Children should be allowed to express their feeling and express their own views on something. Child should also be listened to and no put down. All children should be fully informed of everything that is happening to them or with them. You should support the child throughout this process and let them know that they can talk to you at any point or any time. Knowing you’ll listen and hear what they say makes a child feel happier. This also helps their self-esteem more.

While regulation and standard are the keys to the success of a childcare facility, there are factors that I believe are equally important to be successful in an early childcare program. So, I looked for a highly qualified teacher with good communication skills. Saint Mary Academy Inc. displayed these factors upon entry to the facility. I saw degrees of teacher and directors ranging from masters to bachelor degrees specialized for the profession display behind the desk of the director for the day.
I wasnt involved in child care before going into Elementary School. Before I went directly into kindergarten, I learned to read, write, and count at home with activities online and activities my parents made up. When I went to kindergarten they involved families in the special ocasion parties, field trips, and lunch. When I work in child care, I will involve families in special events and conferences about their child. This gives me a chance to get to know the families more and learn about the families differences. I have many strengths and weaknesses will all types of families. One of my weaknesses are communicating with new families. I get nervous around new people and then warm up to them later. A strength I face with new families is patience
Similarly Bronfenbrenner recognised the importance of primary carers to children, his ecological system proposes that children are affected by many social factors and those closest to the child have the greatest impact. In the ecological system the parents and family are represented by the micro system, they are closest to the child and have the most influence them and their learning potential. (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). Therefore it is essential that the early year’s educator has a positive relationship with the parent for consistent and effective learning at home and in the setting. As well as recognising that parents have influence on their children the ecological system shows the environmental factors that have impact on the child and family; Bronfenbrenner defines the next layer of the ecological system, the mesosystem, as “the relationship between factors within the microsystem” (Kay, 2008:269) this means that the relationship the parents and educators within the child’s setting has an influence on the child; affirming just how crucial it is for practitioners to be in partnership with parents.

I would engage parents/family members in the early intervention process by using the family-centered approach and the child’s natural environments. The family-centered approach “addresses and honor the family’s needs to be placed at the center of the work and family members’ goals and opinions” (Kirk, Gallagher, and Coleman; p. 73). Using the family-centered approach to engage parents/family members create a plan for the child’s development but also stimulates family members to give positive attachments to their child when given outside support (Kirk, Gallagher, and Coleman; p. 73). Another form of having the parents/family members to engage in the early intervention process is through having interventions in the child’s natural environments.
Attachment theory proposes that the way infants and children form bonds with their primary caregiver have lifelong implications as to how they may form bonds with others, including their own children. This bonding is created through affectionate gestures, the ability to rely on the caregiver’s availability and willingness to fulfill the needs of the child, and the general feeling of safety when in the proximity of the caregiver. While the attachments begin as an infant they are malleable throughout life, and easier to form or transform the younger a person is (Strengths-Based Generalist Practice A Collaborative Approach, Poulin, 2010, pp. 580-581).Victoria was in foster care from birth and had not received the ideal responses required of her caregiver. In the case of Victoria she was relocated from placement to placement often, and experienced a variety of abuses and neglect, these characteristics are indicative of someone with an avoidant attachment style. Attachments may become avoidant resulting in the child’s reluctance to put themselves in a position to be forsaken repeatedly by the unapproachability of the caregiver (Dimensions of Human Behavior Person and Environment, Hutchison, 2015, p. 150). Victoria exemplifies this repeatedly throughout the book in the fact that she refuses to rely on any caregiver, in the specific case of her placement with Elizabeth she refuses to believe that there would be any permanency. “I did not believe there to be even the
First category I will discuss is teacher-mediated. Teacher-mediated has many different strategies but for this individual I would use the strategy of accepting different levels and types of participation. This child if not prompt will sit
Healthy Child Care America is an organization of pediatricians across the United States that focus on the health, safety, and beginning stages of learning in a child care setting. Families, teachers, and professionals in the healthcare environment all come together to ensure that children are given the essentials needed for school readiness.
Communication and Positive Relationships Module 1 Activities Q1.1 Why is it important that you are able to communicate effectively with people in your job role? Good communication is very important when working with children, young people, their families and carers.
According to lesson 11, in the online context, attachment relationships are fostered by interactions characterized by the 3 R's: responsive, reciprocal, and respectful (Essel, 2013). When a caregiver is being responsive towards an infant, they pay attention and respond appropriately to the infant’s cues. When a caregiver is being reciprocal towards an infant, they are exchanges responses with the infant having a somewhat two-way conversation instead of a one-way conversation. Respect between caregivers and infants are hard to determine but that involves talking and checking on the infants before activities. Therefore, to make this scenario developmentally appropriate, caregivers should not leave infants in any setting for a long period of time.
There are various definitions of periods in a child 's development, since each period is a continuum with individual differences regarding start and ending.
