Support Children and Young People with Behaviour Emotional and Social Development Needs
Unit/Outcome
1 - 1.1 Right from birth children develop their behaviour and social skills from what they experience at home. This experience should be caring, loving and supportive, it should provide children with the opportunity to develop and interact as much as possible. Children need to be exposed to as many experiences as feasible, so that not only can they learn and develop, but they can have their main carers/parents support. This will allow a child to learn to deal with different situations.
Sadly, for some children their home circumstances or the way in which they are brought up can be lacking in several areas, for many reasons such as poverty, lone parenting, religion etc. There are children who experience lack of interest and attention and sometimes worse violence and abuse, such things are likely to develop into social, behavioural and emotional difficulties.
Families will have different views on the expectations of a child’s behaviour this can be either from family to family or between one parent and another in the same household. Problems can arise through the mixed messages and inconsistencies. Children will become confused and will not understand the boundaries which are very important in a child’s development. Children need attention from adults and unfortunately, they may learn that the only way to attract this is through bad behaviour.
Children with serious ill health or disability will not only face difficulties in their own health, but also their ability to interact with others. They may not only find it difficult to physically interact with friends but also may have communication issues. This will affect their ability to deal with difficult situations.
When children experience a delay in their emotional health they are less likely to be able to change from one stage to another. Emotional health is critical to all other areas of a child’s development.
1 - 1.2 Negative or traumatic experiences can affect children in several ways
