E3 & C1- As Tina Bruce says, “a simple definition of play is hard to come by.” She sees play as a part of a network of development and learning which also includes first hand experience. And Bruce suggests that “play coordinates learning” Children’s play sometimes imitates adult behavior. For instance role-play of mummies and daddies. As a parents you should recognize the value of play with children, they should understand that play is a vital part of children’s lifestyle and is an everyday occurrence, it helps to develop all parts of children learning, for instance games with balls can help to develop children fine and gross motor skills. Parents should ensure that they are able to support their child’s play. For instance by buying correct toys or making toys, for instance making a treasure basket; as thought up and developed by Elinor Goldschmied. The treasure basket helps to develop children’s understand and knowledge of the world as all the toys inside are natural. Parents should also have time to take part in children’s games, for instance they should play dress up with them and let the child lead the game so that they can understand what the child is learning, also so the child can feel as if they are in control, this can help boost the child self-esteem. Playtime with parents will also help the parent to understand fully what they are interested in, where they are in their development and what they are already able to do. Although toys should never be a substitute for parental attention and love, they should still be enabling. Toys for the children should always be suitable and the parent should check this when buying them as for instance, violent computer games can lead to emotional and social problems. Parents should check that the toys are also age appropriate as games that are made for older children, can become frustrating for younger children if they are not able to complete them or play with them properly. Toys should also be safe and parents should ensure that when buying the toys they have the safety marks on them. E4 & E5 & E7 & A1- Communication with parents to children is very important. This is because interaction plays an important part in children’s learning and development. It doesn’t just benefit the children but it also benefits parents too. This is because the parent is able to understand what the child is enjoying, what their interests are and what upsets them. It also helps create a bond between them in which the child can begin to feel safe and secure in what they are telling the parent. The child will also grow in confidence as they will have their opinions listened to. Communication between parents and children should also be appropriate though; negative communication like putting the child down, swearing around or to them will have a negative impact on the child’s life. Communication between practitioner and parents is also important, it will help the parent to understand what is going on with the child at the setting, what the child is good at and what the child could improve on. The parent then will be able to make decisions that have been thought about and even discussed with the child to, as all children have a right to have input when decisions are made on something that will impact their life. And finding a job can lead to a lot of rejection, while for some people this may not be an issue but families that are unemployed or are just having financial problems can lead to even more stress and potentially lead to lack of confidence in themselves.

Practitioners should also communicate with children. This is so they are able to observe and plan for the children according to the children’s interest, which they will be able to find out by communicating with them. The practitioners will be able to find out a lot about the child just by having conversations with them. Practitioners will be able to make the children feel valued and important, this is because if the child says they are interested in a certain area, for instance painting and the practitioner makes up an activity where painting is involved then the child will feel valued and that their views are just important as everybody else, but when talking to children practitioner must ensure that the keep the child’s confidentiality as long as they are not at potential harm Communication helps to support families, as communicating is the most effective way to pass on information and support the families. Providing suitable resources is also important, for instance if a child has a disability then the right type of resources should be available wheelchair accessible Practitioners should also communicate with children.

Practitioners should also be ready to provide information on support they are able to get out of schooling and the setting, for instances if the child has special needs and may need extra tutoring outside of school then the practitioner should be ready to help provide information about where they are able to receive this. Information about out of school groups that parents and the child are able to attend, for instance sure start, mother and toddler groups, the practitioner should be able to let you know what goes on in each session and how it is going to support you. Theses are also some of the way that practitioners are supporting parents and children. Practitioners should also be active and good listeners. They should be able to listen to any families or child’s quires or worries about any subject and do their best to help them in any situation that is possible. The practitioner should not just be listening to what they are saying but should be trying to understand what they are saying and where they are coming from, the practitioner should be able to respond professionally and correctly. The practitioner should never introduce personal feelings, and they should not divert off subject. Practitioners should also support children by ensuring the welfare of them are kept. They should be supportive and listen to child’s views and opinions. Practitioners should ensure that they keep confidentially, as long as the child’s health is not at risk. For instance if you as a parent speaks to a practitioner about a personal problem, they should not be talking to other people about the issue, like telling other families. Practitioner should show children the same kind of respect they show any other person, and they should be safeguarded. For instance a challenging child should never be shaken, slapped, smacked or humiliated not matter what the situation is. On the other hand practitioners also have the responsibility to work with other professional from all different types of agencies. For instance the will be working with people from health and social services, local communities. This will all be to help families that, Accessible toilets, accessible toys, and specialist toys.

This will all be to help families that, Different body language, the child may be acting differently as to how they normally do, this will show that they have something on their mind. For instance a child that is normally bubbly and cheery may be acting enclosed and quiet, which being un-normal for the child will show that they may be experiencing a problem or difficultly. Observations should be don regularly for all children, they may show signs of problems or stress through anything, for instance when doing free play a child may be acting rather violent or aggressive, this can also show signs of stress or problems they may be facing, when painting a child may do dark colours which can show that they have another feeling that they have not spoken about.

Need supporting. Childcare practitioner should always be ready and willing to receive information and support from other professionals when suitable. They should be ready to take in this information so that they are either able to implement it, or pass it on to families where appropriate. E6- There are many different support and information available to parents and families. Sure Start Centre’s- Sure start Centre’s provided a variety of advice for parents and careers, they also provided support where best needed. They are available from pregnancy right up until the child grows older. Each centre is individually decided what they will provide on what supports the local community at best. However there are certain services that they must all provide: children and family health services, including health visitors, breast-feeding support. Advice on parenting, local childcare options that are available, help to find training opportunities, and work opportunities using links such as the local job centres and other facilities. Toy Libraries- Toy libraries are services that are offered to local children, families and careers based on a regular toy loan services for a small fee and occasionally it is even free. Toys are carefully selected, for what age range and suitability it is for the child. Play sessions are available, there are in a friendly and safe environment where children can play and careers are able to interact with each other. Toy libraries are enabling for children because the help children develop, and general knowledge of the world, for instance sharing, playing with others. D1- Practitioner should always be alert to look for signs that adult and children are experiencing problems. For instance when working with children there are many different way in which you will be able to tell that children are having problems. Practitioner can recognize parents and careers experiencing problems in many ways. For instance if they are continuously bringing in the child late this can suggest that there is something going on in the morning preventing the parent from getting the child in on time. The practitioner should then take the right steps to help the parent. When parents come in the parent may seem distressed with their body language or speech, this is another way in which a practitioner can tell that there may be a problem that the parent is not discussing with the practitioner yet. D2- Parents and practitioners are always going to having problems with children’s behaviour at one state or another. This is due to all children going through different stages of life and development. I will show two strategies in which parents and practitioners can help promote positive behavior in children. Good Relationship- Positive behaviour is built on good relationships and effective communication. Children have a desire to seek approval and love from the people they care about. If you can form a proper bond with children this will help them know and understand the boundaries that have been set, for instance when a child is behaving inappropriately they are more likely to respond to you if they have good relationship with you, if they respect and value you. Good relationship with children doesn’t come without the effort. You must ensure you listen to the child on their views and opinions, and involve them in decisions that have to do with them. This is a good structural base for a good relationship. Good relationship also involve positive praise instead of being told of for bad behaviour they should be praised for good behaviour. This will also help to encourage good behaviour because the child knows that when they are well behaved they will be rewarded. Also when parents and practitioners model appropriate behaviour children will pick up and copy. Having Clear Expectation- It is important that parents and practitioner set rules that are fair and equal for all children. This will help children know and understand certain boundaries. If the child know exactly what these rules and expectation they are more likely to stick to them as they are able to understand what is and isn’t expected of them. Settings can give duties and responsibilities for each child, this will help them to feel valued, and if they know that they will loose the privilege if the misbehave, they are more likely to behave appropriately. C1- There are different types of support available to parents to help them meet the needs of the children. The Gingerbread Centre- The gingerbread centre provides support accommodation to homeless lone parents, families, and their children up to 16years old. It also helps homeless single parent women and teenagers to find supported accommodation.

The gingerbread centre focuses on brining lone parents to a stable and safe place, how to enable independent living, life- Skills and to make thought-out decisions that will affect the rest of the family. They help to build on family relationships and improve on parenting confidence. The gingerbread centre will work with children and parents to strive towards resolving parental and children’s behaviour such and substance misuse, debt, education, social skills, self-esteem and any anti-social behaviour. This is very effects for young parents as all the support they need is there, but they are also offered freedom in which they are able to make their own decisions but they are able to discuss it with professionals that can help them to think about the pros and cons of the action, also as this is like a half way house they are helping lone parents to become ready for the rest of the community for when they are read to move. The disadvantages of this are that certain parents and families may become dependent on the support they are being provided with. Citizen Advice- Citizen advice services help people to resolve their legal, money, educational and work problems they may be facing. The offer advice and provide information about suitable actions that can be taken to help resolve the problem. Citizen advice works with other expects such as the family action, gingerbread centres and the job centre. It is spilt into three main criteria’s, Money, Work and Education. The advantages are that professional support and advice can be obtained by parents and careers on issues that they need help resolving, people cannot become depend on them as they only offer advice and support, the final decision making is up to you. B1- When working with children there may be many key issues for you when supporting families. Practitioner must know how to promote them. It is essential that practitioner respect the wishes of families and what they want doing. If I practitioner get too emotionally involved then this may be hard to keep. They must be able to establish trust when working with families; this is because if a family does not trust the practitioner then they will find it hard to talk to you. This means that the child’s best interest could be compromised, practitioners do not want to experiences arguments and hostility between them and parents as much as parents do not want this to happen. Language barriers are also in an issue that arises for practitioners when at a setting. Children from all over the world attend different settings, and occasionally English is not there first language, other times the child may not even be able to speak English yet. It is important for the practitioner not to become frustrated and to understand that is not the child’s fault what language they speak, it is there for important for the practitioner to try and over come these issues. “Adults must spend time playing, doing activities and chatting with children. Chatting is quite important as children need to hear grammatically correct sentences rather than an over load of questions.” Practitioner should therefore try and talking to the child as often as possible. They should also talk to the parents about what step they can take for the child to help them develop, for instance the parents could try talking English at home more often than usual to try and help the child learn to their best ability. Confidentiality is also an issue that arises some times. Information cannot be shared unless absolutely necessary, when it does arise that information must be passed on to other people this can become a issues as parents can become very angry with this. Practitioners should never be judgmental. No matter what the situation, practitioners should always be respectful too. If a family has less money than another they should not and treat a child different, it is not their fault, all children have equal rights and are a unique individual. Although this may be hard for some practitioner it should not be done under any circumstances, as this can affect the child mentally and emotionally. Parents will also not like this and it could cause conflict and the practitioner may even loose their job. Skills and to make thought-out decisions that will affect the rest of the family.
