Overview

What is This Course About?

The Online Child Behaviour Course gets down to discussing the development of behaviour in the early years of life. It tackles some of the theories and environmental and innate influences that impact the foundation of children’s behaviour. It also covers essential concepts relevant to the subject, such as emotional intelligence, temperament and modelling. Issues such as bullying and psychological disorders and how they affect or influence children’s behaviour are also touched upon the course. A couple of expert techniques and approaches that can be used to deal with challenging behaviour are also provided within.

Children display a range of behaviour, some of which are regarded as unacceptable by adults. However, it should be pointed out that the way a child behaves is a result of a variety of factors, including genes, environment, and the presence of a disorder. The first step to understanding and addressing a particular behaviour, especially when it is deemed unacceptable, is to know what could be causing it. Through this course, students will have a clear orientation on the subject of child behaviour, particularly the nature, causes and available interventions for problematic behaviours in children. With such knowledge, they should be able to develop better understanding of how children behave and adapt effective techniques and approaches to manage young children’s behaviour.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
