( it's getting worse by days )
Prosocial behaviour is an act of caring about the welfare and rights of other people, feeling the sense of concern and empathy for them and acting in ways that would benefit others. Through research made by psychologists, prosocial behaviour are triggered by altruism, an unselfish interest in helping another person. The easier way to explain is that you don’t expect anything in return for your act of kindness towards other people.
People spend time volunteering in a homeless shelter is an example of altruism. The circumstances most likely to evoke altruism are empathy for an individual in need, or a close relation between the benefactor and the recipient. Many prosocial behaviour that appears altruistic are in fact motivated by the norm of reciprocity, which is the obligation to return a favour with a favour. But for children, most of their prosocial behaviour are not based on the sense of reciprocity.
Most sharing during the first three years of children lives are based on non-empathic reasons, such as for the fun of a social play ritual or maybe out of imitation of what they’d seen. But around four years of age, there is a combination of empathic awareness and adult encouragement that produces a sense of obligation to share things with others. What is important developmentally is that the child had developed a belief that sharing is an obligatory part of a social relationship and involves the question of right and wrong.
Parents can set examples that their children carries into their relationship with peers and the surroundings, but sadly, they are not always present during their children’s peer exchanges. So, the day-to-day constructions of fairness standards are done by children themselves in collaboration and negotiation with each other. Instead of peers, children are more likely to be influenced by their siblings. Not only are young children aware of what is going on between their siblings and their parents, they are often profoundly influenced by that dynamic.
Children are known to fight for their parents’ attention, whether it involves only emotions or maybe physical acts. They are extremely sensitive to differences in pride, warmth, in affection, in intention and in discipline that their parents dole out for them. Children are virtually born attuned to the emotional exchanges occurring around them. This may affect the child prosocial behaviour development as this development should take place since infancy, with the guides of parents and close families. Depending on whether they received equal or maybe different attention from their parents, children are actually affected psychologically. According to a British developmental psychologist, Judy Dunn (2010), what’s even more startling is that in families where children perceive marked differences in parental treatment, the children experience problems in adjustment – whether or not they are the disfavoured one.
Children don’t have words to express how they feel, so they tend to act out their emotions in very physical and inappropriate ways. For example, when a child can’t solve a puzzle given, he / she would throw the puzzle away instead of saying he / she doesn’t know how to solve it. In order to avoid this from happening to their children, parents need to teach their children how to identify their emotion and expressed them the right way. From this home-based learning, it actually helps children to faced peers and altered their relations with the outside world and to maintain a good one.
Based on my opinion, children’s prosocial behaviour should be developed since infancy as it is very important for their future. From all the training they received on how to actually behave correctly, it helps them to differentiate between what is right and wrong, what to do and what not to do. Apart from that, it also instilled the sense of empathy inside them, the citizens of tomorrow’s world. This could help create a better world for them to live in. Generosity, caregiving and cooperation also played their parts in prosocial behaviour, leading the children to act and care about other people’s welfare and oblige with others when they grow up. Prosocial behaviour development since infancy also helped kids to create good relations with the people around them and their environment.
Understanding emotions is a critical part of children’s overall development and it is up to adults to think how they should teach children to understand and deal with their emotions correctly. Researchers recently had found that when someone engage in altruistic behaviour and volunteering, they benefit from these activities. Helping others may reduce the output of stress hormones which improves cardiovascular health and strengthens the immune system. Among reasons for the positive outcomes of volunteering are its provision of constructive activities and productive roles social integration and enhanced meaningfulness. As teachers, we should give lots of support and positive encouragements when they use the new strategy to express their emotions.
