Explain key research findings which show the importance of parental involvement in their children’s learning in their early years?

All children and young people have to maintain a positive self-image and be confident about who they are and what they want so that they are not so easy to be influenced by negative peer pressure. As well as encouraging their awareness of health and safety issues, practitioners should support their development by helping them to have a positive self-image. Children need to have plenty of opportunities and encouragement as they grow up in order to develop their independence and learn about their likes and dislikes. They should also be aware that they have a right to be safe and know what to do if they do not feel safe.

It is important that children and young people are allowed to exercise their rights and choices, whilst health and safety requirements are maintained. This can lead to a dilemma when children and young people wish to undertake a task that you may feel is not within their capabilities, or that is not safe for them to do so

You should also be aware of our own physical safety by ensuring that you are trained the in correct methods of handling children who have physical difficulties. For example, lifting and handling courses. In the case of children or young people with behavioural problems who may be a danger to themselves or others, you should be trained in positive

 We carry out risk assessments to ensure our children are not made vulnerable within any part of our nursery or when taking part in activities.

Fortunately, plenty of support is available for all parents. Tracey, from the Daniel Morcombe Foundation advises “The Daniel Morcombe Child Safety Curriculum starts from Prep, as does the Keeping Kids Safe Resource Kit, however, we know this is also widely used in kindergartens. As it is difficult to teach children under 4 years old safety strategies (on the internet), it is advised that they are supervised at all times.”

Safety plays an important role in schools and colleges which ensure pupils and students’ safety has been part of ethical framework for decades. As much as the schools and colleges do to minimize the risks of all things happening to pupils and students, some things can’t be minimised for example with scenario 1, the students slipping in a playground. I am going to be looking at how to respond to this scenario and the right producers to follow.

It is important that children and young people develop strategies to protect themselves and make their own decisions when it comes to safety as adults cannot be around to protect them all the time. Help children and young people to assess and manage risk, be able to judge their own abilities and evaluate potentially dangerous situations. Children should be encouraged to tell an adult to prevent abuse or neglect, or that another child is bothering them. Or be able to make a disclosure without the fear of being ridiculed or having it dismissed. You must build a trusting relationship which will help the children in coming to you if they are concerned with their

My children participated in organized sports and we also walked on the beach or sidewalks every day. Although they went for a daily walk, that was not their favorite activity. They did, however, learned the benefits of exercise and eventually would go running on their own without being asked.

Be a role mode yourself, and plan activities for the children which is within their abilities. Provide them with age appropriate toys and equipment, so that they are also expanding their gross motor skills during playing time. To encourage children into physical activities make the activities fun and as educators get involved with them. Some of the activities that can be fun and encouraging for children to do are: tagging or chasing, dancing, catching or kicking a ball, swimming or other water play, riding a tricycle or scooter, and hula hoops (to jump in and out of) (about.com,

Raising active kids isn't easy with today’s generation of kids who are glued to their Xbox and iPhones. It can be especially challenging for parents who have little time themselves to be active. Maybe you hated sports and gym when you were a kid and just don’t know how to help your own kids be active.

Gratz (2006) asserts that one of the reasons why parents’ literacy strongly affects their children’s education is because of their involvement with their children and many less educated parents simply have more unmanaged stress in their lives, and this stress interferes with ability and opportunity to interact with their child. Typically, parents who have finished high school and gone on to receive additional schooling understand the pressures and stresses of school and are more equipped to handle them with their children when they go through school. Parents who have obtained further educational opportunities also have less stress in their lives because they most likely making more money while spending less time making that money than those

Before going any further, it is important to understand why it is important for children to take risks and partake in “dangerous” activities.

Exercising is vitally important to the health and wellbeing of your children. Incorporating exercises into your child’s life doesn’t always have to be something that you should beat them over the head to do so to speak. With children it is easier to do activities which are fun, entertaining, and that keep them wanting to continue to do daily. Incorporating activities such as dancing, playing kick ball, basket ball, baseball or even soccer are just some activities that children like to play. Incorporating these activities into your child’s daily exercise routine will add a superior structure and foundation for children to continue to do on a regular basis. Doing so will be fun and they will be more likely to do them because they are not boring and it doesn’t seem like it is a task.

There needs to be an adequate amount of physical activities each day, because they have so much energy. So one thing we have do at home which really works is to make the house very kid-friendly. Keep minimal furniture and leave plent of space for them to run around easily. The effort taken to ensure that they get enough physical exercise and activity in the day has an overall impact on everything, every aspect of the child’s life. The appetite improves, they eat good food, they sleep well, they listen to you because they have expended their

Public schools have discerned the relationship between parental involvement and the acquisition of literacy and the necessity of supporting parents in their roles. This is evident by the various literacy based programs which incorporate parents that have been initiated. Schools have implemented English as a Second Language Family Night (Teaching English, Building Community, 2012), Madre a Madre Parent Programs (Mitchell, 2016), Parent Partnership for Achieving Literacy Program (PALS) (Colombo, 2006), Global Book Hour (Truesdell & del Prado Hill, 2015), and Home Literacy Bags (Barbour, 1998; Downing & Grande, 2004; Huang, 2013). While there are a wide variety of programs that focus on fostering school-home connections in an effort to
