Communicating To Families About Their Child's Food Intake

Post by seep » Wed Aug 26, 2015 4:43 pm

Q-what are some of the different ways we can communicate with families about their baby or toddlers food and drink intake throughout the day?


• Short conversations with a quick exchange of information
• Newsletters for educators to update families with the details
• Emails – can provide a means of two-way communication, which can be accessed at times convenient to families and educators.
• Notice board or Whiteboard with information for families or questions for feedback from families to gather ideas in specific topics.
• A communication book, where families can and educators can provide notes to each other.
• Meetings between educator and family
• Online survey tools (such as Survey Monkey) - to seek feedback from families with a means of providing a means of quick electronic reply.
• Social media – which is providing a very effective way for services to communicate with families.
• Use of an interpreter -

Q-research the National Quality standards,from quality area 3,physical environment-record relevant standards that relate to working with babies and toddlers

The physical environment plays a critical role in keeping children safe; reducing the risk of unintentional injuries; contributing to their wellbeing, happiness, creativity and developing independence; and determining the quality of children’s learning and experiences. To maximise children’s engagement and level of positive experience and inclusive relationships, an approved service needs to carefully consider physical layout and resources in the environment

A secure and predictable environment with adequate space and appropriate facilities and resources enables children to choose what they will do and take increasing responsibility for their own health, hygiene and personal care. Environments also support positive relationships when space is arranged so that small groups of children can play and talk without undue distraction from children engaged in other activities.

For the first question you don't need to include newsletter...
