1GUIDING CHILDREN’S BEHAVIOURRESPONSES TO DIFFICULT BEHAVIOUR1) Eight-year-old twins, Kieran and Daniel, have been fighting with fisticuffs, on and offall afternoon.Strategy: Making uses of consequences- no playtime and TV for both Kieran and Daniel forthat evening.Reason for such a strategyIn such a situation, corporal punishment or a verbal thrashing might have a converseeffect o the children. Although fighting is highly disagreeable, eight-year-old boys will fightnow and then and this probably cannot be stopped entirely1. What can be done is to preventthem from fighting by using negative consequences. Not being able to go to play while theirfriends are at it will make the children realise their fault, and that brothers and friends are forplaying with and sharing thoughts, not for fighting. Television has a telling influence onchildren, to an addictive extent2. Debarring them from watching their favourite show willmake them teach them that, if they fight again, they will miss more precious things like TVand games.1 Cowie, Helen.
