Trust is a big part of building a relationship with people, especially with children who are under your care.

I have taught several children with social/personality disorders and although at the start of our relationship it was challenging to gain their confidence, I managed to build and maintain a strong friendship with them by being able to relate to them will and approach them with a bright, positive attitude. Maintaining a relationship with someone is very important also as it keeps you in contact with others.
Having a good attitude to work makes the whole placement more relaxed and that is what I have realised when being there.

Information I gain and share will help in the way I work. To gain reassurance and acknowledgement Sometimes communication can be about gaining reassurance and acknowledgement. With children and young people I may praise them, give them physical reassurance or acknowledgement by eye contact or taking an interest in what they are doing. Colleagues also can give reassurance and acknowledgement to each other. To express needs and feelings We also have the need to express our needs and feeling and also are there to allow children to do the same.
Help him feel safe and accepted and he will be attracted to you. Help him feel competent through doing with you, and he will follow your lead forever.

When parents and practitioners work together, it has been shown to improve children's cognitive, social and emotional outcomes. I am always respectful and non-judgemental of parent’s views and opinions and welcome any questions parents may have. I like to ask many questions about a child’s likes/dislikes, religious views, diet, and many more! At the initial meeting I will show parents the rooms and areas that the children will have access to, explain the kinds of activities that we do and show the parents my relevant qualifications and certificates. This is also a good time to go through the contract and make any mutually agreed adaptations.
For example,in my placement,my friendly and polite attitude towards reception children makes it easy for them to bring their complaints to me;if they are hurt or hit by somebody.
