To familiarize parents with some of our individual behaviour management strategies & techniques.
At KidHub we believe that forgiveness is essential in helping children grow and learn from their mistakes. If a child seems to be having frequent behavioural issues, a conversation will be had with the child and their parents/guardians about how we can assist them to have a better experience and make better choices and they will be given the chance to be involved in correcting their own behaviour. If the child shows little-to-no progress, the parents are further involved so that we can work together to find a positive resolution.
We believe that it is important to be prepared with a variety of preventative behaviour management strategies in order to encourage positive behaviour in the children at our program and to discourage or limit any negative behaviours from occurring in the first place. Children thrive off of being praised and feeling valued (just like adults!) and we make this a priority at KidHub through the different techniques we use. Individual behaviour management strategies are an important way to help children succeed in contributing to their own positive behaviour and are excellent preventative measures.
Examples of some of the individual behaviour management strategies used at KidHub include:

Sometimes children do not respond to the various behaviour management strategies (whether individual or group) that are attempted and it can become disruptive to the rest of the program and even pose a safety risk. If any child’s behaviour frequently interrupts the operation of our program or creates a safety risk by requiring a staff member to frequently leave the group to assist them in their needs then the child will be placed on a developmentally-appropriate Behaviour Management Plan (BMP). Parents will always be informed when a child has been placed on a BMP in the hopes of working together to make the child’s experience more positive for themselves and all others at KidHub. We encourage and expect that parents will get involved and be active participants in guiding their children to have a more successful time with their behaviour at KidHub. We are more than willing to work with children to try to find a positive resolution and BMPs have proven to be an effective way in doing so at KidHub. However, there are times that children do not respond to our methods even after various strategies have been implemented. After making multiple attempts and trying various behaviour management techniques with a child and there appears to be little-to-no improvement in their behaviour, the parent will be asked to keep their child home from the program for a suspension (at the expense of the client) for a length of time deemed appropriate by KidHub.
