HANDLING RAMPANT BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS IN KINDERGARTEN CLASS

INTRODUCTION

Being a teacher gives me many roles, obligations and responsibilities not

just to mold the young minds but also to mold them whole as human being. But it
is a great challenge when behavioral problems are rampant and visible in my
class; it is no exemptions, especially in kindergarten, with the young ones.

Back then, year 2010, I started teaching. I started as a Grade-Five adviser,

later on I became a subject teacher and lastly, year 2012 up to now my
concentration in the field of teaching is in kindergarten. Im teaching at Molave
Regional Pilot School-South Regular, headed by Mr. Jaime T. Pag-ong. Where I am
exposed to the said behavioral problems

CONTENT
If my pupil in kindergarten class is prone to behavior outburst, I feel
desperate to find ways to stop the behavior or at least reduce the intensity. As
one quote says, Why do it tomorrow, when we can do it today. It is very
important to solve or make an immediate action on such rampant behavioral
problems, so that the child will not carry it all along as he/she will grow up.

But it is not easy for me as a teacher to find solutions and make actions on
the problem because I am handling the sensitive minds. I consider this problem
very difficult and challenging but as I said it must be dealt.

After everyday struggles, I came to consider and understand first why a child
shows common behavioral problem such as, lying, disrespectful, impulsive
behavior, whining, aggression and temper tantrums. As a result, Ive learned that
a child use their behavior to show how theyre felling and what theyre thinking.
Sometimes they are communicating something through their behavior that they
cant express it verbally. Child showing such behavior may lack of attention,
copying behavior from others and testing limits either to the teacher or to
parents. All these learnings help me in order to have the best way of showing an
action to the problem and help me in determining what kind of discipline action to
take or to show to address misbehavior.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Therefore I conclude that most 5 years old strive to be more independent

than theyre capable of being and they often enjoy experimenting with their
behavior, and for me many of it are what we called behavioral problems. Now, my
biggest role begins here, making an appropriate action on the problem and being
prepared always to respond to the most common behavioral problems with
effective discipline strategies to make sure these behaviors dont last.

I strongly recommended, as I tested it already to know first the reasons

behind such misbehaviors and then take appropriate actions. Then discipline the
child. Disciplining requires a lot of patients and hard work. Some of this are: A.)
Set clear limits, Setting the rules in classroom all the time; B.) Praise, so that the
child will be encourage and it will help to promote good behavior; C.) Teach
alternatives, to meet his needs, finding ways what technique where he/she will
find joy in learning; D.) Give rewards, to give motivation to the kids; E.) Have a
heart to heart conference to the child. And if this will not work out, I talked to
their parents personally regarding the childs behavior so that parents will their
part this time in disciplining their child. All adults, children and parents should
understand the role that they can play in preventing and stopping misbehaviors.
