Introduction: In this assignment i will be explaining my own views and attitude againt diversity, and how it could impact on work with young children and young people. Assessment Criteria 2.3 In my own opinion everyone has different kinds of opinions and values than to others. When you work with children from a young age. You start to realize that it's not always needed for you to be aware of them. So say if you act out on these attitudes, it could have a bad effect on the children your working with and other children they might know, and you would not want them to copy your own actions in a result.
learning or physical. Learning disabilities which affect development could be: Autism; autism is a disability which affects how a person relates and communicates with other people and the world around them. Children with autism find it difficult to understand facial expressions or the tone of a voice. They can feel lonely and cut off from society as they avoid social interaction. This could affect their ability to development or interact in social settings or in the classroom.
Recognising and Responding to concerns about Child Development Any concerns that staff may have about the development of children and young people should be reported. Recognising concern, allows staff /carers to intervene and help the child, and inform the parents of the concerns and possible solution for the problem. The quicker the issue is dealt with the better this is for the child’s development. Whereas if a problem is left unresolved or delayed, the more damaging this could be for the child’s development. Difficulty with reading and writing If a child is having problems with reading and writing this could cause concern.
Sometimes this is learned behaviour from home and is hard for young children to understand that you are telling them it is not okay to call names because of someone’s skin colour or how they look . It is important to be consistent and reinforce that it’s not okay and it is very upsetting and hurtful. How would they feel if they were left out. We need to teach our children empathy from an early age and to respect each other regardless of race, age, gender, how we look, where were from. 2.2 Any form of prejudice and discrimination can have a severe negative effect throughout a person’s life.
LD210: Introductory awareness of autistic spectrum conditions 1.1. Describe the types of difficulty that individuals with an autistic spectrum condition may have with language and other ways of communicating with others. 1.2. Identify problems that individuals with an autistic spectrum condition may have in social interaction and relationships. 1.3.
Is there a child who seems to always be left out of group play? This would also be an indicator of a child possibly being “othered”. After the initial observations of a child being “othered” it would be important to identify exactly how or why the situation is occurring before entirely deciding on a course of action. Is is occurring because the child has difficulties reading aloud? If yes, several reactions need to occur.
Task: Complete the table to cover Assessment Criteria 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 Candidates will complete the table below, giving THREE examples of transitions that affect MOST children and young people and THREE examples of transitions that affect SOME children and young people. With all examples, show how the transition may affect their behaviour and development. Transition experienced by MOST children and young people Example of possible effect on children and young people’s behaviour and development 1. Starting School Starting nursery ,school or even college is a big transition for a child/young person some children are not used to being around other children so may begin to attention seek , throw tantrums or show aggression towards others however starting school can have a positive impact as it can teach a child to be independent. Another example could be a language barrier between the child and their peers making the child feel isolated so all four types of development can affect the child when starting school.
Students have difficulties in vocabulary, retrieving a word when needed, understanding multiple meanings, and figurative language. Students may also struggle with phonological processes matching symbols to the sounds they represent. It is possible to exhibit significant difficulties fitting into social settings due to difficulties in language. Language disorders are usually identified using standardized tests and the observations of those with whom the child interacts. Speech disorders may be identified using an articulation test.
Donna Whittington This assignment will consist of strategies on how to deal with disagreements between children and young people. The areas I will be covering are negotiation, the restorative justice programme and acknowledging their own feelings and others around them. Dealing with young children can be challenging. Quite often children use physical methods to express their feelings during disagreements. Allowing children to understand and acknowledge their own feelings and others around them helps the child with resolving issues.
Language can also be a barrier; if you both do not speak the same language communication could become difficult. Distractions such as noise and things happening nearby can become a barrier especially for young children. Personal situations such as problems at home can create a barrier for both children and parents. 3.4 Identify sources of information and support of services to enable more effective communication. Sometimes help will be needed to help support and meet an individual’s needs.
