Using the ABC Chart to Prevent Behavior

Page 30

There can be many reasons as to why any mistaken behavior can occur in a classroom. The ABC Chart can help determine what factors you can change to control or prevent the behaviors.  

Some things to consider:

Daily Schedule
Schedule considerations may be made to prevent anxiety and other feelings which may lead to mistaken behaviors. 

Toys and provided materials 
Providing ample toys for children in the classroom can help prevent common toy stealing or boredom mistaken behaviors. 

Create a safe environment  
Along with following licensing requirements for safety in the classroom, encourage a positive and safe environment for all children. 

Avoid major change (including transitions)   
Changes can upset a child’s sense of security which can lead to frustration, anxiety and other strong emotions that may trigger mistaken behavior. 

Engage children   
Be sure that materials and activities are developmentally appropriate and engaging for all children so that children are not bored or frustrated which can lead to various mistaken behaviors.
