Some of the best ways to help children recognize their emotions and control their responses are through body check. Start this regularly and as needed. When the caregiver started noticing the signs of frustration, she has to label it to the child and explain how she knows that she’s frustrated like telling the child that his shoulders are hunched and his fists are clenched, so it’s pretty obvious that he is frustrated right now. Over time, the child will learn to identify these signs of frustrations without the cues of the caregiver.

I would do my best to stay calm and think positive. I’ll think of happy thoughts and remember my own personal gifts, lucks, treasures, and love ones. I would also remind myself of how good and blessed I am and I would appreciate and love myself and my positive experiences in life.

Palm Tree analogy is like bending and being flexible but it never breaks no matter how hard the storm is. Some examples of responsive exchanges in everyday interactions with children includes, comforting a crying child by kneeling down to the child’s level, offer a hug and calming the down, one more example is solving a problem together by playing games or in any daily activities, another example is active listening where you spare your full attention to the child whenever the child wants to share something.

I just recently learned about the Quick Calm technique from this module.First, take a deep breath, then hold your breathe for about 3-4 seconds, then think or tell yourself “I am Warm”, Exhale, and then tell yourself “I am calm”. I personally tried it and it actually really helps.

My advice to other Early Learning Providers who want to build connections with children in their classroom starts from knowing your student’s background. Then positive daily interactions like greeting each child by their name, offer genuine, descriptive praise, get on their level when talking, actively listen to what they say, join their play, create a routine, share stories and experiences, and collaborate with families.

Written guidance policies would be useful in a childcare program for staff consistency and training, for parent and family communication, for health and safety protocols, and for program compliance and operations.

In creating a developmentally appropriate, fun, and physically active classroom, you should have appropriate fun games, songs and dances, equipment, materials and activities that can help children engaged into the session.

We can make healthy habits fun by incorporating games, singing, dancing into it. Kids are more likely interested into doing their routine when there’s no pressure and they experience fun by doing it.

If I was giving a prospective parent a tour through a program, I would highlight the safety procedures about fire safety, secured, clean and comfortable children room, dining area, play spaces, sleeping area, bathroom, and classroom and of course I will also highlight the excellence of the caregivers.

If you suspect a child is a victim of abuse or neglect, what are your next steps? You must contact CPS if you even suspect that certain injuries or bruises may be accidental. You must contact CPS if you see signs of emotional or sexual abuse or physical neglect. Even if you have made a report to CPS about a particular child earlier, you must report each new injury or incident. Do not attempt to interview the child or to manage the situation yourself. Both interviewing and investigating are the responsibility of CPS. As a caregiver, you are a mandated reporter. This means you are required by Washington State law to report suspected cases of child abuse and neglect. If you suspect child abuse or neglect call 1-866-ENDHARM. The ENDHARM intake line is answered by trained staff who can discuss your concerns.

My biggest worry about keeping children healthy and safe is whenever they are not with me or far from my reach. I worry about the safety in their environment they are in such as bullying, any form of abuse, neglect from the staff, or even the public crimes around us.

My advice for creating and maintaining a good partnership between caregivers / parents and childcare providers is a positive and open communication. Caregivers need to listen to parents, seek to understand their goals and preferences for their children and respect cultural and family differences. Build collaborative partnerships based on respect and trust. Once trust is established, a positive relationship can deepen into one of shared decision-making, paving the way for positive conflict resolution and lasting partnership.

If I’m a parent of a young child, the three things I want most from my child’s provider are: Safety, Meeting my child’s Needs, and my child’s sense of belonging. My three fears would be, the opposite of what I mentioned earlier. Unsafe environment, not tending to my child’s needs, and my child’s feeling of insecurity and being bullied by providers and classmates.

Creative ways to get children engaged in active, meaningful learning are by asking meaningful questions and adding information to extend children’s learning. Meaningful questions invite children to wonder, and to respond with more than a simple “yes” or “no.” Questions can help them learn to solve problems and think critically about what they are engaged in. This also allows the child to begin to problem solve, think creatively and engage more fully in their environment
