I think letting the child speak and express exactly how they are feeling in their own words gives them time to feel heard and also gives you an opportunity to validate those feels and give recommendations.

I would say always acknowledging the child and show them you are listening, if you are busy tell them that and tell them when you will be able to listen to them. You should also play and speak the the children and eye level, this will make a more comfortable experience

I would say it’s all about one on one times and taking the time to truly get to know your kids. You can find out their likes,dislikes, and triggers for example. This information will better help you understand the child and give you a better idea on how to handle certain situations with each child individually on their level.

Some things I Really enjoy doing is shaking out our bodies to get rid of some of the wiggles. We also like to do small prizes and rewards for positive behavior. This in very encouraging for them. I also really like to do body moving games such as moving in slow motion then as fast as you can for example.

I think the best way to make healthy habits fun is to incorporate them into a game of something that the children enjoy doing. This why they will attribute those fun feelings towards said practices.

MemberFebruary 17, 2023 at 6:40 am in reply to: Trainer Monitored Discussion – Discuss Safety ProceduresI think I would start with all our emergency and health procedures. I would show them all emergency exits and routes for the rooms, and how often we practice these skills. I would then show them things such as our masking policy and hand washing, to provide to comfortability.

MemberFebruary 17, 2023 at 6:37 am in reply to: What would you do if you suspected child abuse or neglect?I would definitely go to my higher up first just to verify their personal requirements. I would do this to make sure I was also covered in the situation. I would then either way report my worries to the state child protective services. I think this way you fulfill your work requirements and your requirements as a mandated reporter for the state.

One of my biggest worries would probably have to be in gun violence issue occurring in our nation right now. You can prepare for emergencies but something like that is horrific to have to teach young children and a very scary situation.

It is good to know where to be able to find WAC seeing as I was not exactly sure before.
