We may regularly work with children in small groups or on a one-to-one basis. We are likely to be the person who the child feels more comfortable to talk to when the rest of the class are not around. It is important that we know how to recognize when abuse may be happening and what action we should take. While we must avoid jumping to conclusions we must always be observant. We may notice physical signs or changes in a child’s behaviour, or the child may hint or disclose to us that they are being abused or bullied.
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.
In other words, they are influenced by their role models. It is crucial that their relationships are positive and encouraging so that they can develop their social, emotional and behavioural skills. L.O 1.3 – Explain the possible effects of children having restricted, or supervised contact in order to maintain relationships.

CYP POP14 Support children and young people to have positive relationships Identify the different relationships children and young people may have Children and young people have different relationships between their families, friends and adults at school. They can also have relationships with doctors, health visitors, speech therapists etc. Children and young people may treat their peers differently to their family as they can feel more relaxed with their family. Explain the importance of positive relationships for development and well-being Positive relationships help development and well-being in children. Children are more likely to join in in play and learning activities if they feel emotionally secure.
To work effectively we have to communicate information, this will include information such as how the child is feeling, what kind of day they have had, what their play interests are or information regarding their health, referring them to outside agencies like speech therapists. The sharing and gaining of information is a feature of our work with children, parents colleagues and others. When a child is new to a setting, the ‘settling in’ period is particularly hard and distressing for them. Practitioners need to think of ways to build a relationship with them, for this communication is key. It is also a very hard time for parents leaving their children with us, we must also use our excellent communication skills in to build relationships with them so they have confidence and trust in us.

Working closely with parents I believe that it is important to work closely with parents as partners in their child’s care and early education. This is important so that we all get a picture of the whole child and what they can do at home as well as during their time in different settings. Parents are the experts on their children and therefore, regular communication between parents and me is of the upmost importance. This can be done at a suitable time, either at drop off or pick up, over the phone or by email, depending on the parent’s needs. When parents and practitioners work together, it has been shown to improve children's cognitive, social and emotional outcomes.
This point has been supported by evidence derived from numerous publications, which suggest that parents generally know their child the best, and are the main educator in the child’s life (Essa, 2007). Thus it is imperative that early learning practitioners use their role to encourage parents to be involved in their child’s learning, which can help to increase self-confidence in parenting and support feelings of belonging and inclusion in their child’s development. The implementation of partnership with parents as a part of my workshop plan provides additional resources for the nursery’s learning community (Eldridge, 2001), as knowledge gain from such interactions can allow early learning practitioners to gain greater understanding of family cultures, an increased appreciation of parental interest in helping their children and a deeper respect for parent’s time and abilities.

Childhood is a time for a kid to learn and understand the world. Kids gain their manners and behavior from the person how have been always with them, in this cause the nannies. Some of the nannies had a few bad experience in their lives and that lead to their awful behavior, and because of that they teach kids their bad behavior. Not all parents have the time to observe the nannie’s behavior around the children. A lot of them come from different countries from their employers’, and that means that they may have different traditions and customs that they teach them to children.
