Introduction
Welcome to Lesson 2 of Module 1! This lesson focuses on the role of teacher as a counselor.
Children of this generation are growing up in very complex and challenging environments,
they are constantly encountering challenges such as pressure from parents or significant others,
unsupportive parents, siblings, teachers, classmates, availability and use of technology,
bullying, fighting, truancy, sexual abuse, among others. When these pupils unable to adjust, it
may lead to maladjustment which creates a significant impact on their development. As
teachers, it is one of your fundamental responsibilities to provide them guidance when they are
in school because in early childhood education, teachers does not only render the duties of a
classroom teacher, but also as a companion in the process of personal growth of the children.
My Counseling Experience
Think of the time when you were in school and asked to visit the
Guidance Center. Write down your experiences.
What is a counselor?
Counselor is a person who provides counsel to another person who needs help.
1. Emphatic – means that you try to understand your pupil’s world temporarily by stepping
into his or her shoes. In this manner, you recognizes and acknowledges his or her
feelings without experiencing those same emotions. Your understanding of your pupil’s
world is manifested either in your verbal or non-verbal behavior.
2. Active listener – you captures and understands the messages of your pupils as they tell
their stories, whether these messages are transmitted verbally or nonverbally. Listening
attentively to what they say is a manifestation of interest and respect. You must be able
to listen without preoccupation to your own attitudes, feelings, or needs.
3. Kind and caring – you are tender-hearted or sympathetic. You does not display any
kind of authority.
4. Friendly – you often greets the children, call their names and children feel at ease with
you.
5. Positive regard and respect – means that you are non-judgmental towards your pupils.
You accept them regardless of their individuality and background.
6. Trustworthy and reliable – means the pupils feels safe on whatever information they
are going to share with you. You observe confidentiality which is very important Also
you shows sincerity in what you says, moreover, you refers the counselee to the right
person if you know you are not capable.
7. Patient – you have the ability to endure the length of time you spends with the pupils
without complaints.
8. Warm – considering the fact that the client suffers from intense adjustment or emotional
problems, the counselor has to make him feel acceptable. A smile on her face radiates
warmth

Introduction
Welcome to Lesson 1 of Module 2! This lesson introduces you to the approaches to counseling
specifically the psychodynamic approach. Children behave appropriately according to their
developmental stage. The way they behave is also influenced by their environment. This
lesson helps you understand the approaches to counseling. As a teacher, learning about the
approaches to counseling help you to understand your learners. In this way, you can deal with

Nina is 2 years old. She is happy and lively child. She is so active and
loves to run around the house. Her mother reprimands her to stop from
running. One day, as she keeps on running inside the house, she breaks the
favorite porcelain cup of her mother. Her mother is so angry and spank
Nina. Nina cries so loud.
After reading the case, write down your thoughts on the given question:
Overview
The Psychodynamic and humanistic approach to counseling differs in their view of human
nature and the techniques employed in counseling. However, both approaches aim to help
children to understand themselves.
Psychodynamic Approach
The first three stages of Erikson’s Psychosocial Development discusses about the role of
parents or caregivers in providing the needs of the child. The child develops trust if
parents/caregivers are consistent with the love and affection accorded to the child. As the child
grows, he/she must be given certain amount of autonomy to explore his/her environment. At
this point, the child learns to trust not only other people but also himself/herself especially
his/her ability in performing certain tasks. Moreover, the child develops sense of initiative as
he/she relates with other children through play. The child learns more about the culture as
he/she interacts with the environment.

How do children cope in their day to day activities? In this lesson, you will learn more about
how the cognitive behavioral approach to counseling. In this lesson, you will be learning how
to use this approach in handling concerns of children. This topic will shed light on the
significance of cognitive behavioral approach to counseling. Have an open heart and mind in

Overview
Cognitive-Behavioral Approach
to undesired events with the aim of increasing reward and reducing punishment (Bond &
Dryden, 2002).
Relabelling is a way for children to learn to acquire appropriate behaviors. It involves altering
the pessimistic attributions and cognitive biases of parents and children (Bond & Dryden,
2002). As a teacher, you offer positive or optimistic labels for inappropriate behaviors as a
substitute for negative or pessimistic labels. For instance, when a parent says, “Anne is such a
lazy girl and stupid, doing nothing, I ask her to do her assignments.” You can relabel the
remarks of the parent by saying, “When she spends time thinking through what to do next, you
encouraged her to do her assignments.” Relabelling allows children and parents to offer
positive views of looking at situations that can lead to collaboration and problem solving (Bond
& Dryden, 2002).
Reward system is another way to help children learn new habits like coping to situations that
upset them. In using the reward systems, it is important that the target behavior is clearly
defined, monitored regularly, and rewarded promptly with the use of symbolic system of
points, tokens, stars, or smiling faces that is age appropriate and acceptable to the child. Bond
& Dryden (2002) suggests guidelines for reward systems to children as outlined in Table 1.

You are doing a good job! You can now proceed to Lesson 3. Lesson 3 gives you in-
depth understanding about the family systems approach in counseling. Have fun with
lesson 3!
Learning Outcomes:
Introduction
Welcome to Lesson 3 of this module! This lesson introduces you to family systems approach
to counseling. This lesson helps you to understand the importance of probing into the family
dynamics of your pupils in order to gain insight from their behaviors. The family systems
approach is a comprehensive way of understanding early childhood learners. Hope you enjoy
the lesson!
My Family
Recall about the memories you have with your family. In your creative
expression, you can draw, write a poem, write a song, and others creative
means that depicts about the memory you have with your family.
What are the feelings that you experience as you perform the creative work about
your family? Reflect on those feelings.
Overview
You have heard it so many times that the family is the basic building block of the society. The
family systems approach to counseling will provide in-depth understanding on that statement.
It looks into the dynamics of the family that affect the development as well as how the child
behaves in the society.
Family systems is an approach to counseling that considers not only the individual child but
the family where the child belongs. It postulates that the identified member who is considered
to have a problem is manifesting the trouble behavior in the family especially the problematic
transactions among family members (Corsini & Wedding, 2007). It views the entire family as
a unit or systems wherein the goal of counseling is to understand and bring about change within
the family structure (Sharf, 2012).
Family is a system consists of subsystems such as the spousal, parental, and sibling subsystem
(Corsini & Wedding, 2007). The spousal subsystem is important because if there is conflict
between the husband and wife, it affects the other subsystems resulting to alliances and
disagreements with other members in the family. A healthy spousal subsystem provides
security, nurturance, and well interactions between parents and children as well among the
sibling subsystem.
The invisible line that separates the subsystems is known as boundaries. It protects the system
by identifying who are insiders and outsiders. Boundaries in the family vary from being rigid
to being diffuse (Corsini & Wedding, 2007). Disengaged families are characterized by overly
rigid wherein the members of the family feel isolated from one another. A diffuse boundary is
characterized by enmeshed families, in which members are overly involved in each other’s
lives. A clear boundary among the members of the family and outside them is important in
order that information will flow through them and from the environment (Corsini & Wedding,
2007). The more the flexible the boundaries, the better the flow of information; the family is
open to new experiences and able to change troubled interactions (Gross, 2007). This
characterized by an open system, which differs from a closed system, wherein the family is
suspicious of the outside world, thus not open to change (Rhoades, 2010).
Family Rules
A family is governed by rules which serve as guiding principles for members to grow and
become productive members of the society. Rules in the family provide order and control to
the members that have a ripple effect in the community. As a teacher, looking into the rules in
the families of your pupils will help you understand their behavior. Corsini & Wedding (2007)
cited that problems in the family are due to lack of rules for accommodating to changing
conditions. Family rules provide stability for members to regulate their behaviors.

Me as Counselor
Overview
Being a counselor requires knowledge and skills in assisting your pupil in his/her problem.
The goal of counseling is to bring about change in the individual. As a counselor, you are
an agent of change. To be an agent of change entails skills in counseling that enable you
to help your pupil to make that decision to change.
The American Counseling Association (ACA) defines counseling as the process of building
relationships with individuals that empower them to accomplish mental health wellness,
education, and career goals. It is a collaborative relationship between counselor and the
client. Moreover, they provided outline on some of the skills in counseling as discussed.
1. Attending. It entails the ways in which you are “with” your client both physically
and psychologically. You can be guided with the acronym SOLER:
S: Squarely face your client
O: Open posture
L: Lean toward the client
E: Eye contact with the client
R: Try to be Relaxed or natural with the client
2. Listening. Listening is one of the most important skills in counseling. Active
listening occurs when you are listening with all of your senses. This promotes trust
and openness on the part of the client.
3. Asking questions. Questions are significant in counseling because it allows you to
learn more about your client. There are two forms of questions namely: close and
open. A closed question is usually answered by ‘yes’ or ‘no’. The open question
is encourage in counseling because it allows the counselor to explore into the
client’s problem. The best open questions begin with ‘how’ and ‘what’.
4. Reflection. Reflections are used to accurately describe the client’s state. From their
verbal or nonverbal cues. Reflections include feelings reflections,
restating/rephrasing, and affirmation. Feelings reflections allow clients to hear the
feelings they have just expressed. Restating/rephrasing build a stronger
relationship. Rephrasing your client’s answer allow you to better understand what
a client has just said and allows clarifications for his/her answers. Affirmation is a
form of encouragement that affirm behaviors of your client and his/her life choices.
5. Empathy. It is more than sympathy as it allows you to understand your clients’
feeling surrounding an experience.
As a teacher-counselor, those skills can equip you in helping your pupils with their
problems. Please bear in mind that as a counselor, you do not give advice but assist your
pupils in helping them to come up with right choices in their lives.
