The best way to help children recognize their emotions and control their responses is by letting them speak without interruption, or to let them cry it out so they can let it all out then they can calm down and breath. You can ask them why this upset them or show them what they can do instead of lashing out on something or crying it out.

Have good communication with you peers and have a good self coping strategy

Engaging in conversation with the child to let them know you were listening. Do fun activities with them that you both might enjoy.

Taking deep breaths to calm yourself, listening to music, or drawing

Spend time with the child. Talk to them and take interest in their interests. Do fun activities with them

I would report it to the lead teacher and tell them everything i noticed and what made me suspect child abuse.

My biggest worry is the child will get hurt while in my care and i won’t be able to help them properly because i’m too scared i’ll hurt them more.

Always be welcoming and ask them how they’re doing. Talk to them about their child and let them know how the child is doing. Tell them your concerns about the child and ask them if they have any questions about what brought you to this conclusion. Don’t be condescending.

If i were the parent to a young child, three things i would want my child’s provider to do is

Engage with the children by asking them questions while they’re doing activities, get down on their level and get to know the child. Encourage the child to participate in circle time and encourage them to engage with the other children.

Ask the children what they would like to do that day and create the schedule with the children with the activities that they would like to do, snack time, and nap time. Make it fun for the children. I would make a wheel.

Having a safe and clean environment where children can feel welcomed and happy. Welcoming everyone with a smile.

First i would prepare myself by writing down what i would like to say to the parent, and practice with a coworker and have them give me responses that the parent might give. Then when i see the parent ask to speak to them privately and tell them that you would like to have a developmental screening for their child. I would provide documents…

Observing and documenting a child’s development help early learning providers because all children develop at their own pace and we can write down when the child hits the milestones. It can help them understand where the child is at developmentally and how they can help the child.

I think screen time for children older than 2 is fine as long as it is educational and is monitored by the teachers. I think between 30 minutes to an hour is an appropriate amount of screen time.

I think early learning providers can create a serve and return environment in their classroom by having a fun activity such as finger painting or music time.

The first thing i would do is remind Mrs.Hopkins that this was the third time in 2 weeks she was late to pick up her child, i would ask her if everything was okay at home or work. I would remind her that arriving to pick up her child is very important not just to the staff, but to her child as well. Her child now waits for his mother to pick…
