‘Responsiveness to children’ is one pedagogical practice recognised in BBB: EYLF.  Explain how this practice promotes children’s learning, making the connection to one of the theories researched in question 2.
 Approximately 250 words 

my answer:
Responsiveness to children – being aware and responding to each individual child’s strengths, abilities and emerging interests. Value and further develop children’s strengths, interests, skills, abilities and knowledge to further extend their learning. As a early childhood educator, we need to use the Maslow's hierarchy of needs to guide our work:
-encourages children to explore, solve problems, communicate, think, create and construct ---Self-actualization
-has minimal rules (with some exceptions, such as those that keep children safe)--The safety and security needs.
-is a rich sensory experience (involving sound, sight, touch, taste, smell and movement)-----Love and belonging
involves concepts that will be used in more formal learning situations (such as language, literacy and numeracy)--
-extends children’s social skills and emotional regulation, while being fun and holistic---Love and belonging

• gather and analyse information about each child’s progress from a wide range of sources
• reflect and respond to children’s similarities and differences and build on children’s capabilities, strengths, interests and knowledge
• provide activities for children to explore, solve problems, communicate, think, create and construct
• support child-directed, adult-led and guided play and learning teaching and learning approaches
• promote and use practices that have been shown to be successful in supporting children’s learning and development, and challenge and change those practices that have not achieved success
• gather information that supports, informs, assesses and enriches decision-making about appropriate professional practices



please help and check my answer, thanks
