Transition
For my transition project I have chosen to do arrival time in the toddler room because I find observing the children 's when they arrive is the most difficult time in the day. Here are some of my observations: November 10.2016 children crying upon arrival, they don’t want to come inside the classroom Children up in parent’s arms, when parents go to put them down they won 't put their feet down. Parents trying to get them to go in by telling them to go get trucks, or their favorite toy. Children refuses still to come in. teacher gave a nice warm welcoming and was also trying to encourage children to come in. teacher finally had to take children from parents and children still screaming and crying.

And enjoy the environment. I think that this behavior can be happening because first of all arrival time is the beginning of the children day. And is one of the important part of children’s day. Its early in the morning, maybe they were woken up and brought to daycare. They might not be having a good morning. They might be hungry, never had breakfast or maybe not enough to eat. Could be still tired and just need them couple of minutes to cuddle with mommy or daddy. The room could be to loud children might not like noise early in the morning. Can not be feeling secure or having relationships with teachers because teachers are always rotating so children might not know who to trust. Also not knowing what room they 're going to be in each day because it changes in the morning, usually children go into the baby room until the other teachers arrives. Said by Maslow and Erikson theory “we can help children meet their needs for security and help them develop trust, atuomny or initiative during arrival times”. So maybe knowing the steps of the routine for arrival time example {come in hang coats and backpack up, get in door shoes on and coming into the room and finding an activity to do. This helps the feeling of security.) Not enough material out in the room to entice them to come in, room not set up for arrival. So adding material and setting up stations might get their attention.

The children came into the room with less problems they were excited to hear the music playing in the background softly. It made them feel relax coming in, gave them that security. There was new material set out on the tables that they didn’t see before, so that caught their interest it was a quiet room, the room wasn’t so bright lights were out and lamps on. It also puts a lot of relief on the parents too, they didn’t have to deal with a difficult drop off with their children. So parents weren’t having to stay for a longer period of time upon arrival. doing this transition activity made it easier for us as teachers, parents and the child it relief a lot of stressed.it started a foundation for the children to build trust, it also started giving the children what to look forward to when they arrive in the morning, like I mention before knowing the routine of your day can make your starting of the day a lot easier. I would love to keep doing this arrival time transition activity because it worked very well. Not saying that it worked for every child but it made it a lot stressful when children are arriving. There needs to be some changes and more observing so we can get the other ones that are still having that rough time coming in. things I would change is the material everyday or a couple times a week. So children do not get bored of what’s going on and that they come into different things once in a
