Modeling

<font face="Comic Sans MS" font color="33CC00">Emotional.lifetips.com/cat/57243/bag-of-tricks-behavior-management-strategies/index.html">Children learn how to behave by watching others around them. If they are exposed to yelling, swearing, or fighting, they will use those same behaviors.

Model the type of behavior you expect from the child. If the child is too loud, whisper. If the child is overly active, slow down your own movement to an exaggerated pace. The child will most likely mimic the behavior seen.
