I usually ask them how theyre feeling and will start listing emotions and making facial expressions that match to help them find the one they best identify with then we work on a plan to help release those emotions and find something soothing to do.

i ask my co teachers and a trusted admin team member for advice and how i can better approach or handle the situation or similar situations

[Bri Bri La Paille]

asking questions, i forgot what the technique specifically was called but in an earlier module we learned about and discussed saying out loud everything the child is doing, it allows us to connect to the child as well as the child connect better to the activity their doing as well as connecting the language to what theyre doing.

just stepping out for 4-5 minutes sometimes can make a world of a difference, when i start feeling myself getting excessively overwhelmed i will let my co teachers know hey i need a few and will step out get some fresh air sip some water recollect myself and come back in, its ok to need a few minutes to reset sometimes were human, and were working with children and teaching them how to express their emotions, thus we are taking them in too, your not a bad teacher, and you didnt fail your students if you need a few minutes its totally ok!

i would advise them to be patient, not to feel bad if they initially dnt connect with a child or attempt to force it. some kids just take time to feel comfortable and open up, take time to learn what the child likes and dislikes, not just objects but approaches, the way you speak, the words you use, pay attention to their temperament and try to approach them accordingly.

the guidance policies arent just useful but essential is certain circumstances such evacuation, handling severe injuries or illnesses, intruders, following guided policies in these instances can save a life.

Recently my class has taken a new approach on this! My co teachers and I hav e bagn to incorporate movement as much as possible. At the end of circle time, or durring any transition well play some music and either dance and “exercise” around the classroom or work on a task as a team.

create fun songs or find fun songs that relate that will keep the child or children engaged

I would highlight how we practice everday skills, washing hands after every activity ass someone else mentioned, learning how to problem solve, picking up after themselves and transitioning into the next activity for the day, these are all life skills that will hopefully stick with them well, for life and i think its important the families and parents know yes we are teaching them cirriculum, and giving them time to play, but we also ensure throughout the day we take every opportunity possible to put those life skills to practice.

immediately report it, as a victim of child abuse myself i understand that theres no room for doubt or second guessing, better than to have made an honest mistake than risk a child loosing their life.

my biggest worry about keeping children healthy and safe is doing something thinking it is benificial for the child and it somehow harming or affecting them negatively instead

[Bri Bri La Paille]

to be open and communicative. ask questions, ask how you can show your support, and if there are any things you should be aware of or that the families would like for you to practice or work on with the child at school as they do at home

If i were a parent and was leaving my child with a childcare provider the three things i would want most or expect would be, 1. a stimulating environment / experience, 2. their safety prioritized not above other children but all the childrens safety prioritized over anything else, 3. and a personal connection to my child and to each child in the classroom. that to me shows that this provider genuinely loves their job and takes the time and effort to help my child suceed. 3 fears i would most likely have would be my child being neglected, no mental stimulation or challenges causing regression or simply stunting my childs development, and my child becoming traumatized from an experience or even someting that may be apart of the daily routine that may later cause outburts or triggers that need to be avoided at home.

being attentive to every childs needs and how to approach each child as well as making them all feel safe to grow and develop
