Interacting and Supporting Children

[seep]

Q-how can we provide assistance during these developmental stages and encourage independence?

Children have a drive to be independent and do things on their own. This is a healthy part of normal child development. As children grow, they learn to do more and more tasks. The secret to success is to give children age-appropriate experiences and provide the appropriate supports to help children be successful.Child care providers can offer opportunities for children to develop self-help skills and give them ample time to work on these important tasks.adults are important role models.We model self-help skills; children learn a great deal from watching us.Self-feeding,Independent dressing and grooming,Hygiene and toileting,
Helping with daily chores like table setting and picking up toys are some ways to encourage independence in children

-what are the five principles of the NAtional quality framework which underlie educators work?

Principles - relates to our beliefs and values. The Early Years Learning Framework provides us with Principles to guide us in our work with children and focuses on assisting each individual child to make progress towards the Learning Outcomes. The five principles are the following –

Secure, respectful and reciprocal relationships – having an understanding and being aware of children’s thoughts and feelings. Positively interacting with each individual child in their learning and support the development of a child’s sense of wellbeing.

Partnerships – working in partnerships with families within the early childhood setting. Creating a warm and welcoming environment for all children and their families. Collaborating with childcare professionals, parents, people within the community to ensure learning experiences are meaningful for the children.

High Expectations and equity – believing that all children are able to succeed, regardless of cultural diversity and abilities. Having high expectations for all children in their achievement in learning. Ensure that all children have opportunities to achieve learning outcomes.

Respect for diversity – respecting, valuing and reflecting the values and beliefs of families. Show consideration and respect of cultures, languages, histories, traditions, family lifestyle practices of all families. Promote a greater understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

Ongoing learning and reflective practices – continually improve professional knowledge and learning practices. Value the local knowledge of families and the community. Engage in ongoing learning of philosophy, ethics and practice. Gather information that supports children’s developmental learning.

Hope this helps,
