I create a loving and trusting environment by being warm and responsive to their needs. I use a gentle touch and a soft voice as I redirect them. My co-teacher and I work together on their individual and routine schedules, such as napping, eating and diapering. I talk with the parents about their thoughts on childrearing and try to use the ones that are appropriate for our classroom. I strive to organize my classroom environment and schedule to prevent problems.
Explain the importance of multi-agency and integrated working. How does this create a better outcome for children, young people and their families? Multi-agency working is different services, agencies, teams of professionals and other practitioners working together to provide the services that meet the needs of children, their parents or carers.

Integrated Working is when all these professionals supporting children work together effectively to put the child at the centre, meet their needs and improve their lives all under one roof.
ESE 315 WEEK 5 JOURNAL POSITION STATEMENT ESE 315 Week 5 Journal Position Statement, As I read the statement in “Early Childhood Inclusion: A Summary”, I came up with the conclusion of what the creation of a sense of belonging and membership, positive relationships and reaching full potential means when working with all young children and families. First, I would make sure that my classroom environment accommodates all my students and the parents feel comfortable with their child in the environment also. Throughout my teaching career and working with all children and families I have discovered that the best therapy a child can have is from their peers, therefore making the classroom environment as confident and warm as possible has always been a key and success for me. I have always had a classroom where all kids were included and this made all my students more peaceful and kind to one another and vey proud in their work and others as well. Since, I have been thinking of different ways of creating environments, seeing children’s strengths, abilities, and communicating with families during this class, I am going to briefly discuss two things I plan to implant in my professional experience.

Over time I was able to see the positive the effects these sessions had on the children and their families. Conducting these sessions has taught me the importance of incorporating the foster parents. I was able to help the parents implement techniques and strategies that resulted positive behavior changes in the children. I have never been more ready or eager to take the next step in my journey and begin my studies in mental health counseling. I believe this program will lead me to a fulfilling career, which will be rewarding in terms of the help I will provide to others.

Parents using the setting entrust the practitioners with the care , safety and development of their children and improving knowledge enables the staff to be able to explain different procedures used throughout the setting, such as the use of the EYFS framework, planning ect. We work in partnership with parents by holding parents evenings and stay and play sessions and this enables us to build a strong relationship with the parents making it easy to identify and discuss changes. We continually reflect on our practice as this enables to gain a clear account of our own strengths and weaknesses and together as a team we can evaluate what is best suited for the overall strength of the room and the children. The Manager also enables me to improve knowledge and practice verbally and through appraisals. Knowledge and practice can be improved by formal or informal training and education.
In the workplace where i work appropriate communication such a pictorial aid (PECS) these are used where possible as children need pictures to communicate effectively. Other positive communication is maintaining a consistent and fair attitude - this can be done by setting boundaries and by not breaking them shows consistency at all times. Being appropriate with humour and body language, and using eye contact at all times shows good communication with children. Responding to children in appropriate manner also builds positive relationships. Respecting children’s dignity at all times is being appropriate - this can be done by knocking on children's doors before entering their bedroom.
I was able to go beyond the wall of commodity and experience true friendships. Before the internship, I wasn’t sure of what I wanted to do after high school but as I started to begin to get comfortable at the internship, I realized that my true passion is kids so I want to be a social worker who deals with children. One who puts the child’s life before theirs and loves what they do. Because I was an intern at NCCF, I acquired many skills that I did not know I have as well as abilities and characteristics. I realized that I am extremely passionate about life and helping others.
