Dressing Appropraitely-
To be a good role model for young children in a school setting, i think it's very important to dress appropriately. When i'm at my placement i wear my college T-shirt to make it clear to staff and parents that i'm not a member of staff and that i am only a student. It is very important that parents know that i am only a student, as they will know not to tell me any information or details that could put me in a uncomfortable situation.I always make sure your hair is tied up to prevent any accidents that may happen, you should also make sure your make-up looks natural as you will look more friendly to the children and it will show you respect the schools rules. Dressing appropriately makes you more approachable to the children than someone with lots of make-up on.
Using Positive Language -
It is very important to use good and positive language around young children. while children are young they can copy most things you say to them so you need them to be copying positive language. using good and positive language around children can teach them about good manners, you teach good language through communicating with the children, by having conversations and doing different activities with them. While i'm on my placement i am always hearing the children say something i had said to them earlier on, this made me realise how quickly they pick up on things you say to them. I now know to keep using good and positive language to and around the children to encourage them to do the same.
Being Helpful -
Being helpful is a great way to be a good role model. When i'm on my placement i am always asking my supervisors if i can help out with anything around the classroom. If there is ever a time that i have nothing to do or i'm not sure what i'm meant to be doing i always ask if i can join in with the activities that they are doing. I think

    Children need to have role models, they need to understand that these people eg.teachers , classroom assistants or school principles must be listened too, respected and obeyed. Communicating clearly with children (either giving orders or simply praising them) helps to establish this, and in return, hopefully you will built trust and respect. This is vital if a child needs to confide in us regarding aspects of their life which may be troubling them. Eg bullying, family life or maybe having negative feeling.…

    The principles of relationship building with children and adults in any context are that others can be comfortable in our company; people will be more likely to communicate effectively. Whereas if there are respect and trust issues people are less likely to be open to communication and tend to avoid each other. It is important to understand how to speak appropriately. In the case of a child you would need to take into consideration the child’s age level, cognitive level or language ability. For example, while speaking to a child that has English as an additional language, you would need to speak slower, with lots of annunciation, facial expressions and gestures. To assure them that they have your full attention, repetition of what they have said is sometimes needed and always be sure to praise them.…

If the children are being noisy or doing something you don’t agree with you need to use a firm voice to communicate your disagreement with what they are doing and then tell them what they need to be doing.

    E1. There are many responsibilities that practitioners have when maintaining professional relationships and one of these is to respect the views of parents and children. One of these responsibilities is to respect the views of parents and children; this is so that both parents and children know that they have a secure relationship with the practitioner but a relationship that stays within the setting which means that practitioners should be friendly but not friends. Another responsibility that practitioners have is to communicate effectively with parents, children and colleagues; this is to ensure that practitioners talk to everyone in a professional and non-judgemental way; this is to also show everyone that they respect that person. Maintaining confidentiality is another responsibility that practitioners have when maintaining professional relationships this is to ensure that no personal or important information gets said to the wrong people and even if you are talking to a parent or a colleague you need to keep some things confidential. One other responsibility that practitioners have when maintaining professional relationships is to ensure that children’s safety is not at risk; this could be something as simple as keeping doors and gates locked and carrying out regular risk assessments to ensure that no children in the setting get hurt. This will also satisfy parents as they know that their child is safe at all times and allows them to communicate effectively with practitioners.…

    My chosen Professional that works with children is a counsellor. This is a type of therapy in which a child may speak to an adult in confidence. A counsellor is trained to listen and try to encourage the patient to do better in that certain area. Counselling helps to overcome a traumatic experience or helps the child think in a better frame of mind, although the counsellor will not give the patient advice; but will make the patient think of ways to help the situation themselves.
