The Essential Components of GROW |
|
|
Positive relationships between the child and the staff are very important. GROW looks on each child’s small steps of progress in self-awareness and self-regulation as major achievements, and measures progress in very individual terms. |

|
The emotional, behavioural and social objectives include:
- ensuring that parents/carers and the child fully understand the GROW provision expectations of learning and behaviour;
- helping the child learn to make informed choices and take responsibility for their own behaviour;
- promoting tolerance and respect for others and property;
- recognising the values of honesty, fairness, trust and courtesy;
- recognition of achievement and success.
|
The framework for behaviour management defines behaviour and appropriate responses. The framework aims to teach, model, and allow for practice, whilst reinforcing pro-social behaviour. Establishing the basics- attendance, punctuality and respectful manners are very important.
|
There:
- are clear and consistent boundaries;
- is an emphasis on teaching responsibility;
- are routines, systems and procedures.
|
The GROW specialist staff team:
- teach routines and rules and explain consequences systematically;
- model presentations of routines and rules and then check understanding;
- allow time to practice and questions;
- praise when the rules and routines are followed;
- being thorough in following through the meaningful consequences;
- review the routines and the rules.
