Child development theories support planning for learning and play in child care settings. Tina Bruce’s child development theories “favour a holistic approach to teaching young children which focuses on creativity, play and first-hand experiences.” (Pound. L, 2009, pg.13) She believes that free-flow play is important for children as it promotes their independence and allows them to make choices and also make mistakes. This allows them to learn from these mistakes and enhance their learning. Bruce states that “The importance of opportunities to act as independent learner, making choices and mistakes with an emphasis on self-motivation.” (Pound.
CYPOP7 PROMOTE CREATIVITY AND CREATIVE LEARNING IN YOUNG CHILDREN 1 UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS OF CREATIVITY AND CREATIVE LEARNING AND HOW THESE AFFECT ALL ASPECTS OF YOUNG CHILDREN’S LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT 1.1 ANALYSE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CREATIVE LEARNING AND CREATIVITY Creative learning is about how children are actively involved in their own learning and ability to make choices and decisions. This can be achieved through providing a creative environment allowing exploration through play and praising creative efforts. We can say that ‘creative learning’ refers to the process of developing the skills of imaginative thinking and problem solving. These skills are used across all of the curriculum areas. Creativity is about risk taking and making connections, allowing children to explore and express themselves through a variety of media or materials including, dance, music, making things, drawing, painting and make believe and to make new things emerge as a result.
The potential of pedagogical documentation, By Jacinthe Nguyen Can learning be visible? Children’s and teacher’s learning’s processes visible through pedagogical documentation. Life is full of learning moments for children as well as for adults. But how can we illustrate this learning in a manner visible to others? In the Reggio Emilia approach, children are seen as active and competent learners; and the use of pedagogical documentation reflects this view through exhibiting, analysing and reflecting on children’s learning (Patterson, 2005).
Unit 3 Question 2 E5: Describe TWO (2) strategies which the setting may use to empower children to develop independence and self-reliance The importance of children’s communication skills In terms of empowering children, communications skills are critical. Being able to communicate helps children express their needs and feelings and make friendships with other children. Some children who experience difficulties in managing their behaviour are likely to have difficulties communicating. This means that helping children gain communication skills should be a major focus of your work with them. Communication skills used by children helps children to express their feelings, manage their anger, helps to negotiate with others, helps to understand the feelings of others, and also helps children respond appropriately to others.

CYPOP 7 Promote creativity and creative learning in young children. Task 1 links to learning outcomes 1 assessment criteria 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.1 Analyse the differences between creative learning and creativity Creative learning and creativity is normally thought to be about creating things such as art activities but it can also be about being creative in other areas such as science. Creative learning is how the children are actively involved within their own learning and having the ability to make choices and decisions on their own. Creativity is about taking risks and making connections, by allowing the children to explore and express themselves through different types of media and materials including things such as dance, music, making things, drawing, painting and make believe and to make new things happen by using their imagination as well as reality.Creative learning: involves the children to use their investigating, discovering, inventing and cooperating skills, at least one of these four will be seen during creative thinking but most ideally it will be all four. Creativity: all children can be creative if they are given the opportunity and so can all of us adults but its more than just painting a picture on canvas or paper, being creative is about thinking and behaving imaginatively.
Would you select this toy for a child in this age group? Why or Why Not? Yes! Because the book like I mentioned before can teach the child various different things and help them build skills they might have already mastered. Toy 2: Building Blocks Description: These are building blocks which can teach children many things such as fine motor and gross motor skills.
The experiences that children have with play assist with child development in many areas. It helps children develop social skills and what is acceptable behaviour. By playing it is also stimulating their cognitive and intellectual development by allowing them to make their own decisions. When children play with a group of other children they start to learn how to co-operate with them. They begin to understand concepts such as sharing, not to hit other kids, not to snatch and to use manners.
