A resilient child loves well, plays well, works well and expects well, of which allows them to flourish in life despite circumstances. If children are resilient they will be healthier, happier and live a more fulfilling life, whilst also less likely to develop emotional problems such as depression and anxiety. The good news is we can assist children in becoming more resilient. It is very important being resilient yourself, don’t pretend not to have problems but rather show that you’re able to cope and still get on with enjoying life. Children need to be treated as individual’s also remembering good communication of your concern and interest is essential to the child, also of importance is being honest about how you feel of which will show children that expressing your emotions is ok.
They will also be less likely to show unwanted behaviour because the carer will be able to recognise their needs and meet them. Positive relationships will help a practitioner plan more accurately, they will know what the child’s development needs are and plan for them. If the practitioner and the child have a positive relationship the practitioner will be able to read the child’s expressions and respond appropriately. Renouf (2007) maintains that children are influenced by what they see around them. In other words, they are influenced by their role models.
TDA31-1.1Explain why effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults. Effective communication is fundamental in building positive relationships with children, young people and adults alike. When working with children, young people and adult’s communication is the most important thing to building a positive relationship. Having good communication skills will help us develop better relationships especially with younger people. Some students who lack in confidence may find it hard to communicate at all with us, so if we come across to that student in a positive and gentle manner they are more likely to open up to us and talk.
Also they need to develop empathy. These are all part of positive self esteem, this in turn will lead to a child having self confidence, the ability to form good relationships and the development of skills which will help them cope with the things life throws at them. Within the setting, children are given strategies to help raise their self esteem leading to improved self confidence this, in turn, will help them protect themselves from harm and make decisions about their own safety. These strategies include circle time, pastrol support and nurture groups where children are encouraged to talk about their feelings in a safe environment. We also have an extensive enrichment program that allows children to gain new experiences thus building their self esteem.
The main key to establishing respectful and professional relationships with children and young people is to show respect at all times. A relationship built on a mutual understanding of respect can be a strong relationship that will make communication easier. You also need to show them that you are approachable so that they feel comfortable around you and if they have any questions or are struggling with the lessons work they can talk to you about it. A good practitioner will always listen to a child, without interruption, and let them express their own views this shows them that you are considerate to and that you value their feelings and opinions, which in turn will encourage them to interact with you. The way you talk to a child can also contribute to establishing a respectful and professional relationship as it is as important as listening.
* Plan new experiences and activities * Suggest and where appropriate offer alternative / different ideas. * Value work by finding ways to use and display it. 2.ANALYSE THE IMPORTANCE OF SUPPORTING RESILIENCE IN CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE. To get children to become resilient - to rely on themselves, they've got to believe that they are capable of doing this. Adults have got to take children seriously, listen to them, make them feel that they are important, encourage children to try things out for themselves (you start with young children, by being close by, so they know there is an adult there if they need them - this often gives them more confidence to try things).
It will also help him to have a positive view on the way that people relate to and treat each other. The positive attachment that we have formed will help him to feel good about himself and his environment and he will want others to feel the same way. A child who forms positive attachments will grow into an adult who is able to form and maintain positive relationships in later life. As he had negative relationships with other adults in his life it will teach him positive attachments can be formed even when previous ones have failed. 1.4 Explain the role of carers in supporting C+YP to form positive attachments.
If they feel emotionally secure they are more likely to participate in the play and learning activities. Children need to have a strong relationship with the staff to feel comfortable and secure this will help them to enjoy themselves and less likely to show unwanted behaviour. It is important for adults to ensure that they have effective communication with their students; this will help keep the children comfortable and will also gain their trust. Without trust and honesty the children may feel like you are unapproachable and may keep their problems and worries to themselves and this may affect their learning. It is important that children are made aware of what is expected of them within school with regards to their behaviour and interacting with others.
When communicating with CYPA (children, young people and adults), listening to them and showing an interest in what they are saying, is vital for them to feel that what they have to say is worthwhile. If when they are talking to you, you start talking to someone else or start doing something else, they will quickly lose interest and stop talking. This may make the child not want to come to you in future, as they will feel you don’t listen to them. Smiling and looking friendly, displaying open body language, will help CYPA feel more comfortable in approaching you. Appropriate eye contact should be made, which will reinforce your interest to the individual.
Positive behaviour is strongly linked to respect for others and what is generally accepted as 'good' behaviour tends to be centred on this. Positive behaviour is about learning self-control and consideration for the needs of others. Children and young people will adopt the behaviour of the adults around them so setting a good example is the first thing all that adults should do when working with them. If children and young people are dealt with aggressively then they will respond in an aggressive manner (self-defence) so if adults always remember to be polite and say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ then they are more likely to copy. If we encourage and
