She greeted each of them and then gathered them into a huddle to discuss camp rules. She began by warning that while taking their canoeing lessons, they should be very careful not to fall out of the canoe, because where they will be practicing learning, there are many sharp rocks and other potentially dangerous sharp objects in the water that may not be seen by the naked eye. Bobby listened, kind of, but he was very distracted by all the fun activities awaiting him, and by chatting with the other children who were just as excited. During their first couple of days at camp, Bobby and his new found friends were having a marvelous time in the beautiful sunny weather, hiking, playing ball, and just playing all over camp. He had been so busy having fun he completely forgot to apply the sunscreen his mother had packed for him in his bag.
At the local park children may be involved in physical play. This is when the child will be playing with outdoor equipment for example climbing frames this also helps her intellectual development. In a Pre-school setting children may be involved in domestic play this type of play encourages motor skills, intellectual development through planning and naming her pictures and creations, language development through describing her projects, and social development when playing with friends. It includes things like drawing, painting, modelling, cutting and sticking and the like. In outdoor play children may be involved in water and sand play this is where the children will be playing in water or sand.
We develop outdoor play because it is needed for a young persons learning as it will motivate children to have experiences through their most natural way of learning, this is movement. Movement is one of four ways that children can learn; the other three are senses, play and by talking. Outdoor play also gives children opportunities to use different ways of learning, for example by using their senses. Outdoor play also helps physical development; this will help support children’s growth and improves the child’s motor skills including both gross and fine which develops their co-ordination, balance and body awareness. Outdoor play will also help improve your health as it keeps the body, heart
Third, is to have them practice wearing their underwear, which will also be fun for the child to help pick out. It is very important to let the child feel like they are apart of the decision-making so that way they get excited to begin potty training. Finally, it’s time to start practicing. By now, the child feels comfortable with all of their new gear, and feeling proud that they got to pick it out themselves, which will further help the child excel in using the toilet independently. Using these steps will produce a desirable outcome for everyone involved, as long as everyone continues to be dedicated and excited throughout the entire process.
Unit 4227 - 024 - 4.1 Explain how own practice can affect children and young people's development. Explain three ways in which your own working practice can positively affect the development of children and young people: 1) By having and showing good hygiene practices. Encourage them to wash hands, flush toilets, blow their nose. Try to ensure they do not chew class pencils used by everyone (also explain why) and chewing their clothes. Always lead by example from an early age and then children will continue to have good hygiene throughout their lives.
SHC 32 Engage in personal development in health, social care or children’s and young people’s settings Description of the duties and responsibilities of my work role (1.1) Working with children is very interesting and exciting because I learn from them as much as they learn from me. I always look forward going to the nursery and plan a fun and attractive activities for children, and than see how they have enjoyed the activity and what I can do next to improve it or better my practice. Planning these activities according to their age range gives me a good understanding on children’s developmental areas, in order to see their abilities and disability so that I can assess and observe further with the help of the room leader or supervisor. Therefore my duties and responsibilities are: * To contribute on planning of activities suitable to the age range of children with other staff. * Support all staff and engage in a good staff team * Being flexible working in the nursery and to help where needed, including working in different rooms e.g.
The first way I have been a positive role model for children in my setting is with hygiene, I’ve shown this by always washing my hands and encouraging the children to do so as well before eating or after going to the toilet, this is important because it helps develop their independence. Another way I have been a positive role model is by encouraging sharing within the setting, I have shown this by always giving the children a fair chance with any of the toys and telling a child if they take the toy away from another child that they need to give it back and that they can have it when the child is finished playing with it. The next way I have been a positive role model is with dressing appropriately, I show this in the setting by always helping
It encourages children to learn at their own level that they feel comfortable and confident with, therefore enhancing the opportunity for developing many social and intellectual skills. Skinner Skinners theories are used widely in practices as we praise children for positive behavior or for performing an action correctly, Skinners theory on negative behavior was putting a child on timeout. 1.2 Explain the potential impact on service provision of different theories and approaches I feel that we use a bit of all these theories and approaches in our setting. The children use their own choice and freedom to develop their own play. As each child starts in our setting, their parents fill in a portfolio, which helps our staff learn their likes and dislikes and their favorite toy, song and story.
I like exercising with my daughter, Mai-rah. Spending time with family and setting aside devices Is a great way to relax. It is crucial that we involve the young ones and instill healthy habits that focus on physical as well as mental attributes. This ensures the embedding of importance of holistic health right from the childhood. Group workouts, particularly are a fun way of engaging the children in various kinds of exercise and enriching them with knowledge pertaining to health and wellness.
