When looking at children and young people’s development it is important to recognise and respond to concerns to ensure that the child or young person receives the help and assistance needed.

Transition: Now that we have discussed the ways this disease affects our youth, lets dig deeper into the ways we as a whole can help these children in their times of need.

I need to gain children’s trust and respect to be able to provide best developmental opportunities for them that is why children are assigned a key worker to ensure warm and mutual relationships can be built and developing good relationships with both the child and their parents. It is very essential to use appropriate language (I must always address the children and the adults politely and using the correct terms, we often speak to children in their home languages too if it is other than English).

The experiences of a child or young person when dealing with transitions will affect, positively or negatively, his development, and can have an important role in learning the skills to cope with other

As a practitioner it’s your duty to observe and maintain correct procedures to ensure that the children are offered a stimulating environment which will further allow optimum possibilities for development. All those who work with or amongst children and young people have a crucial role to play in helping not only to shape aspects of their lives, but to also aid in enhancing their future development. Therefore it can be stated that how we set up our own working practices can affect children and young people’s development, as will be identified by this essay; below are areas where one should concentrate in order to further

Intellectual transitions include changes such as starting primary school, moving classes, key stages or up to secondary school. Also leaving school and moving on to further education or employment. These can all be very stressful changes for some pupils, others however, may be more than ready for the next big step in their educational lives. Obviously, these transitions are all planned, and known about in advance so parents and teachers are able to discuss any issue, and provide support to nervous children. Our primary school has policies and procedures to make each stage less nerve - wracking for children. In our last half term of the school year each child will be told which class room they are going to be in, with

If any problems occur to the child, they can return to their secure base which is their key worker, who can offer them comfort. Although key workers are not there for children who have not formed an attachment with their parents, they are they to offer support and comfort. The strength of Bowlby’s approach is that it has introduced the key worker system, which has helped a great deal with supporting children’s needs and development. Key workers can track their progress and plan and implement activities which promote their development. While working at my last year’s placement in a nursery setting, I was informed that each child had a key worker assigned to them. I observed that when parents would leave their children, some would cry and get upset, the key worker would then take them aside and comfort them or try to distract them. Having the key workers there for them made the child more emotionally secure.

This assignment will discuss the transitions faced by children and their parents including horizontal and vertical transitions. It will also explain planned and unplanned changes in children’s life and how children and their parents may influence by those changes as well as suggesting the most appropriate ways to respond to those changes using the

Through out our lives we are confronted by changes. People, places and even our own bodies change. We are faced by ongoing periods of transition as things alter from how they were to how they are now. Transitions can positively or negatively impact on children and young people’s development depending on how they are supported and the change is managed.

During their lives children and young people all experience some sort of transitions. These could be either common transitions or less common transitions. Common transitions include; being left with an unfamiliar carer, changing schools, starting puberty. Less common transitions include; them, a family member or friend becomes seriously ill, or dies, them or a close friend moves away, their parents split up and get divorce meaning they have to live with only one parent or between the two.

The child is 14 years old, he is a male and is in 8th grade about to go to 9th grade.

Family and Social Relationships:How stable and affectionate is the young person’s relationship with parents, staff, peers, as manager I would analyse if the interaction is of age appropriate with peers and other significant persons in the child’s lifeTheir understanding of the way in which appearance, behaviour and any impairment are perceived by the outside world will be addressed. Their appropriateness regarding dress for their age and gender. Their personal hygiene and cleanliness routine will also addressed. And finally, an overview of their placement with us, their behaviour, and concerns any future recommendations. Educational needs will be assessed and how they respond to this, and their capabilities.Fairbridge is a government run initiative where it promotes young people to make life changes regarding their own lives. It offers life skills, along with activities to enhance their communications and listening skills. Fairbridge will also do exercises, which incorporate trust along with integration with other young people with the same background.The child’s growing sense of self as a separate and valued individual person. Their own views of self-image and self-esteem. If their self-worth is how a lot of work will be undertaken by the team to ensure it is boosted. Race, religion, age, gender, sexuality and disability may contribute to this feeling of

Firstly to understand that parents are the child’s primary carer and educator, which means they know their child best. It is important to understand that having good working relations with parents and carers, you can share effective information. This means work closely with them and get a better understanding of the child’s development, family background, culture and so on. The keyperson role supports this transition from parent to practitioner, enabling smooth working relations. The child feels safe and secure and the parent trusts the relationship.

The agency where I am interning is Partnership with Children. “Partnership” as it is called, works to strengthen the emotional, social and academic skills of at-risk children to prepare them for success--academically, socially, and in life. “Partnership’s” programs aim to bridge the gap between those who have a vested interest in working within New York City’s highest-need public schools, and those in need. “Partnership’s” goal is to transform the overall culture of many of the city’s struggling schools by helping students cope with the extreme stress of living in poverty. Helping students thrive in safe and supportive schools that encourage

According to Mary Louise Hemmeter, Michaelene M. Ostrosky, Kathleen M. Artman, and Kiersten A. Kinder, there are a few children who have trouble transitioning. The challenge behavior occurs mostly when there are too many transitions. Another reason a child may be having difficulties transitioning is that he or she has a disability. For example, not being able to process the directions fast enough. Some children have trouble going to different activities because they do not want to stop doing what they are doing. Research states that having roles, identification, and strategic placements for adults can minimize behaviors during transitioning. Having roles for the children can get them doing something, and having their own little job to do in the classroom. For example, setting the table, washing the table off, watering the animals, etc. The identification requires having a picture of how to transition and what is expected in a certain center. The placement for the adults is giving the children five to ten minutes to get ready to move from station to station and having an adult there to know where they go. Another way to minimize behavior is music while the children are transitioning. The children can sing along if they know the songs. One more way to help with
