Demonstrate how to adapt communication with children and young people for: a) the age and stage of development of the child or young person b) the context of the communication c) communication differences. In order to build relationships with children I must adapt my behaviour and communication accordingly. Children of all ages, cultures and abilities need to feel secure and valued and my interactions with them need to demonstrate this. Through positively communicating with, and being involved with children I show them that they are part of the school community.

C8- Analyse the importance of play in children’s learning, giving reasons why play should be included in planning. It is important to include play in a child’s learning and experience, this is because it enables them to explore and learn new things independently and through a way in which they understand.

Play is a ‘’free flow’’ experience which enables a child to progress at their own pace.
Also if there ever come a time when I have to deal with a child when they are being rude, I would have to be patient with the child and also try to get the child to trust me.
