A challenging behavior I witness was when I was student teaching at CW in Ventura. The boy name "Bobby" was very touchy and would hit his friends. The child would hit a friend an automatically say sorry. But I realized that this was a learned behavior and we as the educators had to act now!!!

A challenging behavior I witnessed when I was student teaching was a little boy throwing a toy at the teacher. The teacher was sitting on the floor with one of the infants and a toddler comes up to her and throws a toy at her hitting her in the eye. The good thing is that the teacher was wearing glasses and her eye didn't get hurt as bad. Luckily, he did not break her glasses. The teacher pretended to cry so the little boy went up to her and kept calling her name because he didn't know how to respond. The teacher kept pretending to cry until the little boy took off her hands from her face and say her name and gave her a hug. The teacher told him that throwing toys to others was not appropriate because it hurts and showed him what toys are for.

One of the children in the classroom that I was student teaching in had an issue with hitting. The teacher would anticipate the behavior and tell them, "use gentle touches". The child heard the phrase and would instead softly touch the other child. It seemed to me that this was a learned behavior from incidents that happened before I entered the classroom.

One behavior I witnessed from a toddler at the center I was at, was constant grabbing of toys out of other children's hands. The same boy had a tendency to take toys that were being played with a lot and sometimes the teachers would respond calmly and sometimes out of anger if it was a the second or third time that day.

During my student teaching I encountered many challenging. behaviors. One of them was when a child really enjoyed playing with a toy. He usually always had it or was playing with it. However, one day he left it in the middle of the classroom and was playing with another toy. Another child came over and started using the toy. Immediately he saw and ran to the child and took it away. I approached calmly and got down to eye level. I said "excuse me, your classmate had the toy, its not nice to take away the toy." I proceeded to grading the toy from the child that took and gave it back to the child that had it. The other child got really upset. Looking back at the situation, I think I handled it badly.

A challenging behavior I witnessed at my student teaching site was a little boy biting another classmate. The teachers did let me know he was a biter. One of the teachers saw when it happend and quickly went over and told the boy you don't bite your friends and moved him away from the child he bit.

A situation I witnessed which involved a challenging behavior while I was student teaching was when a student repeatedly would go and hit the other students of his class. He would hit them even when they were playing nicely and it would become more aggressive when he was angry. The teacher would speak to the child and whoever else was involved and try to initiate some problem solving and the hitting seemed to lessen, but I could tell the teacher was always watchful of this student.

A challenging behavior I witnessed where I was student teaching was when one of the children constantly kept taking items out of another child's hands. Every time the girl would pick up the toy, the boy would come and take it out of her hands and just collect the items. He would say, "No!" At first it seemed like a game and then the girl started to scream because she was frustrated. The cooperating teacher stepped in and said that she doesn't like it when he does that and that the toys are for everyone to play with. The cooperating teacher said, "Look, she can play with the toys and you can play with the toys too."

A challenging behavior I witnessed was a toddler in the class that would shake, pull, and attempt to climb over the infant corral. He was aware of what he doing because the teacher's had addressed his behavior several times.

When I first started student teaching, there was a child who did not like me in the classroom at all. She did not like the idea of having a new person there. She would cry the whole time I was there and would try to hide from me. The teacher would sit in front of her and say, "I see you are upset, but your body is safe and no one is going to hurt you." After the first week, she was comfortable with me being in the classroom. She was actually one of the children who would always try to be with me towards the end of my student teaching.

During my student teaching a challenging behavior that I saw was a child unwilling to participate in group activities with the class. Due to the fact that they didn't get the certain color that they wanted. The child would refuse to participate and show their anger by not signing and tossing it around not wanting to handle it.

A scenario where a challenging behavior I witnessed when at student teaching was when a group of children (2-3 children) were in a corner with another teacher while she was blowing bubbles. One child began to show frustration because another child popped the bubble he was headed towards to as well. The child reacted frustrated by yelling at the other child and pushing him by using his hands.
