what about children being able to deal with conflict hun?? supporting them?? as a childminder you do this all day every day ! dont underestimate yourself you are in the perfect position to talk about this. what do you do when they argue, how do you deal with it what ideas do you give them for next time. childminders are my favourite students they have so many skills and so much experience

Hi I'm a childminder too, the skills you have are more than enough to get you through this so don't worry! This question was about helping children to deal with conflict themselves so this is what I put -Encouraging children to deal with and resolve their own conflict helps to teach them the skills to form and maintain positive relationships with others. Younger children may need to be helped to see the reason for the conflict and the other persons point of view and feelings. Making suggestions and asking them open questions can help them to think of a solution to resolve the conflict. Older children can be encouraged to think about the situation and offer their own suggestions on the best course of action to resolve it.
Hope this helps

remember an nvq can be tailored to your own needs and if you have a good assessor she will allow you to prove most of your competence and knowledge through observations and prof discussions. you shouldnt have to write too much at all your portfolio should be thin!
