Diary Task – Unit 3: Supporting Children
I believe that I have been a positive role model for children in my placement as I always use my manners and I am polite towards the staff, parents/carers and children that bring them into the nursery. I make sure that I always welcome the children and adults into the nursery with a polite attitude, I also am always happy in the nursery so this makes the children feel happy and comfortable in their environment. By showing the children how to use their manners and be polite toward other children this encourages them to act in this manner. Vygotsky’s theory led him to the conclusion that children learn from adults and other children around them. This proves that the children are learning from me being a positive role model, the children will be more likely to act this way when they are older.
