Barriers to Communication.

Age Age differences between care workers and their patients and clients can act as a barrier to communication where there is a generation gap that makes it hard for people to relate to each other. For example, young care staff without thinking may adopt a very informal, familiar approach when addressing and talking to older people for whom they care for. It is not unusual for some older residents in nursing homes to object when young, new and unfamiliar staff use their first names or talk to them in a very informal way.

It is important that children are learning all the time they are growing; this is so they can learn how to develop key skills within their life. I have heard of three main models of learning, each with a series of practitioners which I will show below wit

the dog already salivated at the food, but due to its conditioning with the bell, it had learned to salivate at the bell.2 Skinner based his work on behaviourism, this was a theory that was popular in the first half of the 20th century and influenced by Pavlov's work. He believed that to behave in certain ways we were learning as you either get a reward or are punished. An example of Skinner's theory would be the giving of stickers to children if they have worked well.

Care Needs

Children will need practical opportunities to learn and develop. For instance, a good education is more likely to provide better opportunities in the future. A child's self-image will begin to develop from interactions with other people during this stage. Adolescence Young people develop an increasing level of skill and understanding as they grow towards adulthood. Care needs will include good educational opportunities to develop intellectual and practical needs. Teenagers become independent and start to listen more to their friends than they do parents. This is because they are starting to grow up and are starting to realise that their parents aren't always going to be there.

Introduction to Child development

For example, when I little boy, the same age as Jessica, told her to be quiet, she got very wound up by this and yelled at him to stop it and told him to be quiet. Sometimes she will get frustrated when she is told to share something and doesn't get her turn quickly enough.

Visit 5. FAR investigations For this visit I had chosen for Connor to choose a range of different activities to do, from this I will be able to learn more about his different preferences. For this I had prepared a questionnaire for Connor to answer.

Predictions and Expectations I think that Connor will be developing well and that there won't be much difference if any in his development from my last visit. I expect Connor will have chosen a variety of different activities to do with cars, trains, books, telly, colouring, puzzles and building blocks because in my other visits he has said how he likes them things a lot. I can ask him to make something or do something with the items he is playing with and show me what his favourite thing about that activity is and why he likes it which is sometimes the same thing.

Personality Kira is a very lively, confident and energetic child. She has a very bubbly personality, but can be mischievous at times.
