This chapter discusses the conditions that necessitate intervention for children who cannot resolve conflicts or pose serious disruptions in educational environments. It emphasizes the importance of direct approaches such as giving choices, calming children, and using physical restraint when necessary. Key strategies include allowing children to make personal choices to maintain their dignity, teaching them to articulate their emotions, and guiding them back into groups after separation. A focus on the emotional safety of children is essential to ensure a supportive and controlled environment for learning.

Guidance Through Intervention Chapter 11
Conditions that make intervention necessary • Children cannot resolve a situation themselves and it is deteriorating • One of more children cause serious disruption to the education process • Danger of harm exists
Crisis Management Strategies • Being direct • Commanding a choice( including redirection) • Calming all involved (including separation) • Using physical restraint
Being direct • Describe without labeling Express displeasure without insult Correct by direction Using the ideas together
Commanding a Choice • “Bottom line it” • Teacher allows the child to choose a personal choice of action teaching them that they have power in the situation . The child may not like the options but will at least be able to make the choice reserving some dignity and power in the result
Calming and Teaching • Important to give words to the children to help express and define what they are feeling. Strong emotions often scare children. • Cooling down, allowing the reasoning part of the brain to engage is essential! • Often we need to separate the children from the group
Calming and Teaching • We need to ask our selves are we removing a child from the group to help them calm down or to exert power over them or to “punish” them??????? Or do I need to calm down as well?? • Will the child be safe? Do I need to remain really close or within ear shot? Does the child need to be quiet/ screaming/?????
Important factor is to regain control over their emotions • We must not forget the entire re entry process and plan for how the child will rejoin the group!!!
