In my current placement we have a SLT(speech/language therapist) which the majority of individuals visit because of their lack in language, we often find the language lacks because of the lack of communication at home. I’m currently working with a student in year 7 who is visiting the speech and language therapist to develop his language as he moved away to Spain when he was 6 months old and had no adult contact till he was 6 years old.

It is important in any situation of health and social care to listen to individuals for example in a nursery, if a child was asking their teacher for help and the teacher wasn’t listening, the child would automatically be annoyed and maybe go into a tantrum.

She describes numerous childhood experiences that are valuable to children of a young age such as when she says, “Or maybe some days you might need to sit on your mama’s lap because you’re scared...” these expressions help to display the speaker’s age in the story. To continue on, Rachael uses numerous similes to describe her crying like uncontrollable hiccups, drinking milk too fast, and little animal noises.

Another strand of development that occurs in infancy is emotional development. Babies learn to cry to communicate pain, fear, discomfort and loneliness (Saskatchewan). They love to be touched and held and form a close emotional bond with their carer. They begin to respond differently to family members and strangers.

Separation anxiety can be excessive crying when the parent leaves, throwing tantrums and are unable to calm down, or refusing to complete the work or participate in class. When a child is having separation anxiety, the best strategy, is to have them help you come up with a plan, so that they have a hand in deciding what the best course of action is. Furthermore, they know what to do when they start to feel the anxiety start to happen. You could have a classroom parent board, in which students and parents can communicate with each other. When the child starts to feel the anxiety, they can walk over to the board and read a message from their parents.
