second nature before you try to intervene. Teach every child precisely how to treat you, how to treat others and how to treat the resources. Children and adults thrive on routines. The world is more consistent, more predictable and feels safer with routine. For children with behaviour related conditions, ADHD, Asperger’s, Autism the icons are essential hooks. They must be clear and impossible to misinterpret. You might try using photographs of the children demonstrating the behaviours that you want to see as your symbols. Reduce the symbols to stamp size and they can also be presented and collected. Through the ritual of reinforcement the routine is kept at the forefront of the fast paced mind of the toddler.
