I liked the ideas of using a behavior chart. Noticing how a child is behaving and labeling that childs behavior and what emotion they are exuding and then working through how the child can feel better. Breathing exercises and the stuffed animals on the tummy is a great tool to use to show children how breathing can calm them and make them feel content again.

I think in times like that I would turn to my support systems, speak to my coworkers or supervisor, my friends and family, maybe even a therapists if I need to heal from trauma from my own past if it comes up. Taking deep breaths or a timeout in the moment might be helpful, and taking time to do the things that I enjoy when I get home are also good ways to help cope.

listening to children when they are confiding in you and creating a trustworthy relationship. Comforting them and giving them positive feedback. one on one time is a big thing tat can help.

Ways that I reduce my stress while at work is breathing or seeing if I can step away for a moment. depending on what I am doing, if I change directions and work on another activity and come back to what was frustrating for me after I calmed down it is much more helpful. After a stressful day I like to relax and read as well.

paying attention to children in a group setting and one on one is important. returning their serve and being active and engaging with the child. Active listening is also extremely important

yes, I think they would be helpful at any given time wether there is a new employee who needs reminders or if there is an event or incident that hasn’t occurred in awhile

single level crib, bassinet, or pack’n play. of course, nothing in the crib other than the baby, for safe sleep practices.

After building trust with the child, I think it is important to not only have developmentally appropriate toys but activities and a wide array of things to do throughout the day. Spending time outside, singing songs, dancing, reading, coloring, and painting are all ways to create a developmentally fun and active classroom.

you make healthy habits fun. you could create a game or song or even dance. Show the child that you are doing it as well. children learn by copying and if they see you doing something most likely they will want to do it too.

I would invite them in and show them around the classroom. We would look at the activities provided and I could point out safety protocols involving the use of water, food etc. I would also show them the exit and the outdoor areas. And answer any and all questions that they have.

as a mandated reporter I would have to call and report the child abuse
-
my biggest worries is that something happens to a child under my care, I.e they choke or break a bone. I would feel responsible and scared in the moment. I would also be scared if I lost a child.

the advice I have for creating and maintaining a good relationship with children’s parents is to always be welcoming, be friendly and continue to be that way every day. to have open and positive communication about their child as much as possible, and to keep the parent aware of opportunities and what their child will be learning. It is also important for you to gain trust so that if you need to bring up a concern, the parents feel as though you are knowledgeable and trustworthy. It is also important not to blame parents and let them know that they are their child’s teacher first and are the mostt important piece to their learning and development.

My child is actually going to be enrolled at my place of employment. Three things that I would want for him is for him to get the time and attention he needs from the provider, I would also want the provider to have a good relationship with my son so that he feels confident and secure with the teacher, and I also would want the provider to keep me informed and included in what he is learning and if they notice that he needs help or if he is advanced.

asking questions about the world around them is extremely important in helping children to engage. We can ask them what is happening or what happens, we can ask their opinions or tell them facts
