PersuasiveUChijnjkn40001: The Healthy and Active
The safety of young children as they learn and develop is of major concern for educators, parents and early learning centers. In Australian early year’s education, we acknowledge growth and development as dynamic and harmonize holistic approaches to health (United Nations International Children 's Emergency Fund [UNICEF], 2008). The below article details the critical reviews of current philosophies of risk-taking and safety literature in early childhood education responding to the statement, “Children in early childhood centers need to be kept safe all times, and not exposed to anything that might cause them harm” (Swinburne, Online, 2016).

These policies enable educators to constraint the amount of negative risk-taking environment and support to provide the safety environment to take a positive risk in turn to learning new skills (Rosen & Peterson, 1990).So, I accept as true that in early childhood centers, children aged from birth to 4 years need constant supervision in most environments. The supervision level varies according to the ratio, for example, educator/child ratios in early learning centers based on the policy are 1:5 for children under 2 years, 1:8 for two to three years of age, and 1:10 for three or above but less than 6 years of ages (Little, …show more content…
Hence, in my attitude, it is vital for the early childhood centers to investigate risk-taking procedures within their centers and ensuring to provide safe environment including the aspects of playground design. These designs not only support positive risk-taking but also reduce the inappropriate risky behaviour, and minimize educators’ response to the children’s risk-taking behaviour in their care. Moreover, I accept that the provision of a level of supervision enables educators to support children’s safety and also acknowledge that positive risk taking is an issue that needs to be addressed in policies relating to adult/child ratios. Therefore, as a future educator, I understand that it is vital for me to get to know every individual child and up-to-date about the curriculum and legislation policies. Hence, this will help me to support children to build on their existing knowledge, abilities and skills as children achieve increasing independence in caring for themselves and other’s
