Outcome 1.1
Positive relationships with children are important as it can help with their confidence and happiness. It also makes them feel comfortable and better able to separate from their parents without experiencing any anxiety.
If children are made to feel secure emotionally they are more likely to participate in activities and talk to us should any problems arise or they just feel the need to talk.
As we get to know an individual child we can better understand their personality and needs. We can respond to children more effectively as we get to recognise their expressions and emotions. This helps us to see how they are progressing with their development and adjust any activities to meet their needs and help them progress.
Good relationships are important for a child's well being. It is essential to be a good listener as this can help them connect and in turn help develop their own language skills if they feel at ease connecting with you.
A child's behaviour can be improved if we can recognise and meet their needs. If we can communicate in a positive and gentle manner they are more likely to open up to us instead of behaving badly.
It is important to be fair and consistent to maintain their trust and respect. Children must see that we can keep our word in order to trust us. We must be willing to give them attention when needed as our behaviour and time can affect their well being.
If a child feels they can communicate with you and believe that you will listen and help if needed they are more likely to share any problems and respect your decisions and judgment should any disagreements or problems arise.
