Part A.
- Many children who end up being violent to other children always feel rejected and victimized psychologically. They start being aggressive from a younger age and, if not help, will continue a development pattern that is progressive towards severe violence. But, when children have a connection that is meaningful to their parents or other people, that potential violence will reduce significantly. The early signs are not enough for knowing if a child will be violent. It is potentially harmful and inappropriate to use those signs as a measure of a child. Hence, the early signs are issued only as an aid in noticing and referring to children who may need help. When those signs are identified, it should be reported to professionals who will make a diagnosis consultation with the parents of the child. Some of the early warnings include:
- Social withdrawal- is significant being identified early since it will prevent the child from avoiding other people at which can lead to social isolation, which can make the child even start avoiding making eye contact and staying alone.
- Feeling of being prosecuted- this sign is essential when identified earlier since, through canceling, the child’s fear will go away. It will be able to do anything freely without feeling prosecuted.
- Uncontrolled anger- this early sign is vital because it will help know what is affecting the child and try and avoid them, which may include family problems, stress, and financial issues.
- A) prohibiting silent Resignation- will be a contributor since some teachers will decide to keep quiet about it since they are not allowed to resign.
B). Teacher Discipline – will be a significant contributor to violence since the teacher will continue with the abuse if stiff measures are not followed, for example, reporting them to the authority will help them learn.
- C) 1. First, figure out what the issue is and whether you want to do something about it—knowing what you want to say and what if you speak up.
- Think about what you will like to say. It is crucial to plan what you want to say first by sharing with a friend.
- Think about the best time to speak up – deciding whether the conversation is best to have with one person or in front of people.
- Listen to response- listen to others’ thinking and give them time to speak without interrupting.
- Safety first- you observe the public place to see I it’s safe to speak up about something.
- Most importantly, stay positive!– After speaking well, note what you will do to improve it more next time you speak.
- D) It may be challenging to speak up in a real situation due to a person feeling embarrassment in front of people or having a hard conversation.
- A) I will be patient with the person making the jokes and then advise him or her that it is not good to do so since it is affecting the other person, and it a form of abuse.
- b) I will approach the parties and listen carefully and then try and calm them down without raising my voice on any party and try and separate them.
- c) I will go to where they are and then hold both of them and explain that there are rules and limits which you not supposed to fight each other and then tell the other child to say sorry and forgive each other.
- d) I will advise the person who posted it to remove it and if not will report it as inappropriate post
Part B.
- Reasonable suspicion”?
When you have information that the child is harmed by something the parent did and if the same information was given to another experienced mandated reporter.
- What I will do to determine by asking a question to know if the dirt was from playing. Since not every indicator automatically means that the child is being abused or neglected.

- Since it is reasonable suspicion that the child is a victim of abuse or neglect, call the Child Abuse Hotline to inform them.
- Since it has caused physical harm to the child, I will have to call the child abuse hotline and report so that they can use the five criteria to know if it’s an abuse.
- We can use primary prevention, which is preventing abuse before it occurs, which includes helping the families who are under stress. When family stress is reduced, then there will be no chances of abuse.
- Children will learn that lack of attention makes them uncomfortable, and from that, they will start to learn to be well mannered in the future in order to be with people. (ii) Kids will learn how to manage emotions, problem solves, and compromise. These will reduce behavior problems.
