Teachers can redirect verbally, physically, with a cue, or by redirecting the child's attention.
Verbal: The teacher gives a simple instruction that distracts the child from the challenging behavior and guides the child to a more appropriate behavior.
Physical: The teacher gives a simple instruction and uses a gentle touch to prevent the child's challenging behavior.
With a cue: The teacher pairs a visual cue like a picture or a gesture, with the instruction to prevent the child's challenging behavior and guide the child to an alternative.
With attention: The fourth type of redirecting involves another child who is nearby and who is playing or talking appropriately.
In this module, we looked at four ways to use redirection: Verbally, physically, with a cue, or with proximal attention.

The four functions of behavior are attention, escape, access, and sensory needs.
Attention-seeking behavior occurs when someone desires feedback or a response from another person.
Escape behaviors typically occur when a learner wants to avoid or “escape” doing something.
Access to tangibles is somewhat self-explanatory, but it is also very important, children may engage in certain behaviors because they are looking to gain access to something.
Sensory stimulation occurs when children want to experience a pleasant sensation or replace discomfort.
These four functions allow us to understand and categorize someone’s actions, as well as determine why behaviors occur.
All actions can be attributed to one of these four functions of behavior.

Four types of redirecting are most commonly used in the preschool classroom: Verbal redirecting: A teacher gives an instruction which distracts the child from the challenging behavior and directs him to a more appropriate activity. Physical redirecting: A teacher physically prevents a child from engaging in a challenging behavior and redirects her to an alternative or new activity. Redirecting with a cue that is visual or gestural. Redirecting attention to a positive model in a child’s proximity: For example, a teacher draws attention to a nearby child who is engaged in an appropriate behavior.
