If we go and show bad attitude and show that we are negative to certain people around them. Then we could make children to be the same way, which is not a good example to them as young children don’t know the differences between right and wrong. As a teaching assistant it is my duty and responsibility to respect the children with there needs and accept them for who they are. The way I can do this is if I think about my own beliefs and opinions so I can learn not to judge others on the basis of their race, gender or religion etc. In my line
Explain the term ‘confidentiality’ 1. Confidentiality means being told something in confidence, not sharing information about people/children without their knowledge and agreement, and ensuring that written and electronic information cannot be accessed or read by people who have no reason to see it. Confidentiality is important because: • Children may not trust a teacher/support worker who does not keep information confidential, this could cause the child to feel upset if they knew the teacher/support worker told others about the child problem, it could also make the child not trust in the teacher/support worker and the child could keep other things to their self that need to be sorted out. • Children may not feel valued or able
For example a disabled child may be restricted in play at home because of parental concern that the child could hurt themselves. In a well-controlled setting the child can be encouraged to explore and try out new skills. Children are usually very good at deciding what is safe or not. Using large play equipment is a good example of how children asses and manage risks. In the outdoor area in Foundation Stage there is a climbing wall where I believe that the children should use with caution but also given the chance to decide whatever they can get over without hurting themselves or not, thus they are assessing and managing their own risk.
When the child breaks these boundaries, he or she should be punished. A spanking should come in response to disobedience. The child should not be spanked for making mistakes or accidents, such as wetting his bed or breaking something, only for challenging the parent's position. Second of all, spanking should be a planned action, not a reaction. A child should not be spanked out of anger, but out of love.
Although these are not physical disabilities, they are mental disabilities, which are just as significant. To help cope with depression, the dogs administer unconditional love, sustain the person’s ability to stay connected to the world, show responsibility for their well being, and sense when a human is going to have a panic attack. Colleen Demling, a certified behaviorist, says, “The mere presence or non-reaction to a stimulus of a trusted companion often calms an attack.” Additionally, the article incorporates data from a study of a Lead Warrior Trainer for K9s For Warriors, Matt Masingill. He suffered from PTSD, which gave him 248 nightmares in 270 days. The article touches on how his service dog woke him up after everyone to break the habit of those dreams, causing Matt to live a happier and healthier life.
Avoiding all risks and challenge would result in a very timid adult lacking in many everyday skills and abilities. It would be very easy to respond to all risks to which children are exposed by not allowing them to explore or experiment. Children need to explore their environment – it is one of the ways in which they learn – but it needs to be a ‘safe’ environment where risk is controlled by adults. It is important that children are given the freedom to develop their skills, with adult support but not too much intervention. Understanding the stage of development a child is at and their individual needs can help you to provide the right amount of risk in activities, for example children under the age of 8 cannot safely judge the speed or distance of a car on the road, so a child under the age of 8 should never be allowed to cross the road alone.
Children should be given the chance to explore new risks, not to put them in danger, but to help them with their confidence. If children are exposed to risks while they’re growing up, they will be shown how to handle them. Some people may argue that the children taking risk can have a positive impact on children’s development and their needs. On the other hand, some may say exposing risks to children can be very dangerous and should be removed but in my opinion, if they aren’t exposed to risks, they will not be prepared for risks later in life and will not know how to take control of the situation. Yes, children may get hurt a little whilst exploring these risks but they will then learn how to avoid this hazard and keep safe in the future.An example from my setting is telling a child not to touch the radiator because it will be hot.
I believe that there is no right or wrong way to discipline a child, but there is a right and wrong way to behave. Some children do not need as much discipline as the next child. It is the parent’s job to access what their child needs. I believe in spanking my children in the respect I was, along with
Spanking and other types of corporal punishment tend to make children rebel. In contrast to other corrective methods that will easily teach them a valuable lesson. Children don’t think prudently like adults do. However, they do have a sense of fairness which doesn’t help when punishment is being issued. For the reason that the child may realize that he or she is being mistreated and unloved when punished.
Children who are lacking in confidence or are depressed may lack in motivation and will therefore not try out new skills. In my setting, if this is the case we will try to motivate the child, or if there is something more to it we try to find out why the child is feeling depressed, and get to the route of the problem. Another factor could be physical reasons, some children’s developmental plan could affected by their genetic code, this may mean that they are slow to develop in many areas for no specific reason. Children’s development could also be slowed down by difficulties in physical growth. In this cases in my setting we would try and encourage the child and meet that child’s individual needs by not pushing them to do the tasks of a more developed child.
