Awareness of children’s development D2 A non-judgemental approach to practise- this means to make a conscious effort not to be critical of the actions or thoughts of others. It is important to keep a non-judgemental approach because you will be working with children; it’s not good to judge others in front of children because they may copy your behaviour. It is not good to judge children either; this can cause them to be upset and self conscious of them selves. Time keeping and attendance- Timekeeping and attendance is extremely important in an Early Years setting, for both the children and the members of, many people rely on you to be carrying out your responsibility- this includes the team, the parents and the children.

Does attachment theory provide a sound basis for advice on how to bring up children?

Pg 1 of 7 Gail Adams T.M.A 03 U7740974 Does attachment theory provide a sound basis for advice on how to bring up children? One crucial concept of bringing up children is attachment. British psychologist John Bowlby (1907-90) developed the attachment theory and argued that a basic characteristic of human need was to form strong emotional bonds with particular individuals, deprivation of secure attachments through separation, bereavement or emotional distance he believed caused disruption to a child's development. Mary Ainsworth(1985) a student of Bowlby extended upon his theories focusing on the nature and quality of attachment relationships between infant and primary caregiver. There have been many critiques to Bowlbys attachment theory and all will be examined in order to answer the question. The attachment theory will be looked at in respect to its practical implications for child rearing in the context of both family members and day care facilities. Evidence from research has provided information about factors which form the foundations of secure and insecure attachments these have implications for different types of child care. Very early, children develop internal working models, internalised ideas about the nature of their relationships with primary caregivers, they base these on former interactions and experiences (Bowlby,1969). These models remain

Intellectual development

Intellectual development Intellectual development is also known as mental development or cognitive development. This type of development is where the child expands the mind where he/she can recognise, reason, know and understand things. Day by day the child's mind develops. Each day the child learns about people, things, new skills, how to communicate, memories and gain more experiences. As the child's mind develops, he/she becomes more intelligent. How intelligent the child becomes will depend on two main factors. * Genes - these control the amount of natural intelligence he/she has. * Environment - the uses the child makes of his/ her intelligence will be very much influenced by the environment in which he/she grows up. Throughout childhood, the genes and environment continuously interact to produce people whose minds develop in a great variety of ways. E.g., some children are very artistic or musical talent, some are talented at languages or maths, high academic ability, cleverness with the hands and some have a good understanding of people and their problems. You should help develop your child's mind by: * Talk to the child. * Play with them. * Sit him/her up somewhere were they could see what is going on around them. * Let them play with toys and other objects to handle and investigate. * Allow him/her to practice new skills. * Read and tell them stories

The Debate

The Debate Host: Welcome to tonight's show. We have for you tonight two people who are arguing about the question of "Should a Man be a Mother and More Involved with the Children?" First we have Rick Sanders, hi Rick. Second we have Julie Highfield, hi Julie. Rick, what do you think about being a male mother and how has it affected your life? Rick: Hello, thank you for including me tonight's debate. I am personally really enjoying being a male mother. I love spending time with my daughter. I think that this affected me a great deal because before I hardly saw my wife or child because of work. Now because I have exceeded my work amount I have quit my job and have become a full time male mother. I think that being involved with your own children is a great start for their lives and it gives you a great feeling that you belong, but this cannot be said in any discussion and believed you have to try it. I also enjoy the freedom to go to great places with her and have an experience that not many other men get to see. You see I like being the only man at the welfare clinic, it makes me feel special. Julie: Mr. Sanders, what you have been feeling and enjoying is all to do with the way in which you treat and help your daughter within this crucial time in her and your lives. These things are enjoyful at the start and then eventually it runs out in some cases. I've seen it

Analyse and explain the work of one Christian agency working for world development

Analyse and explain the work of one Christian agency working for world development World Vision is one of the world's leading aid and development charities. It was founded in 1947 by the American missionary Bob Pierce after he took a life changing trip to China and Korea in 1947. In its core values it states that it is a Christian organization that acknowledges one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The organization maintains its Christian identity but is sensitive to the diverse contexts in which it works. It is committed to the poor and to working with the poor towards fullness of life. In 2003 its total income was £42,223 of which £ 23,941 was from voluntary sources and £ 7,518 came from government grants. World Vision runs both long term programmes (area development programmes) and emergency programmes. Area development programmes (ADPs) cover large areas which involve several villages and communities. These projects last up to 15 years. The funding for ADPs mainly comes from child sponsorship which enables World Vision to help the whole community. World Vision's main aim is to help communities to develop their skills and confidence so they are able to manage their own development long after World Vision has finished it work in that particular area. An example of one of World Vision's ADPs is World Vision's new sponsorship program in Sacaca in the county of Ibañez,

Emotional development

Emotional development Emotional development is the development of the Childs ability to control their feelings. Emotions are very hard for a child to express; they usually use facial expressions to show how they feel. There are good emotions and negative emotions for example; contentment, humour, eagerness, love and delight are positive emotions, whereas anger, jealousy, fear, hate, sadness and depression are negative emotions. These emotions can be shown in different ways. If we are happy, then we laugh or smile, if we are frightened, we may cry or scream. Our emotions are influenced by our inborn temperament, which depends on the genes a child inherits. For example some children are naturally excitable. It also depends on their environment, which is the surroundings their in and the conditions they grow up in. finally it is influenced by the child's state of health. So when a baby is ill they will have different feelings to when they are feeling well. There is another factor that in most cases affects some of the child's emotions and this is whether the child is a boy or a girl because boys are taught to hide their emotions whereas girls are taught to show how they feel and to express their emotions. For proper emotional development a child needs the love and affection of their parents, family, other adults it depends on and perhaps friends. The feeling

The Sixth Sense

It must be difficult to cast films where the central character is a young child, particularly when the role is so emotionally demanding. In the case of Avy Kaufman, she either got very lucky or made an inspired choice by casting Haley Joel Osment. He plays Cole Sear and owns the screen for the large majority of the show. Cole is tormented but it isn't until about half way through the film that we find out it is because he can see the dead. And to an eight-year-old, being visited by disturbed, maimed and angry spirits is horrifying. It's made all the worse because he has no one he can turn to for support. He is the only one who can see ghosts and his behavior has made him a freak in the eyes of his classmates and teacher. The film starts with a frightening glimpse of what Cole may become. Renowned child psychologist Dr Malcolm Crowe has a grim reunion with a former patient. An unstable child of yesteryear, Vincent Gray, has grown into a fractured and psychotic adult who wants nothing more than to remind Malcolm of his failure, before killing himself. The reminder takes the form of a bullet in his doctor's stomach. We catch up with the good doctor, played superbly by Bruce Willis, about a year later. (This role is not unlike that Willis had in The Color of Night, although in this case his character is a gentler soul.) Malcolm is reviewing his case notes on young Cole,
