Unit 7 Perds Childcare

P7 Task 2 spell a short distinguish on how youre setting promotes exacting go steadys of tykeren and reflects a diverse society. Include in your survey P7. 5 formulate how the setting promotes supportive views of chel arn and reflects a diverse society An depiction which presents a salmagundi of cultural backgrounds coming to get goingher such(prenominal) as an Asiatic and black girls turn tailing together, this impart show fryren that they are fit to play with diametrical races and therefore a optimistic image.Promoting a positive image is important especi every last(p deprivationicate)y in settings which work closely with babyren because once a child enters a setting they take interest in the images and objects close to them, and by chitchating images that celebrates different cultures and background will teach the child and allow them to dupe how others live and play together. To prompting positive image my setting takes pictures of the children interacting w ith each other by play and work. Once the child and other children see this on display they repeat the corresponding occasion because of the positive effect it has had on them.This help oneselfs to build childrens self-esteem through play because now they will be able to interact with a range of different children and create a wider friendship group. It is important for settings such as nurseries to reflect on the focus they promote positive images because the images that a child sees at an early age can influence behaviour. fit to public opinion journalist Walter Lippman the little picture we carry nearly in our heads. Children will wherefore start to relate life to that image the now expect in their heads.Nurseries should incorporate images or so the copeledge base so that children can bring on a better infering of those around them, overly that the children founding fathert assume that the one image that they setting has is the right image for them or the characte rs that they see on Walt Disney such as Cinderella, sleeping beauty and ascorbic acid white is the appropriate way for a vernal lady to curry or be re cause as a damsel in distress. Walt Disney presents five-year-old ladies as versed beings that cannot help themselves alone wait for that handsome prince to condescend and save them.Girls are passed images like this from a young age with creates that stump image in their head which can affect their behaviour the way they think and act as they grow through their adolescents and adult years. Creating a diverse society by welcoming every family, regardless of their sexual orientation, family status, religion, race and ability will allow the every child and family share to feel welcome in that setting. This also allows children from an early age to understand that every child is an individual and has their own ability.This is why we have a welcome poster which has a number of ways in which parents and staff welcome each other, t his encourages and shows that the setting is welcoming. P7. 6 Describe a option which uses positive images The recent Christmas advert by M, included a child with Down syndrome, this images allows other children with Down syndrome and their families to see that they too can do what is con lieured normal, this image was then displayed as part of a mixture of images at my setting.An image which presents a mix of races in a family impression sends the message to children that the colour of a person skin doesnt construe who or can be in their family. The media is a strong mental imagery which in many ways controls the childs sub-conscious minds. Through media we are now able to see a more positive and realistic image of the world we live in. This summer was the 2012 Paralympics, showed on television live for the first clock time, this showed raft who were deemed disabled to overcome the impossible in their lives.The Paralympics showed people with out(a) limbs, running races, naia nt laps and the visually impaired playing football. The media holds many connection to what humans see and clutch in their minds, what newspapers print out, what shows advertise and how all add to the positive images we see today. At many of the settings I have worked in have take corners or librarys, containing a number of books from based on different cultural background such as the well-known story handas surprise this book shows a African girl planning to surprise her friend, this story shows children how to be kind, and nice. P7. Evaluate briefly your learning from finding information for this report For this report I researched the many different ways in which we see images, whether it be a positive or negative image. I learned roughly the effects on a child from the images they see in their settings, on the streets and in their homes. This report has made me to understand the effects of Barbie dolls and action figures have on a childs sub-conscious mind. Images of young vu lnerable beautiful ladies who find themselves in some sort of danger and the only way to get help are through a strong handsome man, these images presented time and time again by Disney.But images by presented by Dream works, where the woman are able to defend for themselves, male and female are bear upons and they fight shame together such as Shrek and princess Fiona. This image shows both girls and boys that they are equal also that not all girls are weak and vulnerable, boys dont have to be the hero. I had not make how wide-spread gender stereotyping is. Properly because I am so used to sightedness it all the time, I did not really question it or the influences pictures have on us.Images are seen through many resources such as the media which is a massive impact, what we see on bulletin board, adverts, posters in stores and parents. From this short report I was able to understand that an image might be positive or negative just by what a person says or the Picture portrays. A simple image e. g. a family with mixed races from around the world, a simple comment such as we are family could late show a child that diversity is a good thing, just if the comment was that arent right, they dont look the same, will create in the childs mind that every division of a family has too look the same.I think that in future when I see a new form of attraction whether through the media, books or toys that I will look closely at the aims that other I. e. parents and young children may not see. Task 3 P7. 8 Describe 2 (2) examples of activities or experiences which encourage childrens awareness of their own and others safety One day at my setting I witnessed a child running with scissor hold in his hand, I stopped the child and told the practician once I told the practitioner and she immediately call all the children to the carpet to talk to them.She asked them if they knew why she called them all to the carpet, many thought it were to charge for their develop play, and others thought it was a game. The practitioner then explained to children that they are seance on the carpet because of what she was told that someone was running with scissors. She then asked the children if scissors are vulnerable. The children replied in simultaneous voice, yes, she then asked should we through or run with scissors in our hands? The children replied no and where should the scissors stay when we want to move around the room? On the table. The practitioner then explained to the children that if these control where broken that someone could get seriously hurt. At my last lesson I was able to take part in going a school trip to the natural museum with the nursery secern. The day before the trip I helped the practitioners in the strain to set up a miniature passageway course, by placing red, yellow and green cones on either side of the playground. The terzetto cones represented the craft light I also placed images of the red and green man on the floor on the opposite side of the playground.My job was to control the red/green men, as the practitioners explained to the children, the instruction and the contribution of each individual sign and their jobs we began the activity. I watched the practitioner get the children in to peers as they will be the next day, once the children were ready and colonised the children where walked around the pretend alley side, once they came crossways me at the traffic lights I Held over my head the red man as the practitioner as the children what the symbolization meant. She also explained in detail why it is dangerous to cross when this symbol is show.Once the practitioner had finished explaining about the red man, could out the traffic light colours in descending order then swopped the red man for the green man. The practitioner then repeated the same explanation by about the green man, after she has explained she lead the children across safely. P7. 9 Reflect on the effectiveness of the activit ies or experiences in rule My first experience was not a planned activity but was effective in its own way it was affective in a way whereby the practitioner asked the children questions to identify what they knew about running in the class with sharp objects like scissors.From asking them questions the practitioner and my self was able to see that the children did know the rules but needed to be reminded. I think that if the class had posters of the rules in the class it would remind the children. In the future we can get the children to create their own posters on road safety. I feel that my twinkling activity was very effective because it created a pretend scenario for the children which they will find the next day. This activity explained the different symbols, why they are there to keep us safe.This activity also taught the children what to look out for and how to follow the road signs. By the practitioner asking the children questions she was able to notice who has started to understand the signs and who inevitably more explanations. If I was to repeat this activity, I would allow the children to pick which symbol or sign they think it correct for at point in time this is because it evolves the children and allows myself and other practitioners to see what the child may already know or has picked up.
