The importance of a person centred and inclusive approach is that you are looking at the individual child and the needs of that child. The child centred approach promotes the right of the child or young person to choose, make connections and communicate, this will help me to plan for their individual needs. Children’s wishes should be taken into account during decision making to give them a sense of belonging and not to be made to feel as though it’s them who’s to blame this should be done in a sensitive manner and they should be listened to and used to find out how they are feeling and what they would like. Sometimes although not very often young children may even be involved in more serious issues including their own protection, this can be difficult if a child is very young or if a child has barriers that stop them communicating. A child centred approach allows the child, young person to think, experience, explore, question and explore for answers in the direction of play that they wish to experience rather than us directing play.
not sure if this helps any??
