I used the good communication skills with the another nursing staff to get Mark into the bath safely. I encouraged Mark to do as much for himself as he is able as this promotes his self-esteem (Roper et al 1996). I communicate to Mark to find out whether he uses soap, bubble bath and if he would like his hair washed today. When I was bathing him under the supervision, it was a good opportunity for me to assess his skin condition, as he may be more at risk from developing
How to Change a Baby’s Diaper Changing a baby’s diaper can be easy with all the right materials close by. First you will need to get a clean diaper, wipes, diaper cream, diaper changing mat, gloves, and a small plastic bag.

After you have finished that task, you will take the wipes and wipe down the area with the wipes until clean. Then, take the clean diaper and lift the child’s bottom up to put the back of the diaper underneath and between the child’s legs to cover the child’s private areas.
[pic] The purpose of this assignment is to ensure the health, safety and well-being of children in a childcare setting. We have to consider the welfare of every child who will be under our care once we are working in a childcare setting. To be an effective ECCE worker it is essential that I master the skills of nappy changing, bathing a baby and other personal care routines. ECCE settings aim to meet children’s basic needs. Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs (Maslow 1954) can be useful in planning to meet these needs for the children in our service.
I was a positive role model when I told all of the children about the importance of washing hands before they eat their fruit at playtime or lunch at dinner time. Me and my placement supervisor encouraged the children to wash their hands before playtime and at the start and end of lunchtime. This is encouraging the child to have a good sense of personal hygiene. Manners and being polite. 3.
As one touches people, surfaces, and objects throughout the day, germs accumulate on ones hands. We have always been taught to wash our hands after using the restroom and before we eat. What about during and after preparing food, treating wounds or caring for a sick person? How about blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing, handling garbage, household chemicals, or anything that could be contaminated or simply shaking hands with someone else? All of these situations call for proper hand washing technique.
The first way I have been a positive role model for children in my setting is with hygiene, I’ve shown this by always washing my hands and encouraging the children to do so as well before eating or after going to the toilet, this is important because it helps develop their independence. Another way I have been a positive role model is by encouraging sharing within the setting, I have shown this by always giving the children a fair chance with any of the toys and telling a child if they take the toy away from another child that they need to give it back and that they can have it when the child is finished playing with it. The next way I have been a positive role model is with dressing appropriately, I show this in the setting by always helping

Being a parent of three, I feel that every child should learn how to be self-dependent, this will prepare them for real life situations in which they may endure. By providing chores, this will teach them life skills that every child should learn. For parents, knowing that their child is able to take care of themselves will keep them less worried when they are away from home or when the time comes for the child to go off to college or move out. For me, knowing how to do the simple things of washing clothes, washing dishes, or cleaning my room enabled me to teach my children the same values as well. Some parents believe paying children for helping out around the house is redundant.
