Hi, a warm welcome to silkysteps.

When your assessor or tutor pops in to see you do this they'll maybe observe you supporting children & young peoples confidence & self esteem by ..
  • smiling at children and making eye contact with them
  • lowering yourself bodily to communication at the same height
  • welcoming children when they approach you
  • respond to children's requests positively and offer guidance and help when needed
  • show patience, understanding and know how not to prematurely judge events, opinions, happenings
  • use praise and congratulate
  • use activities to challenge and motivate children appropriately
    - suggest ideas to extend a competency .. maybe moving from a 10 piece jigsaw to 20 piece
    - support children in extending a competency with suggestions .. climb steps/ navigate a balance beam without hand-holding or moving gradually to that goal by using the minimal amount of hand contact that provides a reassurance
  • show genuine interest in what children are doing, exploring, learning about, discussing, suggesting
  • challenging discrimination and help others see why equality & inclusion are good
Hth, enjoy the site xx
