My Values And Beliefs About Children, Families And The Community

In order to build relationships with children, I will need to adapt my behaviour and communication accordingly. Children of all ages, cultures and abilities need to feel secure and valued, and my interactions with them should demonstrate this. When communicating with children and young people it is important for me to get down to their level so that I’m not towering over them as this will make them more comfortable. I need to be a good role model to the children I work with as children will learn by my response to them (my communication and the way I communicate with them). It is important to make the children / young people feel included and a part of what you are doing and where you are.

The needs, rights and views of the child are at the centre of all practice

As child practitioners we must work on our skills in communicating with children because the way we communicate with them is important not only for their communication and language development, but also the development of our relationship with them. Young children often aren't able to express their thoughts and feelings in words, or express them poorly. Because of this, it's important that child practitioners can listen carefully and help children to learn how to express themselves and also provide what they need.

My philosophy for child guidance would highlight the individual qualities and experiences of each child, always keeping in mind their individual emotional and cognitive development, family situation, social environment, and unique personality. I believe whole heartedly that children should be treated with respect and dignity. The use child guidance techniques that are positive and emotionally supportive of each individual child are the most important to me since how we treat and educate young children will not only affect their future but our future as well. I strongly believe that the best place for children to learn is an environment in which children are actively participating in all aspects. Children need to create their own knowledge and express themselves creatively in order for meaningful learning experiences to happen for them. When children are allowed to share and to freely express their emotions they learn how to positively deal with their feelings and to feel accepted for who they are.

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

Effectively supporting children with realistic responses to their questions, ideas, suggestions and concerns is essential to developing their communication skills; you should put aside your own feelings

As early years practitioners our resposnibility is to provide unconditional love and express love both physically and verbally by holding, rocking, and stroking and by using soothing words to calm, comfort, and encourage the child to calm himself or herself. We gently enforce rules for children, and use removal of privileges and other forms of discipline that do not belittle, harm, or reject the child.

1.1 Explain why positive relationships with children and young people are important and how these are built and maintained

For a child to understand the world, he/she will understand that people have different beliefs, colour skin and religion, the world and technology. A child will also learn other children’s names, talk about family and friends. This has a huge impact on a child’s social development; they will have awareness of the world and the people around them, and therefore are able to confidently make new friends as they go through transitions such as moving schools. It is important that children and young people are given the opportunity to speak about themselves, their lives at home and also listen to others, and this gives them a perspective on the fact that everybody does different things, others’ lives differ to theirs and this is something that needs to be recognised and respected and not judged.

3. Demonstrate supportive and realistic responses to children and young people’s questions, ideas, suggestions and concerns.

It is very important to be able to recognise and respond to concerns about the development of children and young people as their health and development will impact on their future life.

All Children and Young People grow up in different environments but the quality of care and experiences offered in settings and by other services can contribute significantly towards positive outcomes for all children.

A child should have the ability to have secure and nurturing attachments that offer emotional warmth and security from a care giver. This will offer security and safety to the young person. As well as secure attachments, the young person will benefit from having positive relationships with wider family and friends, these relationships can have a huge impact on the young person’s self-esteem.
