A child develops language skills before being able to speak. When caregivers read out loud to infants and children, we demonstrate the importance and enjoyment of language. Children need experiences in which they are surrounded by rich oral language. When children are given experiences with language at a young age they are being prepared for reading and writing. Children learn language as a natural part of development through their everyday conversations with people who care for them.…
Age, grief, fear, pain, and stress impact many of my pre-k through third-grade students in their ability to understand and comprehend complex health information. When I call a parent because their child has endured an accident and needs more comprehensive care than I can offer, fear and stress impact their ability to listen and comprehend the information I am attempting to impart. Because the age of my patients is so young, I too need to utilize the families to help assure their safety and well-being. Health care literacy and the ability of the health care provider to communicate on a level needed for understanding involving all parties is a skill we can learn and continue to improve upon (Lambert & Keogh, 2014). I applaud Ms. Lyttle for her dedication to her profession and hard work to adapt her teaching methods to meet her patient and families needs.…
Adults can effectively support and extend the speech, language and communication development of children during early years by making learning fun and enjoyable and using games that require a lot of repetition and turn taking. Singing songs is another way and children don’t realise they are learning this way. Make sure you speak clearly and pronounce your letters and words correctly so children don’t get confused and can easily copy back to you. Always have a positive, friendly tone of voice, smile and use positive body language to encourage children to follow your example. Always give positive comments to children and try to encourage repeated good behaviour by rewarding them with things like stickers and team points so thy and others want to copy this behaviour.…
I learned a lot from this OIR that will affect my future teaching career hopefully in a better approach. I learned that some children develop slower than others and some develop quicker. All children achieve milestones at different times in their lives. Seeing that some children need a little extra help (guidance in independence and taking responsibility) and some children don’t, show that when I’m a teacher, I’m going to have to accommodate to these children’s needs as much as possible. I also learned that some children need more time than others to develop.…

Throughout a day at nursery for the child, talking to them is a natural skill we have to communicate with them. However, the language we use determines on the topic or activity you are doing. For example, you use certain language which could relate to the child’s mathematical development. We do this in a range of ways, first of all in my setting we count the children all the time, counting for breakfast, counting chairs, counting sleepers, head counting into the garden and constantly when we are out in the garden, counting how many for tea and more. Counting 1-10 numerous times a day will get the children familiar with counting numbers and begin to learn counting in the correct sequence.…

Written Summary I am very thankful for this experience counseling with adolescents. I have avoided working with adolescents because I am still quite young myself and was always anxious about the interaction and how they would respond to me.

We would need to adapt the way we communicate with children and young people as they may not completely understand what we are saying. For example, the younger the person is the more simpler and clearer we should communicate. If the child is very young, we would need to talk in a way they would understand. This can include talking in a generally more simple way. We may need to talk with a different tone of voice than we usually would to keep the child engaged, as the may get distracted easily and not fully listen to what we are saying.…

Competency Statements IV I believe that is essential to establish trust and respect, as well as keeping open communications with the parents/guardians of the children in your care at all times.

Not a lot of people like to listen to me so i'm disagreeing that adults don't listen to kids. The reason i say that is because my parents don't listen when i try to be serious with them they ignore me and half the adults in my life just look me over and never listen. Not saying all adults are bad but some are like teachers you tell them one thing and they don't believe you…
Assignment 1 From reviewing and skimming through the syllabus and book the three items that I find the most interesting is Early childhood education as a profession, Health, Safety, and Communicating with Young children, and Modeling adult relationships in early childhood settings. I chose early childhood as a profession because it has always been my passion to work with children choosing this profession can’t just be a random choice it has to be something a person want to do. When it comes to working with children you have to be patient, nurturing, you must abide by certain rules in the work place as well as state laws. The text put this topic first because it gives details about what it means to be an early childhood educator, it talks…
