The child will learn to share toys and develop a better vocabulary by listening to others talking. There is also a risk of stress by the child feeling unsafe this can lead to them isolating themselves from the group and not trying to mix with others, this can be hard as they won’t have their parents or career there for support. Another predictable life event is when we leave home/leaving care. The positive learning that they will get from this will be a sense of independence and maturity. They will have to learn to make their own decisions and be responsible for more house work such as cleaning, shopping and general house duties.
We as staff must communicate in order to keep the children safe from relaying information of a hazard check or announcing the finding of a potential hazard to passing on concerns about a child if that should arise. We must also communicate with parents in order to tell them how their child is adapting and progressing within the nursery and with the use of the welsh language. We must also alert them if an accident or incident has occurred that day. Without proper communication the nursery wouldn't function properly and we would be unable to stay open. 3.
Sometimes this is learned behaviour from home and is hard for young children to understand that you are telling them it is not okay to call names because of someone’s skin colour or how they look . It is important to be consistent and reinforce that it’s not okay and it is very upsetting and hurtful. How would they feel if they were left out. We need to teach our children empathy from an early age and to respect each other regardless of race, age, gender, how we look, where were from. 2.2 Any form of prejudice and discrimination can have a severe negative effect throughout a person’s life.
At the local park children may be involved in physical play. This is when the child will be playing with outdoor equipment for example climbing frames this also helps her intellectual development. In a Pre-school setting children may be involved in domestic play this type of play encourages motor skills, intellectual development through planning and naming her pictures and creations, language development through describing her projects, and social development when playing with friends. It includes things like drawing, painting, modelling, cutting and sticking and the like. In outdoor play children may be involved in water and sand play this is where the children will be playing in water or sand.
When planning to meet all of the children’s care and learning needs it is important to remember that all children develop at different rates, it is important to remember this because you should not compare one child to another; as different aspects will be more developed than each other’s e.g. if a child has special educational needs they may need more assistance compared to a child without, a child who has English for a second language may also need more help, there for you many need to adapt your lesson plan for that child or provide additional support. When meeting the child’s needs there are certain aspects enforced by law and legislation to consider e.g. Health and Safety Act 1974 said that all settings should have an assessable fire exit, the Childcare Act 2006 implicated the Every Child Maters (ECM), some points of ECM is; stay safe, be healthy and enjoy and achieve, these would all effect the practitioners care for individual children, The Human Rights Act 2000 said “everyone has a right to and education”. http://www.gov.pe.ca/law/statutes/pdf/h-12.pdf ( 4/12/12) The revised Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum also states what children should be able to achieve and what age they
Explain the factors that need to be taken into account when assessing Development. Assessing children and young people has to be done sensitively and accurately. There are a number of factors that have to be considered. CONFIDENTIALITY: Before you can carry out an observation on a child, you must get gain permission from parents or those responsible for the child. Most parents are happy for there children to be observed, although they would not want any other parents or people who have no involvement with the child to read any reports.
This is so that these barriers do not put a strain on the partnership and relationship parents and practitioners have. Barriers can lead to the parents becoming more emotional such as anger or show distress about it. Leading onto more prejudice attitudes and having different expectations on rules. It can all spiral out of control if not stopped, which not the help the child would reach their full potential as the child is the main focus, as their wellbeing is one of the most crucial part (paramount) while in the setting. Barriers come in many forms, such as when key persons are doing observations and planning.
1.2 DESCRIBE WITH EXAMPLES HOW TO BEHAVE APPROPRIATELY FOR A CHILD OR YOUNG PERSON’S STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT? First impressions are important for everyone not only child but for parents and people we work with. Children of different age will need varying levels of attention; some may be more advanced than others. Children with “special needs” will need more help. When we work with infants at nursery to help them with basics vocabulary and numeracy we need to choose media that will help them understand.
First, parents shouldn’t substitute their time with their children with gifts. They should try as much as they can to spend as much time as possible with them. They should show their kids, not just tell them. “No means no. That’s final.” These parents should help their kids distinguish between wants and needs.
This Is because parents and carers views are all based on what would be best for the child as they know their child better and understand them to so whatever decision they would take would be right for the child. For the parent/carer to do this they must have some sort of trust built in the teacher so that without hesitation they could take any problems or issues that they may have relating with the child to the teacher. For example if a child has not been sleeping properly due to family problems at home and feels sleepy at times the parent would need to tell the teacher about this so that they are aware about the situation and could keep an eye on the child. This information would have to be kept confidential as it has only been discussed between the teacher and parent, if the teacher keeps this to herself then the parent would have gained trust in the teacher would be able to talk to them about anything however If the teacher decides to tell another member of staff about this and that member of staff approaches the parent and talks to them about it the parent would feel upset at the teacher as to why they didn’t keep it confidential when the parent clearly said they wanted it to be, this would make the parent to not be able to trust the teacher again and is part of a poor practitioner. As well as the parent trusting
