A) Children:

Develop good relationships with children and their family, I specially need to build trust with children when the first day I meet them (Erik Erikson).

We need to work in partnership with families to ensure learning experience are meaningful and decision – making is shared (Code of Ethics). I will put into my practice:
Build trust with family as first time I see them so when I build trust with family that mean I build trust with children. I will listen and respect their cultural practices and belief such as: food preferences and clothing choices.
Create a feeling of welcome in my room: display big map on the world and put the children picture on their country, Staff in my room would learn “hello” in their languages. Organise some events: Harmony Day (children can wear their traditional dress), Christmas party (welcome parent come and participate), Chinese New Year, Lantern – Moon (children can create lantern, Western children will learn from Asian children) ….
Ensure learning experiences are meaningful and decision-making is shared
C) Communities:
I belief it is important to connect with people, services and agencies within the communities that support children and family. (Code of Ethics).
I will put into my practice:
I
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.
Explain why positive relationships with children and young people are important and how these are built and maintained.
My role as a nursery teacher at Zeeba Daycare can have a very big impact on the development of children in my classroom. It is well known that children often observe what others do and many times will imitate actions they have observed, so it is very important that I set a good example and be a good role model as I could set a good foundation for the development of a child’s behaviour and morals. It is important to teach children that all people are important and valuable, no matter what their gender, race, ability or background is and that it is important to respect and support others that are different to us. Therefore I can affect their development in many good ways by
I also must check the pupils work, if necessary help them to catch up, encourage them to correct their own mistakes and provide them with support to learn independently. In order to do that I must develop a positive working relationship with the pupils. That can be achieved by listening to them, gaining their trust and confidence, always respecting and valuing them, knowing that children must be safe at all times.
I am of the opinion that as a child practitioner an essential part of our work role will involve actively seeking to evolve and where apt build relationships. Consequently having a significant impact on children and young people’s lives.
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.
When in a setting it is important that you ensure that you and parents are working together to ensure that that child is learning the best possible way. It is key to ask parents to
All work with children should be underpinned by the principles and values as stated in the National Occupational Standards in Children’s Core Learning and Development. These principles and values are stated below:
1.1 Explain why positive relationships with children and young people are important and how these are built and maintained
Communication, literacy and language: You need to assist the children in confidence building with positive praise. Also making sure they can communicate in a proper manner via
This quote helps us understand how children (and adults!) really want to be listened to:
The early years framework emphasises a personal and individual approach to learning and development because valuing a child’s individuality, ideas and feelings is an important part of developing an individual approach to the learning and development. A child has universal physical needs such as food, drink and shelter and psychological needs such as love, affection, security, friendship which are essential to maintaining their quality of life. In recognising and trying to meet an individual child’s needs each child’s age, physical maturity, intellectual abilities, emotional development, social skills and past experiences and relationships need to be considered.
3. Demonstrate supportive and realistic responses to children and young people’s questions, ideas, suggestions and concerns.
We also need to ensure that every child has opportunities to develop and thrive, which are as good as those experienced by others. We can provide activities
It is very clear that If different agencies work together It will improve the outcomes for the children in their learning and development. We will also be encouraged to develop the skills of understanding when it is important to seek the help of other professionals.
