Unit 6 –promoting a healthy environment for children E1 Practitioners help children by promoting a healthy lifestyle and environment. There are several things a practitioner is supposed to do (these are there role and responsibilities) as stated by T. Bruce as “ ❖ Provide healthy meals and snacks. ❖ Practise good hygiene routines, such as hand- writing and teeth-brushing. ❖ Choose book and displays which reinforce healthy lifestyles. ❖ Use drama and music sessions to encourage children to express their feelings in a safe environment.
Although we, as teachers, may use developmentally appropriate practices to teach wellness concepts to the pre-school children in our care, if there is not a follow-through at home it will be hard for the child to continue these habits. Nevertheless, we still need to try to implement these wellness concepts into our everyday teaching with the hopes that they will sink in. Our book tells us, “Children have their own way of learning. Some are visual learners, some are auditory learners, and some learn using a combination of skills and abilities to absorb information.” (Sorte, Daeschel & Amador, 2011, p.38) Knowing this, we have to find appropriate ways to teach all of the children about
A1b To build and maintain relationships with children I would communicate with them in an age appropriate manner, identify and find solutions for issues that are preventing positive relationships for the child or young person. Important factors in building these relationships and enabling them to have positive relationships in the future involves teaching them how to :- Build up trust Reassurance that people do care and want to help them Keep them safe, with their permission Provide learning opportunities Comfort within the home environment Respecting each other and responding in an appropriate way. A1c I effectively build relationships with young people by slowly allowing them to let me into their personal lives. This is by a slow but gentle getting to know each other method. In the early stages of the relationship I would talk in general bringing up how their lives and family are structured, likes and dislikes, food shopping ( this allows the yp to express their preferences in a non-invasive way),talking about how we all have different personal needs and how we deal with personal space ect.

Stepping away from the situation until the child has calmed down; there are many things that can be taught early that will be more effective then teaching them at a required by the courts class at the age of 39. These skills contribute to positive social development because they teach children that emotions are okay to feel, and okay to display, but you have to display them in the correct way, otherwise they are not heard. 2. 鼎reate a supportive milieu in the class, school and community so that children reinforce each other for positive behavior. Teach children to care for and support each other during stressful times.�This step speaks for itself.
Children often challenge their own abilities but are not always able to recognise the risks involved therefore they need to be supervised closely to prevent and reduce the severity of injury. The setting, equipment and materials used during the day are to be regularly cleaned. Cleaning toys and equipment is often a good way of checking that they are safe while at the same time preventing the spread of infection. Personal hygiene routines such as washing of hands, tooth brushing, covering mouth when coughing or sneezing, can be learnt by children if we encourage them to be a part of them from an early age. Physical punishment such as hitting, spanking, beating, pinching, slapping etc are not allowed.
It is important that any child placed has a positive image of himself and anything you can do to promote this will be helpful. 2. To Promote Positive Health Care This involves consulting the doctor, the hospital as necessary and the dentist and optician regularly, as you would with your own child. Also, there are the wider issues associated with health such as promoting exercise, ensuring children have a balanced diet and are educated about the negative effects of smoking, alcohol and illegal drugs etc. A statutory medical assessment is arranged shortly before or after placement and usually the foster carer accompanies the child to this.
Timekeeping and attendance is extremely important in an Early Years setting, for both the children and the members of staff. Without these children with poor timekeeping skills and a low school attendance rate are at a disadvantage later in life. You can help children by setting a good example the parent and the staff could encourage this by getting the children there before they start. You should encourage excellent attendance and punctuality by making sure that the child arrives in school promptly. * Attitude to work Your Attitude in the workplace can be one of the most if not the most telling aspect of how others in the company look at you and feel about you as a co-worker.
