one way to help will be naming the emotion that they are feeling in that moment, creating a safe environment for the child to feel safe to express his emotions, introduce them to cooping mechanisms

Take a breath and later communicate with those around me

Making sure you respond with kindness, helping the children work through their emotions and behaviors.

For right now the only technique that I have will be deep breathing exercises

I would say to really listen to the child, as well as to get closer to them or just paying attention to the child.

Yes, with any emergency, or if a child gets hurt while in their care or even if a child gets sick

single crib with a fitted sheet on mattress or a bassinet

we put songs in which the children do as they say for example when the song says jump they all jump.

You can make it fun especially for younger kids when singing a song or adding a dance

I would highlight all the toys and different activities that the children will be doing as well as showing them around the play area, and show that everything is safe and any hurtful items or any items that are not kid safe is out of reach and away from children’s sight as well.

I would speak or let the lead/main teacher know about what I saw and let them know that If helpful to get more information to speak to the child if they able to communicate back to get more information on what I think about.

One of my biggest fear is not really knowing what can happen when they are in my care.

I would say to have a good communication as well as a good relationship with both parties so caregiver but parents as well, be polite and professional.

If you were the parent of a young child, what three things would you want most from your child’s provider?- Protect them as they are your own- Open communication- Attention and supportWhat are three fears you might have when leaving your child in someone’s care?- Inpatient – Not acknowledging them – Not helping them or ignoring them

Having hands-on activities so they can engage more with the activity, embrace story telling so it can help the visually with the activity.

Having a good daily schedule can help balance out the different activities with the children but can also help with having less stress and less rushing to the activities.

I feel like having a good environment for the children as well as being prepared, having everything well planned, and being welcoming.

I would prepare my self on what I want to explain to the parents, think about the important key points you would like to discuss before having the conversation. Think about different ways that you can help the child but also the parents as well, let the parent have some input on what they are thinking and how they would like to help the child.

Observing and documenting a child’s development can help us learning providers understand the growth of a child. It can help us better understand them and how their development is going.

I think that avoiding screen time for kids especially the younger kids could help them focus more on communicating with others but also help more with socializing. I think only having some screen time for educational videos or rhymes to help them learn.

Creating a “Serve and Return” environment by responding to children’s verbal and no-verbal as well. Also by creating a supportive and engaging community.

I would explain that 20 min can affect the child as they have been the last to leave but also explain how being late can cause anxiety and stress to the child as the child was expecting to be picked up at a certain time.

WAC discusses that “mandates that early learning providers offer culturally and racially diverse learning opportunities” which i feel like it gives us an insight on accepting with no judgement.

I discovered that you have to be licensed by the department to take care of children of the age 12 and younger. I was not surprised as everything is information to help us understand better of the responsibility we are taking. I do see WACs influence my day-to-day as it is important to follow.
