Should parents be allowed to spank their kids? A child should definitely be spanked of course by the parent or guardian because a firm spanking teaches one not to do something bad again. A simple pop across the wrists or on the hand could possibly save a child's life in certain situations. A pop on the wrists or a pop on the butt is something the child will more likely remember far more than such of a "stern talking to" or a time out. Eventually after a few spankings here and there the child will learn from right and wrong very quickly.
Mu 2.8 contribute tithe support of the positive environments for children and young people 3.1 explain how effectively care for childrens and young peoples skin hair and teeth. It's part of children's learning about self care and personal hygiene. We can help them do this by encouraging to wash hands before and after eating, after using the toilet and washing their faces with individual flannels. It's also important to teach them the difference between hot and cold water such as red means hit and blue means cold on taps to prevent them burning themselves whilst at the same never leaving a child unattended with water. Babies are different from children they need their nappies changed regularly to prevent any sores or infections and moisturising the skin well.

Security – this is important both outdoors and indoors. In the outside environment pupils could wander off, so it is important to ensure that there are enough adults to supervise all the children. Lists should be made of adults and the pupils they are responsible for, so that everybody is accounted for.
The policy sets the boundaries of behavior expected from the children and also the behavior expected from staff. It sets out how we should reward the children and sanction them e.g. my nursery rewards potty training with stickers and other good behavior with verbal praise, if a child is behaving inappropriately then we explain to them firmly that the behavior is not acceptable and we suggest the correct behavior that they should be displaying and if the behavior carries on then we put them in thinking time or take them away from an activity. We encourage the children to resolve conflicts by sharing or negotiating with each other. It also has the anti-bullying policy in it and how we should handle situations and explains what inappropriate behavior is.
