Its important that there is trust established in the relationship between you and the child. Offer games to play or activities, and perhaps read books about stress and anxiety to help children learn ways that they can manage those feelings. Make sure that they know that they can come to a teacher if they need support.

Spend lots of time interacting with the children in your care. Let them help plan activities, play with them, talk to them and ask them questions that they can easily answer about the activity they are doing or about the game they are playing with other children.

I think all those need written policies so staff and parents know the steps in which these kids of situations will be handled so there are no surprises, and so easy steps are available to follow and handle situations.

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 can come up with some song, Rhymes and a game to help the kids have fun while learning the healthy habits

MemberFebruary 16, 2025 at 6:25 am in reply to: What would you do if you suspected child abuse or neglect?I would bring it up to my lead teacher to see if it is a viable concern because she has been in the classroom for over 20 years. We would then see if we should escalate it to administration, who would then help us contact CPS. Since I work in a toddler class, I’m not sure if directly asking the child will get us any information.

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.
-
my advice is to keep constant communication with the family, treat them with respect, don’t be judgmental, and also always make sure to communicate the positives and negatives with them.
-
I would want for them to take care of my kids like they were their own, treat them equally and respectfully, teach them things in a safe and comfortable environment that will help them in the process of growing up. my 3 fears are the being hurt, treated differently/unfairly for no valid reason, not being taught knowledgable appropriate things.
