Answer 2

You speak to them using age appropriate language at a level they understand. You remain sensetive,non judgemental and be mindful of your body language,ie; always face them and give eye contact to make them aware that you are listening to what they are saying. Make the enviroment comfortable let your colleague and other young people know that you are having a keywork session and do not want it being interupted, unless in the case of an emergency. Try to build up a good working relationship and trust. Hope this helps.
P.S what unit are you doing.Also use a lot of the words that are in the question and always state that "you " did this and you did that.Because it is about your practice. Good Luck I've just finished mine dont envy you at all. If you get stuck just type in your unit and if I can help I will.

Some children need more special attention than other because of things that are happening in the household. You can just about monitor a child and see how he or she behaves to determine how you can communicate with him or her. Most children that act out are the ones that need the most attention. You show them that you are there for them will help them come around to you better. The attention that you give them is the attention that they don't receive at home. So, you need to pay more attention and they will come around believe me.Just be your best self and it will work out well. Children know if you are real or fake. You think that they don't examine you, but they do.

Answer 4

think about how you felt at different stages of your life, what your family taught you, how you coped with new ideas and how your parents treated you as you grew. every day is a learning day with kids and every single one unique. be open-minded, expect to make mistakes along the way, dont be too hard on yourself when the going gets tough. if you really do want this to be your career, you need to be able to accept failure as well as success.you are very brave to want to go into childcare, its a lot harder now as so much pressure is put on kids to be perfect.the worlds not perfect so why should our kids be? happy,caring people are what the world needs more of.if you can achieve it then in my book you're a star. good luck and keep going, you'll get there.

Answer 5

every ageofchild has different needs that you haveto adapt your manner/explanations to. children aged fromabout 5-8 questionn everything with a why? so you need to have plenty of info for them, younger children just want to have your praise and get on with it, 8-13 need your understanding and need you to listen as much as responding, always show positivebehaviour regardless of age andability, explain clearly what you expect, repeat yourself more for the younger/harder to understand, but do not be patronising with your tone of voice, to develop any kind of relationship requires trust and respect on both sides, work with them and you'll be fine.

Answer 6

our (elders') behaviour towards the kid should be child's need based and its ability based. for ex: when the child is newly born, it has no independent abilities but lot of needs - need to be fed, need to be changed, need to be loved, need to feel secure and it has none of the abilities to independently do all this. hence it is totally depending on us to fulfill its needs. thus a trusting relationship develops.

but as the child grows, it develops its motor, communication, social and cognitive skills and it learns to explore the surroundings and slowly as it grows, it develops many self-hekp skills too. it is at this point of development that elders need to accord it more autonomy to explore and learn by itself, offering help and support only when required thus teaching the child to become self-reliant. this way child develops self confidence and it respects the parents for allowing it the independence and parents too develop confidence in their child's abilities.

unfortunately, many parents over indulge and over protect that makes a child less confident of its abilities and choice making and as he grows up he will not have decision making skill or problem solving skill. and heart in heart he resents his over protective parents for not providing him opportunities to learn by himself. when he becomes an adult, he wants independence, but is not too sure if he can handle the freedom; and parents too become very clingy and not ready to let go that strains their relationship badly.
