Demonstrate understanding of how to interact and communicate with adults in a childcare setting.

Demonstrate understanding of how to interact and communicate with adults. When approaching adults certain things need to be taken into consideration such as giving your full attention when an adult is speaking, eye contact, responding in the appropriate manner and in general showing respect to that adult. These all are needed to show you understand and to become aware of what is being said to you if it is an important issue. Also this improves communication skills when talking to adults as in the future these skills will be put to test and certain things will reply on them. There was many different staff that all had different roles amongst the nursery where I did my placement. Communication varied amongst different members of staff depending on what their role was. However the pressure eased a little as I soon found out there were other members of staff working there just like as they were college students who were doing NVQ's so therefore this gave me the ability to start speaking to them informally as I would with any other friend I would usually talk to. Thinking about a suitable subject to talk about didn't bother me as I could be myself amongst them. As the days went by I noticed that most members of staff were just a few years older than me and that I had no need to talk to them formally as they would speak to me informally like I was just another friend. However

I am going to develop an action plan for Sarah Macintosh. She is 22 and single. Sarah is slightly overweight

Action plan I am going to develop an action plan for Sarah Macintosh. She is 22 and single. Sarah is slightly overweight and despite her best efforts and 5 GCSEs cannot find a job she is happy with, she is slightly picky however. At the moment she is living with her single parent sister and her 2 children and their little dog but she is not happy with where she lives and would like to get a house of her own someday. This however is very hard because she is in huge debt and can barely afford food, often borrowing money from her sister. She can't stop buying unnecessary items of clothing from expensive designer labels. The debt and lack of independence and space has leaded her to deep depression. She understands that she is not healthy and rated her own health as 2/5 and admitted to not eating enough fruits or vegetables. She doesn't exercise but has shown some interest in trying new sports. She is a heavy smoker and has attempted to stop but still smokes a significant amount of cigarettes, wasting her money and making her ill. She has made it clear she has previously attempted to make improvements to her life (dieting, cutting down on cigarettes and eating five fruit and vegetables) but hasn't followed through and has given up or failed. To lead a happier and healthier life Sarah needs to start off by quitting smoking she should do this by first reducing the amount of

Diversity and Explain the potential effects of discriminatory practice on those who use health or social care service.

Diversity can be differences in race, heritage, customs, belief systems, physical appearance, mental capabilities, etc.. Diversity should be respected and valued because nobody is completely the same as anyone else, even within the categories above. People tend to reject what is different. Our differences/diversities can lead to growth as a society or it can lead to violence and hatred. We must value our diversity in order to work together for the common good of our society/world. Diversity provides options in life and helps thwart hard times and circumstances by allowing a person to be flexible in how to overcome obstacles instead of staying in the same trench without the ability to move out of it. Diversity means differences such as different religious beliefs, different cultural traditions, music, art, dancing etc. In the context of society and culture, diversity is usually mentioned in discussing multicultural societies. What do people from other cultures contribute when they migrate and become part of a new society. The effects of social class can be felt anywhere. Almost every aspect of society is influenced in some manner by social class. The television shows one watches, and the clothes a person buys affect social class. School, work, religious, and home lives are also linked to the influence of social classes. Schools and the workplace are greatly influenced by

predictable and unpredictable major life events on the development of the individual

Life span and development Unit 4 Michael Lewis Task 3 (p3)- Describe the influences of two predictable and two unpredictable life events on the development of the individual. Major life events- Predictable and unpredictable events Major life events can be positive and negative and can be unpleasant, frightening, confusing and unsafe at times. Unpleasant stuff happens to all of us wether its predictable or unpredictable by feeling in control and able to organise, learning to cope with changes in life, coping with a physical changes. Predicted events of a teenager: When a child is born they are predicted to move on with their life and live it the best possible way they can. Any major changes can influence development positively within their life, as they grow. When they start secondary school they would want to make new friends and cope with the changes that would come ahead of them, which is known as positive learning. However, there could be risks of stress because no-one might let him/her hang around with them or he/she don't fit in with any group which is painful and makes them feel lonely and anxious; sometimes worthless. Perhaps no one listens to them - then he/she feel that no one cares. This may not really be happening but it feels that way and it hurts. They may feel angry at the world and even stay away from the people you know which lowers their

Unit 4: Development through the life stages P2: Explain the potential effects if 5 life factors on the development of an individual. It can be hard in today's society to grow up without being affected by it. From environmental factors to your lifestyle there's bound to be something that will stop you from growing up the way you would without these factors. Genetic Factors: Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of children and. It is a defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body breakdown and absorb food. Physically: It may stop a student from taking part in sports and going on a night out with their friends, it will also be similar for an adult, perhaps interfere with their job and roles i.e. being a parent. Intellectually: It may stop a teenager from going to school/college and with adults it may stop them going into work for long periods of time Emotionally: if you had an illness that you knew you could only ease and not get rid of you would become fed up and depression may be as result of this in both teenagers and adults.

Describe the ideal relationship between parents and children. How do you appreciate your parents and how do they appreciate you?

Lil Maisky Year 11 Parenting: -Describe the ideal relationship between parents and children. -How do you appreciate your parents and how do they appreciate you? (400 words) Any ideal relationship is based on the appropriate balance in between the commitment and effort of both members concerned. However, the relationship between a parent and child is far more complicated as there is a large amount of responsibility involved. Also, the child is likely to resemble one or both of the parents to a certain extent, but not be as developed or experienced as the parent, thus adding a lot of competition and argumentative aspects to the relationship. This can be more prominently observed when two members of the same sex are involved (mother and daughter...) As the age of the child increases, the responsibility of the parent decreases, most probably proportionally, and this has to be observed by the parent. One has to take into consideration that the child's young years are all that he/she has experienced and that although it's existence might only go back as far as a tiny fraction of the parents life, this cannot be understood by the child until a certain age. Therefore, when a child is growing up, it is developing and learning everything at such a quick rate in proportion to the adult's standards that the parent might not realise when it has to use more lenience in the

Influences on personal learning

Influences on personal learning What the different types of learning styles are. One of them is auditory learners that means that people learn by being explained to by their teacher or reading out a piece of text that they have been given to read will help them to understand it more. When they are doing work or studying for a test listening to music can help them to concentrate or a quite area because they might get easily distracted by the noise and things happening around them. Another learning style is visual learners they work best by watching people do thing so they know how it is done also by reading something for themselves and not being told what the piece of text says because they might find it hard to concentrate as well as looking at pictures is a good way for them to learn. The last learning style is kinaesthetic learners it is best for them to learn is by them being active in what they are learning for example doing practical lessons in science or any other subject also when something getting explained to them writing note help them understand it better. Some things that may influence the way that I learn for example is teacher that are in schools for example if I was tort by a teacher which always said that my work was wrong and never gave the praise me then that could affect the me by not trying my hardest in that lesson or the I could just stop doing that

Barriers of Communication

Cultural Differences are a barrier to communication, it is a variation between cultures because people come from different backgrounds, and have different beliefs and opinions. Some people may think your being racist because of the way you speak to them and if you argue back to them about their opinions and beliefs, they may get offended. Cultural Differences also means the way people dress, their religions, interests and the kind of food they may eat. Some people from different cultures are vegetarians, and some people such as Muslims can only eat Halal food. They may also listen to different kinds of music, in other languages. A way to overcome this barrier is to respect other people's opinions and beliefs. Foreign languages are languages that come from other countries. Foreign languages are a barrier to communication, e.g. you might speak to someone in English but the other person may speak in German with you so you wouldn't be able to communicate with them due to the language you speak in, this is a barrier to communication. A way to overcome this barrier is by using the individual's preferred spoken language to communicate or get an interpreter to help you. If someone has disabilities, you wouldn't feel comfortable talking to them because if they are blind you wouldn't have eye contact and if they are deaf you wouldn't know how to explain something to them. You should
