The importance of routines and how it meets children's emotional needs- Routines are very important for young children as it makes them settle in the setting better and helps them more too get used too everything. Children like too have a structured day where they know what too expect during their day. Routines makes the day flow better for all and more organised makes the environment more relaxed which will make the children more content, which may make their behaviour more positive throughout the day as they will want too play nicely with their friends. Routines make it better for staff too as having set times things are done means things are less likely too be forgotten about. When things happen everyday at the same times it makes children …show more content…
If the child goes into the garden for example they can have the freedom and choice too run around whereas inside when during quieter times they cant. So it gives them the opportunity to do things they cant do during the quiet sessions so they can begin to learn different rules for physical and quiet periods and things they can and cant do for both. Children also need to exercise their muscles and burn off calories. On the other hand, they also need quiet periods too wind down for meal times, activity times or bed times etc. Too relax and calm them down. Also so when doing activities they can concentrate on some learning time for example drawing, or writing or discussing things for example talking about shapes or numbers. So effectively they have time too play physically as they wish and also sit quietly and focus on something potentially educational for example or play on a different level to as they would outside or when doing something more …show more content…
Nappy changing, going toilet and mealtimes. Helping the children with these essential needs makes the child feel comfort, supported and reassured. We support these needs by having set and regular times that they have to be done by and keeping records of what they have eaten throughout day too inform parents and what there nappies were for each change. Its important to have set times and keeping too the routine making sure it is consistent for example at the setting we do nappies at 9, at 11 before dinner and sleep time (for some children) 2, when those children are waking and 4 after tea, and before children start going home. We also have to check nappies every half an hour and if necessary we need t change any child who has soiled before they must be change regardless. When taking children to the toilet it is important to take a group of children because this may encourage children to go more seeing others doing it and they may feel not alone and more comfortable having others company. We also have too ask children who are toileting every half hour if they need to go to prevent accidents. Once children have finished its important too encourage child to empty/clean potty or flush toilet then illiterate how important it is too wash/dry hands too prevent bacteria. Furthermore, having routines at mealtimes is vital for example dinner is same time everyday so children can
There are so many things I learned in this course that applies to working with infants, toddlers and two year olds and their parents. One of the things I specifically learned was how important routines are younger kids. I knew daycares always had routines and the teachers would try their hardest to follow them, but I didn’t realize how beneficial it was for the children. Routines are needed for infants, toddlers and two years old because it helps them improve their self-discipline skills along with giving them a sense of security. Another thing I learned was how important it is to build a relationship with the parents of the children you work with. This is important because the parents are the ones who knows the kids best, so if the child is having difficulty with something, the parents could provide
When kids are getting their necessary period of interrupted play it has great benefits in the classroom helping their cognitive skills to grow. As children get to play at regular intervals through out the day, they children are able to diminish stress and other types of distractions so when they sit down they are more attentive and productive.
All physical contact with the children should ideally be avoided but in some situations this is not avoidable. E.g young children sometimes need a hug if they have hurt themselves, and at times the children will make physical contact an adult without warning. In these situations the adult should be aware of where they are and who is nearby. The adult should aim to never be left alone with a child (although in some situations this may be unavoidable such as personal care) and if they are the adult must go to lengths to protect themselves, such as leaving the doors open, telling other member of staff where and why they are going to be alone with a child. Ensuring they are observed from another adult if possible, even if at a distance. Any physical contact with a child should always be as a response to the child initiating it.
Both the brain and the body grow according to various biological and social factors. Therefore, a child’s home life and social life must have a positive influence on their lives. During early childhood, well-nourished children are expected to grow about four inches and 4.5 pounds per year (p. 208). Children lack a sense of preservation within this time period of their lives. As a teacher, one must realize that students can become easily distracted. They will not be able to keep their minds fully focused on one task for a long time, so teachers must create a variety of activities to overcome this issue. They also lack impulse control, which means that they have to be constantly moving around. This is why some students during early childhood have difficulty sitting still. It is suggested that teachers give students various times throughout the day to get their energy out of their systems, so that they can focus more easily. However, if a student is swinging their legs in their seat then they should be allowed to do this. As long as they are not bothering anyone, then theorists recommend that teachers allow
Displaying good behavior throughout the potty training process is important in achieving success. Whether it is the mother to the daughter or the father to the son, tolerance cannot be stressed enough. Ensure that when communicating with the child, that the instructions are slow, clear and concise to their level of understanding. It is also important not to forget the age difference dur...
We also have a visitors policy where all staff and visitors are recorded . When signing children in and out we make sure there are always two members of staff at the front door. In my setting we also encourage children not to put up with any behaviour from the adults or children that makes them feel threatened. We give them an opportunity to learn that no one has the right to do anything with them that makes them feel uncomfortable. We also promote this by talking about PANTS. We also have our confidentiality policy. We make sure every staff member has a clear understanding of the meaning of maintaining confidentiality. In my setting all parents have a very good bond with all staff members and all parents are aware that their family will be treated with confidence. No information is shared without their agreement except in the case of safeguarding children. All information is locked away in a filing cabinet. We follow the Children Act 1989 and 2000 by making sure children are safe from abuse and neglect. All staff members are able to recognise the signs of abuse and know how to report it. We always ensure the child’s voice is heard. We make sure children are enable to put across their views and ensure their rights are
The "routine activities theory" is a theory that explains why crime occurs on a daily basis. According to the approach, crime occurs in the presence of three different elements. These elements include, a suitable target, lack of a guardian, and a motivated offender. If one of these elements is no longer in the picture, then chances for crime drops. (Argun, U. 2016)
I personally agree with the second author. Organized activities are important in child development, helping them grow into responsible, hard working adults, and having strong sense of identity and pride.
Many people support scheduled activities with the belief that it will teach important charactar traits such as commitment, teamwork and dedication. This is most likely true, but the implication that children who do not participate in these activities do not obtain those very same traits is simply false. All interactions with other children and adults will teach social cues and values that will allow for a sense of responsibility and obligation to fufill the expectations set each individual. The difference is in whether the children feel obligated to do something because an adult or set of rules told them, as they would learn in sports, music lessons, or scout meetings, or if these children feel obligated to be productive and complete something because they themselves want to or because its the right thing to do. This ability to self-motivate and create one's moral code is something that can only be brought about by having free time to not only play but also to make mistakes and learn from
The field of criminology and victimology is guided by explicit theories that are formulated and developed over time. I have chosen two theories I would like to discuss. Routine Activity Theory and the Lifestyle Theory have played a leading role in making individuals victims of crime. These individuals are not influenced in just the same way; but one of which is certain in similarity is the result, which happens to be crime. In the essay below, the two theories will be compared in relation to how they influence behavior and lead individuals to crime.
The routine activities theory of crime, developed by Cohen and Felson, focuses on the events of a crime and the relation of factors that led to the causation of the crime or suitable targets (Miro, 2014). Moreover, the theory shifts attention from the offender to the opportunities for crime presented by everyday routines (Osgood, Wilson, O’Malley, Bachman, Johnston, 1996). Therefore, instead on searching for an offender’s motive, factors such as the absence of a guardian, social change, or vulnerability, contribute to the explanation of the crime.
Child sexual abuse is a serious and treacherous offence. The World Health Organization defines child sexual abuse as any sexual activity which the child does not comprehend and so, is unable to give informed consent. The Canadian Family Violence Law’s definition of child sexual abuse is any activity in which an offender uses a child for sexual purposes. The child maltreatment section under Health Canada states that child sexual abuse activities include fondling, intercourse, incest, sodomy, exhibitionism, and commercial exploitation through prostitution. It is no doubt that child sexual abuse is a crime throughout the world. However, slight emphasis is given to the causes of this crime. The goal of this essay is to give an intricate understanding
thinking, acting and feeling. Our routine life plays a major role in the building of these characteristics. According to the psychologists, the human personality develops from the skirmish between desire and restraint. Ego is the component of the personality which cannot be ignored. In order to respond to the real world, a child develops ego. As the personality develops further, children start dealing with the threatening and the harsh realities of the real world. It is the everyday life and experiences which shape up the whole personality of a child (Myers & DeWall, N.D).
The modernized world has changed people’s perception on how they look at break time or playtime. Many people fail to give importance on break time or playtime in primary school. Thus, the duration given for playtime in primary school level has eventually reduced down the years. The NF (2014) states that ‘school breaktimes are getting shorter despite pupils and teachers recognizing them as an important opportunity for physical exercise and socializing’. Rochman (2012) mentioned that ‘playtime can be as important as class time for helping students perform their best’. If studying is claimed to be important and is the main focus at primary school level, playtime is equally important too as playtime is the duration where children gets the opportunity to develop various skills.
Simple things in a day like making sure infants are getting a nutritious meal and toddlers are getting plenty of physical activity can make a difference in how they develop. To accommodate all toddlers during activities is just making sure you are accommodating all types of learners through visual, auditory, and physical examples! By asking a child to kick a ball you are promoting their muscle development through auditory commands which is maybe how the child learns best. These different learning styles also make sure that all the children are engaged in the activity. As for nutritious accommodations an educator needs to see that all the infants are fed and chart how much the child is eating every time they are fed for the mother if they are bottle
