Teaching Pyramid

It is important for children to build social and emotional skills at a very young age. Children with emotional and social difficulties sometimes fall into a category of behavior issues. These types of disabilities are found quite commonly and are often not treated. I found an article that discusses these issues and how to implement practices in the classroom that might help the child. See page http://www.naeyc.org/files/yc/file/200611/BTJFoxLentini.pdf
In the article it discusses how to implement interventions with these children. The teaching pyramid found on this page shows that the base of the pyramid is the relationship with child, family, colleagues. This MUST be the starting block for all the interventions in the classroom. It is vehemently important that good relationships begin on day one or before day one of school.
