If we try our best to ensure that the child has a happy time at our setting, it helps their confidence and self-esteem. They will want to take part and socialise. They enjoy what they are doing when they come to us and want to take part in what we offer for them. As they grow up they will want to go to school and have a good education and then go on to get a good job and have a good quality of life.

In order to support social and emotional development and provide positive guidance I make sure the child knows that they are important to me. I do this by acknowledging them from the first day I meet them. I warmly greet my students every day. I ask them how they are feeling and we discuss our feelings during our morning routine. I encourage participation by reminding the children that all feelings are okay and that how we re-act to those feelings is most important. I model empathy, compassion listening skills and encouraging behavior on a daily basis. Children learn by example. When I display a positive outlook and appropriate

*Enabling environment- children learn best in positive surroundings when the activities are set out for their personal requirements and there is a good relationship between practitioner and parents of the children.

This encourages the child to continue the positive behaviour and they will be rewarded with positive attention and something for example as a toy or treat.

What is meant by a positive environment is a happy place. A happy environment is a setting that has structure and routine so that children can rely on a secure environment. Always looking at the positive in everything that children do can help them to be more confident. A positive environment can also help to stimulate children and in affect make the children want to learn more.

This will also give students the attention they may not receive at home. Most children lack a positive home environment. A positive environment gives them affirmation. Children need attention and affection to feel wanted or confident. Educators should become agents of change and help the community they serve.

Providing a comfortable, safe and well supervised environment is important to meet the requirements of each individual child’s sleep and rest. Educators should ensure children are safe, healthy and secure in their sleeping or rest environment. Environmental factors can impact on the rest and sleep for children within an early childhood setting, these can include the noise level of the room, the darkness of the room, the temperature and the comfort of bedding or rest area. Educators should try to minimise noise level and provide a calm and relaxing feeling to the environment to help children get the sleep or rest needed, this can be done by playing soft music during sleep or rest times. Reducing stimulation will help children to sleep or rest,

The potential affirmative topic that needs action in daycare centers that are going through change is creating an atmosphere for positive learning and support. When centers encounter a change, the attitudes of the people following may change because they are not as confident about the change as the leader may be. As result, the leader must find a way to prove change will benefit the team, parents, and students. When change occurs, negativity has an opportunity to enter the business through the doubt of teachers, staff members, and parents. As result, the learning environment and support can suffer. Children learn in a positive atmosphere, and they can sense when there is conflict. This creates stress and can prevent children from getting the care they need from the teachers and parents. It also creates a stressful environment, which could lead to arguments, depressions, and frustrations. It could lead to having too

Positive reinforcement, an aspect of Operant Conditioning, can be used by educators in order to increase desired behaviors, and reduce undesired behaviors, in preschool aged students. While the main focus of this article is positive reinforcement, it is noted that negative reinforcement has been the commonly used technique/solution to the problem of classroom management. Once an educator recognizes what truly motivates a subject they can use positive, or negative, reinforcement to increase/decrease the likelihood of certain behaviors. Through the understanding (and ultimate application) of behavioral psychology, an educator can better understand their students and teach young students acceptable classroom behavior. Furthermore, by transitioning from negative reinforcement, to positive reinforcement as a behavior management technique, members of

I believe that my environment, living in South Florida, has definitely influenced who I am as a person in a positive manner. Going to public school in the area that I live has allowed me to see various races and religions coexist – in my tight-knit friend group alone there is such diversity in not only race and religion, but also sexuality. I believe that being exposed to so many wonderful types of people has made me more open-minded and less likely to judge. When I was in my sophomore year of high school, some of my friends decided to start up a gay-straight alliance (now called the gender and sexuality alliance in order to encompass more types of sexualities), and invited me to be a part of it. It was there that I became more educated about

Rainforest peoples have adapted to living in their environment, making use of their resources while respecting the nature around them. The countries with the largest areas of Rainforest are Brazil, Congo, Peru, Indonesia and Colombia. Nature is vital for these people and without it, those people would have no way of surviving the harsh conditions of the rainforest. In comparison, we have changed our environment, making it less dangerous and giving us a much easier way of life. In the UK, there are supermarkets, farmers and brick houses, which contribute into our way of life. We are much more cautious around animals and nature, whereas Rainforest peoples live in their houses amongst it.
