How may I assist parent and baby to have a relaxed, unhurried separation?
Any help would be appreciated Thanks
What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
Answer 1
• Nursing the baby/infant while talking to the parent at the same time
• Sharing information about the baby/infant – eg how they slept the night before, when they are due for another feed/bottle
• Sharing a game together – eg clapping game, smiling, peek-a-boo
Answer 2
Encourage the parents to take as much time as needed to have a relaxed, unhurried separation from their baby. We should encourage parents to allow time to settle baby/infants into activities before they leave. This is often important for families during the first few weeks in care as this can help to develop a trusting relationship. In helping parents to separate from their child in a relaxed and unhurried manner we can provide special spaces for families to interact and spend time with their baby/infant. These could be: a sofa in the book corner for the family to share a story that they like together or a rug on the floor with musical instruments.

Thanks L.A. I'm just curious who you did your cert 3 & diploma through. I'd like to do my diploma after I finish my cert 3 but not through the same company. Any recommendations??
