Some of the best ways include a feelings/emotions chart. Children can be taught breathing techniques or simple stretching and yoga that could help them release the overwhelming emotions.

Some examples of responsive exchanges include playing with the kids, meeting/talking to them eye to eye, and listening to what they have to say.

Join them in meals and play. And instead of solving problems for children, support them to get to the conclusion themselves. Them feeling self-confident and secure can help them build secure relationships.

There are children’s songs that involve jumping and when we used to do it when I was little, a lot of the kids are very much involved with the dancing and got a lot of laughter from it. In the mornings, have time to play some relaxing music and show them easy and developmentally appropriate stretching exercises.

Singing can help make healthy habits fun. Also, making it a group activity could help make it more fun and interactive.

I’ll also show them where we keep our first aid that should be easily accessible.

To create and maintain good partnerships with families, we need to acknowledge that they are the primary caregivers. Always work to find a solution when there’s conflict. Remember that the goal is to help the child(ren) succeed, and working together with families is the best way to achieve that.

Inviting them to find out and letting them question, think, reason, and experiment to get to an answer. It helps develop language but also gets their creativity and critical thinking skills working.
