Morning dottyb,
Here is the rough copy for what I put for k3d310:
An emotionally safe environment is where children know there will be consistency and that the adults will be there for them. Children need to be able to learn how to control and express their feelings, but they also need to learn that the adults around them are there for them and will value them unconditionally. Children need to know that their feelings will be acknowledged not matter if they are positive or negative ones. Now a days there are quite a few children who go through a lot of changes and stress in their lives so creating a emotional safe environment for them is especially important.
There are a few responsibilities that a adult can do for creating a emotionally safe environment and they are: openness, trust and honesty. There are a few factors that can make a emotionally safe environment and these are as followed:
A sense of belonging
Consistent relationships
Safe boundaries
Unconditional acceptance
Valuing children's families
Warm team interactions
Not only do these factors make an emotionally safe environment but a psychologically safe environment as well.
Here is the rough copy for what I put for k3d314:
I would do this by going slowly and not rushing myself or the Child and to try and make sure they know you are there for support.
Doing this through an activity is always useful and also working with a group of children who can work together and support each other. Also having peer support is a good method for children to learn from.
You could take the activity one step further by adding new resources or allowing the child to practice the same skill again by using different resources provided. Fine Motor skills can be developed by sorting activities using small items to start with and then moving to larger items . For example counters are used at first, then small blocks, then beads that need threading- essentially this is the same activity but interest is maintained by slight alterations. If the activity proves too difficult then altering it and working through small steps can often lead to the same way to achievement. You must praise and use lots of encouragement throughout each stage that is achieved.
Praise and encouragement for the things they can do and praise and encouragement for the fact of trying a task that is difficult even if they do not succeed is always important for building self-esteem.
To keep an eye on how the child is doing through each activity you could use a tick list of skills for the age of the child in order to monitor it.
I hope this sort of likes help you.
