CU1522.1 – Be able to develop positive relationships with children and young people
Explain why positive relationships with children and young people are important and how these are built and maintained.
Positive relationships with children and young people are important for the child so that they can learn and develop to their full ability. If a child feels comfortable with you they would be more inclined to leave their parents in the morning easier. This makes the parent feel happier – leaving their child with someone their child enjoys being – and makes them feel less guilty about going to work. This also then means they can start to play and interact with other children. Through playing and exploring and socialising the child or

Firstly, when a child or young person enters the room I always make sure I greet them, making eye contact, saying hello and smiling. I make sure I get down to their level and offer to give them a hug. I try to make the environment they walk into a positive one so they do not feel threatened or intimidated but more welcomed and wanted. I think this is effective as it is becomes a routine they can get used to - seeing me when they walk through the door - and will then instinctively start to say hello back and accept your offer of a hug. I also ensure I am always happy and have a chat with their parent or guardian. I think if the parent and you have a positive relationship the child will pick up on this and start react that way too. I think it’s an effective method to use as they do not see you as ‘the person that takes them away from their parent or guardian’ but instead sees you as a friend of theirs and their parent/guardian.
I also find another very effective way to build a positive relationship with a child or young person is to constantly encourage them. Giving them a variety of toys and saying ‘oh what’s this? Would you like to play in the sand?’ ect. This promotes to them you are fun and want to play with them. Children usually like someone to play with however this is not always effective if the child’s individual preference is to be left alone. In which case it is better to build the relationship by giving them their space, but making sure
Developing positive relationships is important within most situations in life, a good way of ensuring these positive relationships progress is to ensure you have effective communication. When working with children if you complicate things it can lead to the child becoming confused as to what is expected of them. Make sure the language that you use is age appropriate to avoid confusion. You may be able to see if the child has understood your request by either checking that your instructions have been carried out or simply by asking the child "do you understand?" and asking them to relay back what you have asked. Communication is a two way thing and to have a positive relationship with somebody you will also
It is important to build a good foundation for a relationship whether it is between you and a child, young person or adult. Respect, trust, understanding and patience are all vitally important. If these components aren’t apparent in the relationship then there will not be one.
In order to support social and emotional development and provide positive guidance I make sure the child knows that they are important to me. I do this by acknowledging them from the first day I meet them. I warmly greet my students every day. I ask them how they are feeling and we discuss our feelings during our morning routine. I encourage participation by reminding the children that all feelings are okay and that how we re-act to those feelings is most important. I model empathy, compassion listening skills and encouraging behavior on a daily basis. Children learn by example. When I display a positive outlook and appropriate

On June 8th, 1990 is when I entered this place that we call Earth. Born to Montasser and Nagla Hassan, the only girl and the youngest with two older brothers, nine and seven years apart. My parents were born and raised in Cairo, Egypt, and moved to America after getting married, leaving their families behind to better their future and the lives of their future off springs. Their courage and dedication to life and each other is a characteristic that they carried on throughout their journey of careers, life, love, and children.
Not only do you talk to them but also the child will response, or even approach you first to communicate; either for a general conversation or to ask a question.
A) Explain why effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults.
At its fundamental level, adulthood is simply the end of childhood, and the two stages are, by all accounts, drastically different. In the major works of poetry by William Blake and William Wordsworth, the dynamic between these two phases of life is analyzed and articulated. In both Blake’s Songs of Innocence and of Experience and many of Wordsworth’s works, childhood is portrayed as a superior state of mental capacity and freedom. The two poets echo one another in asserting that the individual’s progression into adulthood diminishes this childhood voice. In essence, both poets demonstrate an adoration for the vision possessed by a child, and an aversion to the mental state of adulthood. Although both Blake and Wordsworth show childhood as
An important part of helping with children is making them feel welcomed, loved, cared for, and safe. You must have a kind, open, and friendly personality in order to be able to relate to them. When you go to tell the child what is wrong with them, you must be able to relay the information back to them in a calming way they will easily
There are millions and millions of people living in this world, and every single person has a relationship with others. People almost always develop a strong bond or relationship with at least one other person. Practically one of the first relationships to develop is that of a parent and child. Having relationships and connections with others is important because everyone needs someone in their life, and being connected with others helps build one’s success.
There are many external and internal factors that can affect the building of relationship between children and young people. External factors like economic factor can affect building of relation because most underprivileged people may not have an opportunity to explore outside since they don't have money to join activities or socialise with other thus their socialising skills is not good and tend to be passive which can be difficult for teaching assistant to develop relationship with them. Also, nowadays many children and young people are facing too much stress from their over-scheduling, family difficulties and limitation of free time. This can highly influence a student behaviour development because when students needs to come across with
I chose to read and analyze the poem titled “The Coming of Wisdom with Time” written by William Butler Yeats. This poem portrays a theme of childhood ignorance in the sense that ignorance comes with young age. When you’re young optimism comes freely to you, you don’t notice how things got there, and you merely notice the superficiality, ignoring the complex prior process. With time, people’s capacity increase and they begin to be attracted to all the negative aspects as a result of losing their childhood innocence. The speaker states, “I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun; Now I may wither into the truth.” The reader can infer that the speaker is going through the growing up process where they stop thinking that the moon follows the car,
When I looked over the words for the Personal Definitions Essay, I was at a stand still. All of the words that were presented seemed great, but still a cliche. For instance, the easiest word on there has to be Love. How many people on the street right now could answer “What does love mean to you?” and it is a universal definition of one loving another in a caring and loving way. How many people would give examples of their significant others or their families to show assurance of this definition? But those people would never talk about the heartbreak they have gone through loving another. They would never speak of the dark corners of their souls exposed to someone who didn’t care or worse scared and stopped. Love changes every day. That’s why I chose a different route a more challenging route. I chose the word Childhood. The definition of childhood is a “period of life from birth to puberty” with the etymology being old English. Everybody has experienced childhood, and everybody has a different experience on it but not everybody has come out the same way.
My childhood was a very dark place for me, I didn’t have as many friends and people were bullying me and I started to become a bully myself including hurting my family members. There was also a lot of family issues in my life, Also with my school life with the grades that I was making.When I would come home from school, my parents would always argue and have always fight. My mom would always make me read a book to her before she and I went to sleep and before I finish my last sentence,an argument occurs and then I would cry and feel depressed and a lot of adults were making fun of body and making rude comments. For example: I would open my fridge and my grandparents friend would come over and see me pull out a jar of ice cream and say to my grandparents “she looks like she pregnant, why would you allow her to eat ice cream. She will get bigger.” I didn’t have as many friends or talents. I tried everything I can to help others, but they just use me and call me mean things.
The time of pure innocence in other words, childhood. When I visualize my childhood, I can hear faint laughter in the distance and I feel serenity wash over me. Moments of memories flash through my eyes like a movie, I can still feel the swelling happiness that grew within my chest. The smell of "outside" that I wore as a perfume. Imagination taking me away to the vast open oceans on a huge pirate ship as I sword fought my opponent inevitably making him walk the plank, or slipping through an obstacle of lasers that I need to get past in order to complete my top secret mission. Living in my house that is outlined in chalk on the driveway and pretending to be an adult, or at least what I thought being an adult is. My biggest protector against evil monsters that lurked in the darkness is my brave and noble teddy bear, he is so intimidating that every monster cowered in his presence. I remember when I fell asleep in the car after a very eventful night only to magically wake up in my bed snuggled in my blanket. I remember being so excited for what tomorrow may bring that I couldn't sleep.
