Abstract |
|||
|
Education is a
life time experience acquired right from birth till the time of
death. It is a life long journey which ought to start from the
moment a child is born till he/she breath his/her last. Guidance
is a generic term for all the helping services provided
(ideally) by the counselor to the individual in need of
direction, instruction, guide or information to enable him or
her understand himself, his world, his challenges/or
opportunities as a way of leading meaningful life. Behaviour
management is the act of guiding both the process of behaviour
development and the general behaviour manifestation of children
under the childcare development programme of the Federal
Government. This paper examines the concept of guidance and
behaviour management with particular reference to the issue of
childcare development. A critical appraisal of the concept and
current practice reveals a dare need for reformation of our
education system to ensure inculcation of purposive, responsible
and culturally relevant behaviour in the children for whom early
child care development centers are established. It was observed
that there is still room for great improvement in the process of
delivering child care development education and thus, the need
for educational reform to be extended to this area. Many
children who have behavioural problems also have being
difficulties or delays in their department. A psychological
evaluation of a child’s verbal and non-verbal abilities is an
input part of his comprehensive assessment. An indebt interview
with the parents for family and behavioural history is important
in determining the presence of any risk factors and social or
emotional problems. The diagnostic team incorporates the
behavioural information from the teacher and parents along with
any other reports and provides their interpretation of data for
proper results achievement.
