E3- Provide information about a range of factors which may affect childrens health and well-being at differing times in their lives. E4- Include evidence of the effects of these factors on childrens health.

Another thing can be excurses and healthy lifestyle which may affect the child aged 4-9 years old as this can prevent having an fat child.

To encourage the child to do exercise and eat a healthy diet can be done by many ways:

? Interacting with the child

? Not forcing the child but instead give them chose to choose from to benefit from it

The child's parents should have s fairly good life style as well as it can have an affect on the child because you are his/her role model. For example child may grow up to drink and smoke just like his or her mother did. This will then affect the child because the child could grow up to have liver or heart dieses.

If the child has any illness or disability then the practitioner should work with this to meet their best needs rather then discriminate them and try and help their well-being.

E5- Include examples of different routines for children which will maintain a healthy lifestyle

An example of a routine which maintains a healthy lifestyle for the children is shown in portfolio under the heading E5 for children aged 5 at a nursery in London and west Sussex. This is good because it shows a set out routine of the setting that can easily be followed and read.

An example of tresillian routine which maintains a healthy lifestyle for the children is shown in portfolio under the heading E5. This is good because it explains in detail and gives tips for different ages on tressillian routines to maintain a healthy life style.

The last example of a routine which maintains a healthy lifestyle for the children is shown in portfolio under the heading E5. These two routines are good because they explain what they do and show on how they carry out the healthy life style routine in their setting.

E6 Include descriptions of two activities which are suitable to use with children to promote a healthy lifestyle

The two activities which I have chosen are described in my portfolio. Here I will say how these activities will help in promoting a healthy lifestyle and what is good and bad about the activities.

My 1st activity was making a fruit salad. - In this activity the children learnt that fruit are very good for you and why you should eat them, how to cut the fruit (fine motor skills), hygiene routine throughout the whole of this activity and socializing with other in the group by engaging with them. I introduced this activity to the children by telling the children what activity they were going to do, how they were going to carry the activity out and how to use the equipment for the activity. This activity can be developed by helping the child cut up the fruit if they can't do it on their own. When finishing the activity we made sure the equipment was clean to put away and the children washed their hand with supervision. After the activity had finished all the children in the classroom got to try the fruit salad.

The equipment that used for the activity was:

? 7 plates

? 7 butter kives

? 1 big bowl

? 1 big spoon

? Bowls and spoons

By carrying out this activity it promoted their healthy lifestyle because the fruit were healthy and giving the children the vitamins and promotes and encourages the healthy eating. This activity was good because the children were learning from a young age about everyday lifestyle things.

My 2nd activity was physical play outside - In this activity the children learn how important it is to exercise, some simple exercise things and socializing with their class mates. I introduced this activity to the children by getting them to put their coats and shoes on, then taking them to the garden and getting them to carryout these exercises. I found that this activity also met their individual needs by allowing each child time to carry out these exercises. When finishing the activity all the children went inside and took their coats off and washed their hands.

By carrying out this activity it promoted their healthy lifestyle because they were physically active. The good thing about the activity was that it promotes heath and for them to be active.

D1- Include an explanation of how routines and activities can promote and maintain a healthy lifestyle

C1- Analyse the reasons for planning and implementing activities which contribute to promoting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle for children

It is important to plan and implement activities which contribute to promoting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle for children. When the practitioners are planning, they are automatically making a routine for the children. This is good because it will encourage good habits if the child and a healthy living. Therefore settings will encourage healthy eating and exercise into their planning and activities. Another reason why it is important to plan and implement activities is because children have different development stages and the practitioner would have to look at each child individual to meet their needs.

A- Include a reflective account of the role of the practitioner in promoting and maintaining a healthy environment for children Linked with E1.

Each practitioner has a role to having a healthy lifestyle and healthy environment is to:

? Promote hygiene

? Promote safety

? Promote healthy diet, provide with water and food

? Promote exercise and stimulation

? Promote rest and sleep

The practitioner has many responsibilities when promoting and maintaining a healthy environment for children:

Promote independence

Maintain a safe environment for children at all times

Plan age and stage appropriate activities and resources

Risk asses the environment before children, also risk asses the activities to keep children safe and healthy.

Keeping basic hygiene of the children
