I Have Twin 2 1

The plan I devised was implemented straightaway. When the child next came into the setting I decided to set up a sticking activity after breakfast as I thought it would be better if the child had been fed so they would be more likely to concentrate. After breakfast the child was sat in the home

Firstly, I always talk to the parents to find out as much as I can about the child, their needs, interests, how much they can say or gestures they make for juice, hunger or toileting. Who they are closest to.

Two little girls with matching pink dresses, light up shoes, backpacks double their size skip off to the bus for their very first day of school. To a five year old, kindergarten was a big deal. The first time away from their parents, a new environment, and very intimidating older kids. I knew I was lucky, I got to take on this new experience with my built-in best friend and somehow, knowing that made all the difference.

We get feedback from them about what activities they like or do not like. We give the children a certain degree of choice for activities and snack. The parents also get newsletters about what we are doing each term and are encouraged to speak to their child about the topic, come along and speak to the child’s keyworker or member of staff, or bring items in relevant to the specific topic, opening hours, holidays etc.

Adapting your communication by using sign language or pictures, flashcards or slowing down your pace will also encourage a child and giving them

Many kids learn through board games such as operation, and Sorry, and Candy Land as these are good at counting, colors, and having good motor skills so you don't set off the buzzer.

Making the child feel more involved in preparing food and making them feel that their in control they will be more likely to eat the healthy food. It is important not to use food as a reward as this can have an impact on an emotional relationship with food. Food shouldn’t be used to comfort a child either, but allow them to help prepare where possible. Making the food look as attractive as possible can attract children to trying something new, and make dinner time fun. Most families try and eat together, this can be to make sure the child eats and try and respect the foods the child genuinely doesn’t like. Never force

Young baby food supplies a good source of energy and calories need development for their growth.

The vital thing is to be aware of their abilities and, as I have said above, be clear when communicating, keep in mind what the child is capable of. Speak at their level and with eye contact. Always encourage them to respond and answer questions, this will help with confidence. When they get something right, praise them and make them feel good, this will also give them confidence. Also if they get something wrong, or misbehave, explain what they have done wrong in a positive way and explain what they could do to make it right. Repeat things if necessary and ensure that the child has understood. Ask questions in a way that encourages children and young adults to answer in full sentences which shows that they have understood what is being asked.

Try and think of some activities where they could achieve any of the above - i.e. preparing and making their own snack - making sandwiches - getting everything ready, choosing the filling and making it. Doing something from start to finish will give them a sense of achievement.

empathise. They need support to deal with conflict and becoming frustrated by using humour or distract them by talking about something they enjoy. Over time children will learn to interact and

If messages are not clear to them or if they are conflicting and contradictive they are going to get confused and maybe frustrated and will then find it hard to behave. If children are met with the same response every time they do something wrong they will be less likely to repeat at a later day. All rules and boundaries should be suitable for their age and stage of development and all language used should be clear and make sense not to confuse the children. You must

Have you ever wondered what it would be like without your family? Two stories, Runaway Twin by Peg Kehret and Us and Them by David Sedaris share what it is like to live without aid of family realization or problem solving. It was Sunny Skylands, protagonist from Runaway Twin, desire to find her twin sister that she was separated from when they were younger. While on a walk from her current, out of many, foster home Sunny finds a bag of cash, but when no one claims it Sunny knew this was her chance to take the cross-country adventure that she had dreamed of since she was 10. She would travel, without any warning to her loving foster mother, from Nebraska to her old hometown, Enumclaw, Washington, that was written on a picture of Sunny and her sister, Starr, before they were separated.

Parents may be more laissez faire in their interventions than you are in the classroom. Remember this in reinforcing the behaviors because reinforcement may not occur in the home. Also, when discussing eating habits be thoughtful of the parents emotions- they are very connected to their son/ daughter.

Step Three: Set an eating schedule for the family. Doing so will make it less likely for children to overeat and be hungry, if there’s a set time for eating. This is especially important for younger children for their metabolism and activity level.
