Analyze actual behavior problems and guidance approaches in a setting where you know the children. Cases in which you are the adult providing the guidance will prove the most instructive.

Step 1. Describe the behavioral problem situation.

Step 2. Based on your knowledge of the children involved, state the probable cause.

Step 3. Describe the adult intervention that addresses the cause.

Step 4. Describe the children’s response to the intervention.

Step 5. If the approach was not helpful, was it unsuccessful because it did not address the actual cause or because one intervention was not enough?

Step 6. If a different cause is suggested, plan and describe a different strategy for the next time.

Step 7. Provide an analysis of the case supported by professional resources and theories.
