What Is a Well Intervention?

Children's behavioral intervention refers to the process based on the principles of child developmental psychology, using psychological techniques and methods to influence children's behaviors, and shaping them.

Child behavior intervention

In the narrow sense, children's behavioral intervention guides correct children's behavioral disorders. In a broad sense, child's behavioral interventions include the active promotion of children's behavioral development and the correction of children's behavioral disorders. It is customary to understand child behavior intervention as the former.

Children's behavioral interventions mainly involve the rehabilitation of children's behavioral disorders and the promotion of children's behavioral development. Child Behavior Disorders

Including learning disabilities (such as reading, writing), attention disorders (such as ADHD), language disorders, abnormal behaviors (such as aggressive behavior, anti-rule behavior), autism, etc .; child behavior development promotion mainly involves the development of children's environmental adaptive behavior Promotion, such as interpersonal communication, learning ability, environmental adaptability, etc.

The basic psychological principles of children's behavioral intervention: 1. The basis of behavioral occurrence is the brain functional area and the neuron connection between them. The acquired behavior is generated by environmental signal stimulation. 2. The behavior is that the neuron connection circuit is received. The result of automatic information processing during signal stimulation; 3. Neural circuits for automatic information processing are formed by repeated and repeated stimulation; 4. Well-coordinated behavior is determined by extensive neural circuit connections between various functional areas of the brain The simultaneous stimulation of composite signals will determine the breadth of this neural circuit connection. 5. The work of the neuron information processing processing circuit receives emotional control and influence, and the satisfaction of psychological needs will determine the emotional state.

Based on the above basic principles, behaviorist applied behavior training methods to children's behavior disorder training, such as sensory integration training, applied behavior training (ABA). Based on the above principles, a comprehensive view holds that pure behavioral training methods have their limitations, ignoring the two most important and critical aspects of children as a social individual: psychological needs and active environmental adaptation. Pay more attention to children's psychological needs, make children's psychological needs reasonably satisfied and experience good positive emotions, so as to stimulate children's natural potential to adapt to the environment. Therefore, the comprehensive perspective is more inclined to use child-friendly parent-child interactive games and correct family education methods to intervene in children's behaviors, such as systemic sensory integration training and family factor intervention (C-FAP).

Behaviour interventions for children began with Wetmer, an American psychologist who opened his own psychological clinic in Pennsylvania in 1896

The institute conducts training for backward students. Later, in 1907, American psychologist David began to use psychological methods to provide professional behavior guidance to students. Since the two pioneers, the psychological theories and methods of children's behavior intervention have received extensive attention in the psychological field. Many scholars have done a lot of research on the development of children's behavior. With deeper understanding, the methods of intervention have also been greatly developed. The cognition of children's behavior formation mechanism initially favored behaviorism's conditioned reflex theory. Later, they gradually realized that the formation and development of children's behavior have more complicated mechanisms and rules, such as with children's innate neurotic characteristics and acquired Environmental impacts (such as culture, family education, interpersonal interactions, etc.), and the need to meet the needs of children in the survival process have a crucial relationship. Therefore, children's behavioral intervention has expanded from the initial focus on children's problematic behaviors to the psychological development of children. It pays more attention to meeting the psychological needs of innate factors, brain development, family education, and child development, and attaches more importance to adapting to children's psychology. The law of development makes children's behaviors better adaptively developed through correct family education, reasonable provision of children's psychological needs, and full use and development of innate advantages.

After a century of development, children's behavioral intervention has been widely accepted and recognized by academics, governments, and the general public in western developed countries. For example, in the United States, children with behavioral disorders such as autism, mental retardation, and retarded intellectual development are social benefits provided by the government. Professionals provide services to families. The government pays for the government. The government also provides family and social education programs for child behavior development. Provide financial support. At present, in many countries in the world, social projects supported by the government, providing policies and funds and providing publicity, education, and child behavior intervention services to families by professionals and institutions have been formed, and a relatively complete and scientific operating system has been formed. In China, child behavior intervention sprouts in the 1980s and has developed rapidly in recent years. However, it is mainly the professional service behaviors of professional institutions and professionals, and families pay for themselves; professional services mainly provide family education and medical care. The unit's behavior training forms exist. This year, due to the rapid advancement of the training of psychological counselors, some psychological counselors have begun to enter the service field of child behavior intervention. Whether it is education, medical treatment, or psychological counseling, the scientific and professional level of services is still seriously inadequate. The amount of services that can be provided is even more inadequate than the social needs for the rehabilitation of children's behavior disorders, regardless of the prevention and adaptive development of children's behavior disorders. Social needs.

The social services of child behavior intervention are still in their infancy in China, and the services they can provide are far from satisfying.

The needs of society are only children with autism who have the most urgent needs among children with behavioral disorders. At present, most of them do not receive professional intervention and help, let alone other children with behavioral disorders and general child behavior problems and development promotion. Based on the current survey of 0.6% of children with autism in China, there are about 1.2 million children with autism in China; the incidence of children's behavior problems in China is 31%, which means that about 60 million children need behavioral intervention, more Not to mention that up to 92% of home education methods are at risk for child behavior problems. Therefore, the social reality urgently requires the development of a large number of social services for children's behavioral intervention in China.

Due to the development of scientific cognition and the rapid development of professional training, the field of child behavior intervention in our country is making rapid progress; due to economic development and the popularization of scientific knowledge, the public's awareness of child behavior problems and development promotion is constantly increasing. progress. Therefore, both in terms of social needs and the provision of professional services, the development momentum is rapid and the space is huge.
