My Experience Working With Children

As a teacher I work with children and I love my job. I have taught primary school children of varying ages. I like to think of myself as a dedicated and I think that dedication comes from my personality in the fact that any venture I take on I will put in my best and also the great responsibility it is to assist and develop a young person. I also don’t necessarily take a child’s behaviour at face value. If a child is acting out or not themselves there is normally something deeper going on and I will always try to find the time to talk to them to at least let them know they have someone that will listen to them if they need. I have also found that if a child has truly overstepped the mark dealing with them is always best when you are not reacting in the heat of the moment.

Social work is a career that I have always been interested in, especially working with children and families. Helping people overcome obstacles and making the most of themselves is a very rewarding and yet a challenging career. I’ll have the chance to meet a variety of different people with different problems from cases of abuse and neglect as well as supporting those in the care system. I am particularly interested in working with children and families who often form the most vulnerable service users, developing a professional and trusting relationship with them, hopefully enabling them to participate fully in society.

I believe that children are my first priority and I will do my best to nurture the inherent gifts that each one brings and shares with me. I believe what greatly makes a difference in a child’s life is a teacher who cares about each child and who teaches from the heart to touch or challenge every aspect of a child’s personality, cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and cultural during his or her journey with me. I also believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, gain knowledge, and be educated. I will encourage the child to learn and develop at his or her own level. With the guidance, scaffolding, and learning, they will gain knowledge and explore the world in a safe

Children will develop in different ways and at varying rates, however, most of them will pass through a similar sequence of development as certain steps need to be passed in order for the next step to be achieved.

The current policies that govern those minimum standards include Children Leaving Care Act 2000, Human Rights Act 1998, Office for National Statistics and Local Authority circulars (e.g. LAC (2004). There is emphasis on multi-agency working following a child centred

My personal beliefs about children and learning include; having the children feel safe and welcome, because safety is the number one rule in a child care center. Children should learn the basic things of life. Some of those include, reading and writing, science and math, art and games. Children need a good sense of education to teach them the basic things they need.

The use of effective communication is essential to being able to develop positive relationships with children, young people and adults. Communication comes in many forms verbal and non-verbal it is important when working with children and other adults we use the appropriate methods of communication relevant to the individuals needs taking into account their age, ability, ethnicity and religion. For example: when working with very young children it can be the first time they have been away from their families, it is important to form a positive relationship from the start where they can trust and feel safe and they may require more physical interaction such as a reassuring cuddle. Meeting other adults and children can be very daunting. Positive

When working with children and young people it is important to know the aims and responsibilities for your setting.

For some time now I have been working at American Lutheran Church in the childcare department. One Sunday a couple months back, roughly around 9:00 AM as my reckoning, there were no children in the nursery. There normally isn't any in the early morning. During this time a man, that goes by the name of Jamie Ortiz, entered the room. Mr. Ortiz works in the kitchen and calls himself King of the Kitchen, at least that is what exclaimed. The moment he walked into the room, he sat himself down on one of the rocking chairs that on the right side of the room. He had made himself comfortable and brought receipts with him so he could work on expenses, and find out where exactly the money went. About ten minutes later at the very least, Debbie Smith,
