Physical and Emotional Wellbeing

Which practices in FSAC outline the approach educators need to take when providing care for children?
My answer so far is:

1. HOLISTIC APPROACHES :
School age care educators take a holistic approach to their roles and responsibilities recognising the connectedness of mind, body and spirit. They focus attention on children’s physical, personal, social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing as well as cognitive aspects of learning as it pertains to lifelong learning.

2. Environment :
School age care environments are welcoming spaces when they reflect and enrich the lives and identities of children and families participating in the setting in response to their interests and needs. Environments that support wellbeing and development are vibrant and flexible spaces that are responsive to the welfare and abilities of each child.

3. CULTURAL COMPETENCE:
Educators who are culturally competent respect multiple cultural ways of knowing, seeing and living, celebrate the benefits of diversity and have an ability to understand and honour differences.

4. EVALUATION FOR WELLBEING AND LEARNING:
Educators gather knowledge about children’s wellbeing and learning as they reflect and engage in processes such as scanning, monitoring, gathering and analysing information about how children feel and what children know, can do and understand.

Can you advice me please :)
