Aussie Childcare Network Forum

In FSAC it states that educators facilitate " children take increasing responsibility for their own health and physical well being" by engaging children in what activities that relate to safety?

my answer was:
By engaging children in the following:
-collaborating with children to negotiate their rights in relation to the rights of others.
-providing time and space for children to challenge and practice physical prowess.
-by providing care and respect for all children

"Children take increasing responsibility for their own health and physical wellbeing" - Learning Outcome 3.2

This is evident when children:

recognise and communicate their bodily needs (for example, thirst, hunger, rest, comfort, physical activity).
are happy, healthy, safe and connected to others.
engage in increasingly complex sensory motor skills and movement patterns.
combine gross and fine motor movement and balance to achieve increasingly complex patterns of activity including dance, creative movement and drama.
use their sensory capabilities and dispositions with increasing integration, skill and purpose to explore and respond to their world.
demonstrate spatial awareness and orient themselves, moving around and through their environments confidently and safely.
manipulate equipment and manage tools with increasing competence and skill respond through movement to traditional and contemporary music, dance and storytelling.
show an increasing awareness of healthy lifestyles and good nutrition.
show increasing independence and competence in personal hygiene, care and safety for themselves and others.
show enthusiasm for participating in physical play and negotiate play spaces to ensure the safety and wellbeing of themselves and others.

Ref: How Children Can Achieve Outcomes

Educators promote this learning by:

plan for and participate in energetic physical activity with children, including dance, drama, movement and games.
draw on family and community experiences and expertise to include familiar games and physical activities in play.
provide a wide range of tools and materials to resource children’s fi ne and gross motor skills.
actively support children to learn hygiene practices.
promote continuity of children’s personal health and hygiene by sharing ownership of routines and schedules with children, families and the community.
discuss health and safety issues with children and involve them in developing guidelines to keep the environment safe for all.
engage children in experiences, conversations and routines that promote healthy lifestyles and good nutrition.
consider the pace of the day within the context of the community.
model and reinforce health, nutrition and personal hygiene practices with children.
provide a range of active and restful experiences throughout the day and support children to make appropriate decisions regarding participation.
