Making Life Easier: Running Errands

Running errands (e.g., going to the store, bank, etc.) is one of those essential household routines that all families experience. It is often thought of as a “maintenance” activity that is necessary for the family, but not enjoyable for young children. However, there can be huge benefits in taking your young child along. He learns about his community while spending time with someone he loves and trusts, someone who can help him understand the world beyond home and family. Running errands together offers the chance to build self-confidence, curiosity, social skills, self control, communication skills, and sensory exploration. He’ll have opportunities to greet and interact with other children and adults with your guidance and support. He will also be able experience the myriad of smells, tastes, sounds, and textures of the greater world within which he lives. However, running errands can be extremely difficult if the child has challenging behavior. It’s not uncommon for families to feel overwhelmed by their child’s challenging behavior and resort to only running errands when someone else can care for the child at home. Sometimes, depending on the errand (e.g., a long shopping trip, parent visit to the doctor), that might be the best strategy. Still, there are steps you can take to help you and your child get the most out of these outings.

When to Seek Outside Help for Children's Problem Behavior

The “How Do I Decide?” Series of Guidelines was developed to help you make informed decisions that will positively impact young children’s challenging behavior and social-emotional development. Today, the majority of early education programs enrolls and support young children with and without disabilities. The inclusion of all children within early education and care programs is responsive to federal laws, the values of society, and the best practices of the field. In order to ensure that all children benefit from inclusive programs, there must be collaborative teaming among families, practitioners, and specialists who can ensure that children with special needs are receiving the supports that are essential to promoting their development and learning. In this decision-making guideline, we assume that all children who might be eligible for services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) are referred for those services and access that entitlement. Our purpose here is to provide guidance for when to seek outside help for problem behaviors that are outside of the expertise of program staff.

A Family Guide to Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports (SWPBS)

The link between families and Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports (SWPBS) is an important one. When families are meaningfully involved in educational activities their children do better in schools. Families play an important part in their child’s education and social development. The presence of parents in schools not only provides additional academic supports but also creates community and cultural connections. In many schools, family participation in the schoolwide positive behavior support process is growing. Family members are part of state, district, and school planning teams and participate in schoolwide activities in a variety of ways. Family involvement helps to provide consistency between home and school, the key to success for all students. Family members participate in the assessment and problem solving process to create individualized positive behavior support plans when necessary for their children. This booklet is designed to help families understand the important role they play in Schoolwide Positive Behavior Supports.
