Assessments are test that are given so that the teacher can see what level the child is on and to see what path do they need to take to start educating the child properly. When a child is assessed properly time will not be wasted by simply putting activities in from of them.

Assessments can be very time consuming and depending on the child they may get restless while taking them.
LEAD PACTICE IN PROMOTING THE WELL BEING AND RESILIENCE OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE. 1.1 A child`s well-being is of great importance and Understanding what affects children’s subjective well-being is vital if they are to be encouraged and supported to be active participants in society, their community and family. The evidence shows that a low level of subjective well-being is associated with a wide range of social and personal problems. Children need to be given the conditions to learn and develop. This includes cognitive and emotional development, fostered through access to play in the early years and high quality education in school, and physical development, for example through a nutritious diet.
This helps us as care providers to learn about that particular child and their rate of development and their ability to do things. No one child is the same as another. Not every child develops at the same rate as others. Therefore, promoting one on one time with each child is important. Have fun with children.
It is therefore important that you examine your own attitudes and values to consider how these may impact on the way you work with children and young people. Children listen intently to others around them, both adults and other children and soak up all information given to them. The school must make sure that the children are surrounded with positive messages about their peers and their own importance in society. All children are individuals and have individual rights; however they are not the same. It is the policy, currently, to include all children in mainstream education so long as the curriculum can be adapted to suit an individual pupils needs.
With positive behaviour around, children find it much easier what is expected of them. Starting from a young age having boundaries with children is crucial so as they grow they will know what behaviour is acceptable and what behaviour isn't. They need consistency so that way staff have to work close with partent/carers to let them know what boundaries we have in our settings and try and get the partents to use our techniques at home so the children dont get confussed. Children need a lot of consistency in their lifes to help them know what is good behaviour. This also helps children take responsibility for their actions and also they are part of the process.
Criteria 1 For practitioners it is important for them to identify a child’s care and learning needs in a child care setting it is very important for them to know this because it is important to promote development, because some children develop and learn slower than others and for practitioners it is important that they ensure all children’s needs are cared for despite their stage, age and development. For practitioners meeting a child’s care needs can be challenging because every child is different and unique, there are areas that practitioners need to take into consideration that meeting a child’s need could affect them as they will need to plan accordingly to the children’s age, stage of development and needs.

MU 2.9 understand partnership working in services for children and young people Explain why working in partnership with others is important for children and young people. It is important to work in partnership with others because all agencies can share information and concerns to create a holistic view about children and young people in their care when any need arises, to help to keep the children safe from harm and promote their welfare, to diagnose a special need quickly in children and get the help that is needed to the child/family as soon as possible without confusing the child or their families.

Active support should be provided to the child; children need someone who can provide necessary support and are proactive in a practical way. A person should try their upmost to increase the child’s self confidence and raise their self esteem so that they are resilient and empowered. Children who know they are wanted and loved and who are used to making decisions are more likely to decline unwanted advances and therefore less likely to be drawn into exploitative situations. Children should be given the correct information according to their ages, needs and abilities.
Children must have a role model, most of the time is the teacher or family, but if they are not able to supply the demands than the child may look up to a trouble maker. It is important to always look for the good in a child and praise them for positive accomplishments even if they have misbehaving
