What is the difference between direct and indirect guidance?
Direct guidance involves verbal and nonverbal behavior used to guide children’s actions. Indirect guidance focuses on the selection of materials and the physical set up of the classroom.
List and explain five direct guidance principles:
EXAMPLES:
1.) Use simple language. (This is because young children have limited behaviors)
2.) Speak in a relaxed voice. (This is because the children will also raise their voices when you raise yours.
3.) Be positive. (This is because children will feel more comfortable being told what to do, rather than not what to do.)
4.) Offer choices with care. (This is because children should only have a choice when you want them to have one.)
5.) Be firm. (This is because if you are not firm, they will repeat the behavior)
Explain the difference between suggesting and prompting:
Suggesting means placing thoughts for consideration into child minds. This in turn, often leads to action. Prompting differs from suggesting because a response is required of a prompt.
