WHY ? does a child constantly throw things across the room, dump stuff or drop food from a high chair?

It’s a tough one isn’t it and can be really frustrating as adults and parents.

We instinctively assume children are doing it on purpose or having us at it!

Repetitive actions or urges. It’s the way that they make sense of the world around them.

Those schematic learning styles!

Some children love to explore objects and their surroundings through movement!

Whether this is horizontally or vertically! Dropping food from a height, throwing objects across a room or running down a long thin corridor!

It’s all about the movement - either themselves or an object! It’s the movement that interests them. Exploring through their senses

It’s called a Trajectory Schema!

Many educators often ask us the question ‘ well how do we stop children dumping, dropping or throwing resources -at our setting?’ To be honest, we can’t! It’s their learning style and they are not doing it to annoy or frustrate us.

They are repeating behaviours because it interests and fascinates them. They are learning through early scientific exploration, speed, distance, trajection, how far will it travel, where will it land? How will it land? What noise will it make when it hits the floor? They are constantly LEARNING

As adults it’s important we learn to understand behaviours, instead trying to ‘manage’ them. To understand WHY children do what they do

To observe, acknowledge and facilitate. We need to understand brain development and the particular schematic styles of children.

This will enable us to support and facilitate play and learning.

Want to learn more? We have created staff meetings ( plug and play ) CPD team gatherings - ONE of these is all about URGES, those learning styles.
