Competency Goal 3:

To support social and emotional development and to provide positive guidance.

Functional area 8

Self:

Candidate provides physical and emotional security for each child to know, accept
and take pride in himself or herself and to develop a sense of independence.

I provide all children with an emotionally and physically safe and secure environment
in which they will thrive, being able to develop their own sense of self. I do this by
smiling and greeting all children by name in the morning. I make sure that every child
gets some one on one attention when I can express appropriate physical touch and
enjoyment in them being in my classroom. I express my own emotions and respond to
the children’s emotions, valuing their feelings and helping them express what they are
feeling. But above all I make sure that every child feels secure in my room by keeping
routines and discussing any unusual events in advance.

With the mobile infants I respond to their noises and cries, taking care and responding
to the best of my ability making sure that they learn that their needs are met. I make
sure to get to know every infant and the routines and positions the child likes, creating a
trusting and blossoming emotionally and physically secure. I provide mobile infants
with a calm and supporting environment making sure each child feels comfortable and
has opportunities where they can succeed, minimizing obstacle which would frustrate
them. I provide toddlers with self exploring opportunities in which they can succeed,
recognize there pleasure in new skills and support them to express their feeling in an
appropriate way.
Functional area 9

Social

Candidate helps each child feel accepted in the group, helps children learn to
communicate and get along with others, and encourages feelings of empathy and
mutual respect among children and adults.

I provide an environment in which children can enjoy positive social interactions


through modeling, I have positive interactions with my co-workers the parents of the
children , other supportive staff and most important of all with all the children. I
encourage children to share and ask what they want from their friends. If need be I help
them solve situations by encouraging them to express their feelings to others. I
encourage all children to play with each other while respecting each other’s rights.

I show respect for young infants by looking them in their eyes and utilize every
moment, feedings, diapering etc to engage with the infant and communicate and
respond. I help mobile infants to play with each other, and when one infant is sad I
encourage them to comfort the other child. At the same time, because infants don’t
understand the concept of sharing yet, I keep more then one of each toy in my room
thus minimizing conflict. With the toddlers I encourage them to share and play together
giving each other turns and helping them find the right tools to resolve any conflict that
might arise while playing together.

Functional are 10:

Guidance

Candidate provides a supportive environment in which children can begin to learn


and practice appropriate and acceptable behaviors as individuals and as a group.

I provide children with clear developmentally appropriate expectations. I focus on


giving children positive guidance by encouraging positive behavior and redirecting the
children if necessary. I see every child as a good child, I always use encouraging words
to enforce good behaviors and if necessary I will point out inappropriate behavior and at
the same time give appropriate suggestions or guide the child to come up with them. I
will for example tell the child that we cannot kick our friend but at the same time
discuss what is appropriate to kick or what behaviors are appropriate to get attention
from the other child or teacher.

For the young infants I make sure to always respond to them in a loving and caring way.
Comforting them and building a positive relationship so that they will be able to
respond to positive guidance from me or other adults once they reach that level. With
the mobile infants I put them in situations in which they can succeed, providing them
with expectations they will understand. I try to only say no to the children in the case
that there is a possibility of anyone getting hurt otherwise I try to redirect them to
positive behavior. Toddlers start to understand more, I explain to them why we have
certain rules, I will let them know that we can’t kick because that will be hurtful to
others. I also encourage children to do the positive, I encourage them to use an inside
voice rather than telling them not to scream. Like an infant I will distract toddlers and
redirect them in a playful and fun way.
