develop positive and respectful relationships with children
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2015 4:47 pm
Q1-what type of experiences can you provide within your service to allow and encourage children to share their stories and ideas
•Point out good sharing in others. You can say things like, ‘Your friend was sharing her toys really well. That was very kind of her’. You can also point out sharing examples in any books, DVDs or TV shows your child enjoys. For example, you could say things such as, ‘Look at Karen and Rhys sharing the playdough on Playschool. They’re having so much fun!’
•When you see the child trying to share or take turns, make sure you give lots of praise and attention. For example, ‘I liked the way you let Aziz play with your train. Great sharing!’
•Play games with child that involve sharing and turn-taking. Talk with child through the steps, saying things like, ‘Now it’s my turn to build the tower, then it’s your turn. You share the red blocks with me, and I’ll share the green blocks with you’.
•Talk to the child about sharing before she goes on play with other children. For example, you could say, ‘When Georgia comes over, you’ll need to share some of your toys. Why don’t we ask her what she wants to play with.
•Put away any special toys when lots of kids are playing at the same time.This might help avoid problems with sharing altogether.

Q2-How can we demonstrate an attitude of respect when working with families? in your answer consider the physical environment of the service as well as our personal skills and qualities as educators?
1-Get to know families at your ECEC service
Every family is different. Getting to know all of the families at your ECEC service means there is less chance of assumptions being made about backgrounds, cultures or practices. Asking families about their lives and culture is the best way to get to know them and what is important to them.
2-Be open to different types of families
Families from culturally diverse backgrounds can also be unique in their composition. Families can be small or large, may or may not be biologically related and may include several generations. When educators are able to include all families, it helps families to feel more welcome in the ECEC service
3-Work to develop positive relationships with families
Relationships help people understand each other and work together. Coming to an ECEC service might be a new experience for some families, so developing positive relationships can help build a sense of belonging and inclusion
4-Be thoughtful about communication
When spoken or written English is a barrier, interpreters or translated material can help educators and families communicate with one another. When working face to face with interpreters, always remember to talk to the family not to the interpreter
5-Mutual respect for diversity
Educators can encourage a positive environment by inviting diversity into the service. For example, providing a range of opportunities for children and their families to share their personal stories creates an atmosphere of cultural respect and acknowledgement of diversity.
6-Create community connections
Being safe and feeling safe can take time to achieve. Some families may have experienced significant trauma and disruption in the process of moving to or settling in Australia. These experiences can have ongoing effects on families. It can be helpful for families to have opportunities to talk about their experiences and to receive sensitive support when required.
7-Counter racism and discrimination
Race-based discrimination is any behaviors or practices that result in avoidable and unfair disadvantage for minority racial/ethnic/cultural groups and privilege majority groups. It can occur at both individual and organizational levels. Racism can be countered by promoting positive attitudes and practices regarding diversity among individuals and organizations.

Q3-give example of aspects of an environment that would foster stress and frustration in children?
children who regulate their emotions are empathic, relate to peers effectively, respect the rights of others, and perform better at school. Children who are less skilled tend to have more negative experiences with peers and adults. This can have lifelong impacts. For example, some children may have limited social skills to join in group play, and that can lead to feelings of isolation or rejection and undermine self-confidence.

Q4-Research
Research and record Mildred Parten's theory of play stages
1-Stages of play is a theory and classification of children's participation in play developed by Mildred Parten in 1932.[1] Parten observed American preschool age (ages 2 to 5) children at free play (defined as anything unrelated to survival, production or profit).
Parten recognized six different types of play:
•Unoccupied (play) – when the child is not playing, just observing. A child may be standing in one spot or performing random movements.[2]
•Solitary (independent) play – when the child is alone and maintains focus on its activity. Such a child is uninterested in or is unaware of what others are doing. More common in younger children (age 2–3) as opposed to older ones.[1][2][3]
•Onlooker play (behavior) – when the child watches others at play but does not engage in it.[2] The child may engage in forms of social interaction, such as conversation about the play, without actually joining in the activity.[3] This type of activity is also more common in younger children.[1]
•Parallel play (adjacent play, social coaction) – when the child plays separately from others but close to them and mimicking their actions.[2][3] This type of play is seen as a transitory stage from a socially immature solitary and onlooker type of play, to a more socially mature associative and cooperative type of play.[1]
•Associative play – when the child is interested in the people playing but not in coordinating their activities with those people, or when there is no organized activity at all. There is a substantial amount of interaction involved, but the activities are not in sync.[2][3]
•Cooperative play – when a child is interested both in the people playing and in the activity they are doing. In cooperative play, the activity is organized, and participants have assigned roles. There is also increased self-identification with a group, and a group identity may emerge. This is relatively uncommon in the preschool and Kindergarten years, because it requires more social maturity and more advanced organization skills. Examples would be dramatic play activities with roles, like playing school, or a game with rules, such as freeze tag
