Hi,I'm having a real struggle with this course.Ive got a lot on my plate and needing to have both my assignments finished by thurs..any ideas on how to juggle with two jobs a child with learning difficulties,a young single mum for a daughter to whom is needing me very much to do all her washing and shopping along with babysitting when it all gets to much for her!!! I'm so uncertain as to whether this is all worth it to just earn the min wage at the end?? I'm so stubborn and hate to be seen as a quitter but this really is like teaching me to suck eggs..that said " why is stating the obvious so damned hard?" Please any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated..I'm stuck as to what to do I really am..xx

Did you give up..? I'm feeling the same at the mo.

Me to :( I have only just started and have so much work due in on the 28th Jan. How do people juggle everything ? I have 3 kids , i work , i need to keep the house ,cook dinner and care for my Nan . i know it will get esasier as i get my head used to learning again but at this present moment i just feel sick with it all

A good long chat to oneself
 

After a stressful few days of juggling my work, 4 children, a naughty dog and grumpy partner, decided to asess what I need to do and put my head down and get on with the job in hand..I can do this but sometimes I just need a bomb up the articles to get me back on track..email for positive minds approach..come on girls lets show them xx

Hi to Dassy and darlinghearty

Hi Val , I am doing ok, just waiting from more work now !! Completely opposite to how i was earlier in this thread :smile: I completed the large amount of work she gave me to begin , it was hard and i really struggled . I have done a few peices since and a couple of exams and it has all gone well xxx

Plodding on
 

Getting there,very slowly..had a few wobbles as so very busy..need to earn more than I do at the moment..even when finished I will only earn the min wage so really disappointed that all my hard work won't reflect in my wage packet..how do you all feel about our poor wage packets?? Let me know your thoughts xx:thumbsdow

Hi Val..I think we are mad I really do..when you think long and hard about it we must be..keep up the struggle and prove yourself wrong..YOU CAN DO IT x

am really struggling just understanding how to tackle the questions regarding this unit.Can someone just simplify it for me and tell me how to tackle this question !! Am finding the Nvq level 3 Playwork so hard am a a more mature student and struggling to get answers on paper! Help!

Hi, the ideal policy to have in place at a setting would promote equality, diversity and inclusion.

Do you have this handbook? pages 19+ help to look at everything this involves.

eg. an ideal policy would explain the terms diversity, equality, inclusion.

• It would comply with the law, regulation, princples & childcare sector's values & principles and be reviewed annually.
• It might describe the effects of discrimination, prejudice and state how inclusion promotes equality and diversity.
• It would state how practitioners ought to demonstrate respect for themselves and all others
• Model inclusive practice
• Support others - children, parents, colleagues
• It would offer guidance so that discrimination is challenged
• It might contain contact details on how to report discrimination, individuals/groups that offer training

The playwork handbook is also good reading


I hope this helps a little.

Are you able to ask anyone for a copy of their policies & procedures so you can see working examples?

Best wishes xx
