CHCECE002 - Friendly Communication Of Discussing Health and Hygiene

[Midge71]

Why is friendly communication important when discussing health or hygiene issues with children


My answer was
Keeping children safe and healthy is a top priority in children’s education and care services. Laws and regulations explain many of the requirements that educators need to meet for children’s health and safety. Children’s well-being is also a priority. Well being goes beyond basic health and safety to include children feeling secure and comfortable. When children are healthy and well rested and feel secure and confident, they are in the best position to participate happily and successfully in a learning environment. Learning about healthy lifestyles contributes to children’s sense of well-being and builds their confidence in themselves. Educators can help children learn about healthy eating, hygiene and how to keep fit and active. As children become more independent, they can take greater responsibility for their own health, safety, and well-being.

You have discussed why health and hygiene process should be discussed however the question is asking why friendly communication is important.

You need to focus on "why" - consider the sensitive nature of hygiene topics and reanswer
