Interpretation as Interference Children and teens sometimes interpret a situation or a statement in an unrealistic way. The child then reacts to the situation as she sees it. If the adult sees that giving the child a different view of things will change her reactions, the adult should try to correct the child's misunderstandings. Regrouping For many reasons there are times when two personalities clash and come into conflict with each other, or when two or three particular children are extremely noisy or disturbing in their behavior. Often the problem can be solved by separating the involved persons, forming new groups, by physical separation, or by reshuffling a seating arrangement.
Children have varied attention spans and abilities to sit for long periods of time.
Often a planned activity will be just fine for awhile but soon the children lose interest and the trouble begins. That is the time for the adult to suggest new activities which will take care of the children's new needs and prevent potential frustration and hostility. When one child's behavior continually interferes with the group or the teacher, it is wise to remove the trouble maker from the group by having her go to a safe place. It should be made clear that the child is being asked to leave because her behavior does not fit in with the rest of the group. The first step is to observe the child and find out what acts as a reinforcer and use it as a logical consequence to desired behavior.
