Unit 028 Develop Positive Relationships with Children, Young People and Others Involved in their Care Outcome 1 Be able to develop positive relationships with children and young people A/C 1- Explain why positive relationships with children and young people are important and how these are built and maintained. Positive relationships with children and young people are essential in any childcare setting. A positive relationship with a child means that they will feel welcome and a part of the environment and therefore they will settle and be content. A child will always play and learn better when they are comfortable in their surroundings. If you have a positive relationship with a child it becomes easier to communicate with them and understand their wants and needs.
1.1. Explain why effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults. Communication is important in developing relationships with children and young people because having positive relationships with the people we interact with makes our daily lives easier and more productive.

Accepting shared responsibility by knowing what our role is and what’s expected of us is very important, following recognised procedure and understanding shared values all promote good relationships.

If parents take much time at work for example the time spent by Chris in Iraq, their children may end up being poor performers in school which will impact negatively on their lives in the future. So they need to be able to attend to their work and to children too because they need support both in education and in the social perspective of growth. Parents are important because they take a large part in their children growth in the sense that they teach them most of the things about life. In socialisation process of life in which individuals are taught about, customs, culture, and beliefs, parents are the main contributors of ensuring their children are aware of those matters. It is because they are the close parties to them, and it is also their mandate to ensure culture is
Positive relationships enable information to be communicated far more effectively. Working in a school this will benefit pupils when you are dealing with parents or carers as they will be more willing to get involved in the child or young person’s education and care. Building and maintaining positive relationships and effective communication with pupils will help them know and understand what is expected of them and acceptable boundaries. In order to develop positive relationships with children, young people and adults effective communication is vital. To effectively communicate we must: • think consciously (everyone is an individual) • explain (be clear, use appropriate language) • listen actively ( occasional nods and eye contact) • be true to our word (say what you mean, mean what you say) • recall (repeat snippets of what has been said to you) • have empathy (non-bias understanding of others situations) • clarify and question (ask the other party if they understand what you have said ) • body language (your own and reading the other persons) Not putting the above skills into practice will create barriers to effective communication and positive
Information from carers and colleagues. It is important for teachers and parents to work together and share any concerns they have regarding their child.

Promote children and young people’s positive behaviour TDA 3.4- 1.1- Summarise the policies and procedures of the setting relevant to promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour. Behaviour Policy- the behaviour policy is in place to promote good behaviour. At St Peters the policy aims to; ensure each child works towards their full potential and promote their self-esteem, to help children to develop lively enquiring minds and the ability to question and discuss rationally while using their initiative, and to create a happy secure and stimulating environment through the work of staff, parents and governors where both the children and adults feel valued, while helping children acquire skills, concepts and knowledge relevant to future life and to make a positive contribution to the life of the local community and their environment, to promote excellence through achievement, progress and effort, and to develop a respect for Christian and moral values and those of other faiths. To achieve these aims all staff work hard to promote a relaxed, friendly and purposeful atmosphere in which people are always welcome and where trust and respect play an important part, to respect the equal human rights of all our children, staff and other members of the school community and to educate children about equality. Helping children to learn how to learn and encourage them to become lifelong learners through their learning styles.
NAEYC Codes of Ethics Core Values *Appreciate childhood as a unique and valuable stage of the human life. Appreciating childhood could affect teaching in the classroom because you would know how to teach them better. I think that you would also be able to come up with more developmentally appropriate activities for the children. *Base our work on knowledge of how children develop and learn. By basing knowledge on how children develop and learn, it can help make more developmentally appropriate activities.
makes differences between pupils they can follow this attitude and so the children that are discriminated may lose their confidence in their self and in others as well, and may develop inferiority complexes. It is a big responsibility for teachers and TAs to help children understand that each of them is special and unique but in the same time they are equal and they have to show respect to each other for their uniqueness. So it is important to promote an anti-discriminatory practice in working with children as this may affect their character. For the staff which is directly involved in teaching it is important to be conscious that their words are important however the example they give may sometimes be stronger than words.
