Assessment criteria: 2.2 Explain how modelling positive behaviours impacts on children’s behaviour

• Role modelling is the act of an adult behaving in a positive way to demonstrate appropriate behaviour to children
• Children will often mimic the behaviour that is displayed by the adults around them, so role modelling can teach children how to behave appropriately
• Similarly, if adults show negative behaviours, children can copy these, too – this is explored on this page
