Listen to them and understand the purpose.
Children need choice. When you're ready to give a consequence, allow for some choice. The choice could have to do with the actual consequence, the time when the consequence will occur or input as to what follow up should and will occur. When you allow for choice, the outcomes are usually favorable - the child becomes more responsible.
In a power sruggle nobody wins. Even if you do feel like you've won, you haven't because the chance of reoccurrence is great. Avoiding power struggles really comes down to exerting patience. When you show patience, you're modeling good behavior, you ALWAYS want to model good behavior even when you are dealing with inappropriate student behaviors. Do you do this? A child's behavior is most often influence by your behavior, remember this. If you are hostel or mad when dealing - they too will be.
For students or children who regularly misbehave, it can be very difficult to find something positive to say. Work at this, the more they receive attention for the positive things, the less apt they are to look for attention in a negative way. Go out of your way to find something positive to say to your chronic misbehaving students. Remember, these children often lack belief in their own ability. You need to help them see that they are capable.
When students or children don't feel that they belong, the result is usually the display of unacceptable behavior. Make sure the student has a strong sense of belonging. Praise the child's efforts to get along or work with others. Praise attempts to follow rules and adhere to routines.
Students want teachers that:
You must hear their opinion and then interact with them
I agree entirely with the previous answers which I think say just about everything on this subject. The only thing I would add is that I deal with youngsters with Learning disabilties and/or challenging behaviours, often their behaviours are governed by their "condition" or Syndrome, ADHD especially. In these cases they are actively "Attention Seeking" and I find that removing them, temporarily, from their "audience" is an effective ploy.
by talking to them and understand what they want
All children's are not having challenging behaviour, so first go closure to them and try to know the reason behind that behaviour, try to create fun learning environment generally children like to play games, so arrange few games which they like, you to play with them and arrange to have some Quiz competition etc. then only you can understand them better and sort out the problems in a better way. To make it possible the management support is more important... if the problem is more serious then discuses with their parents and take a necessary action, other wise it effect on other children's also in many cases childrens get punished but i is not a help ful way to solve this problems.
Depends on which areas you focus on when you talk of çhallenging'.Some may challenge discipline wise.With these l will ensure l give them little attention because any amount of attention fuels the fire.lf its competence based then l up my material for those challenging and l know that caters for them well.
