Respecting a Child
Respecting and Valuing Children
What is a value? Value is the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance; worth or usefulness of something, principles or standards of behaviour, judgement of what is important in life. Value is what: We are appreciated Is important for us We are respect everyone We believe We care about humans
Children are like adults. We watch and analyse what is good and bad behaviour. As a child doesn’t have knowledge of what is good or bad they are copying whatever they see or witness in any environment they live. So it is not just parents or any childcare workers responsibility how the child is behaving. It’s everything what is around them. They are learning how to value other things from the people around them. All adults have responsibilities in moral behaviour of children to be respected as individual because they are human beings. We as adults want to be respected in the same way as children having rights to be respect. However we will behave, treat, show emotions or care for other children they will try to do the same. If we respect children that would make them feel better, this means they will be happier and keen to learn new things and behave better.
2) Whenever we are communicating or talking to children we need to ensure that we: Listen to them; make them feel that what they are saying is really important for us. Always making eye contact; it would make them fell valued because we will showed that it’s interesting what they say. Voice tones; the way we speak can show children whether we like them or not. Showing an interest; whether we playing or doing any activities with them. Playing with children; is a way of valuing them. Make them choose what and how they want to play. Be on the same level as the child. Praise child when he or she does a job or task well. Body language that shows respect. Use easy, clear and respectful language.
