Unit 7 Perds Childcare

P7 working class 2 Write a short report on how youre setting promotes demonstrable images of children and reflects a assorted golf-club. Include in your report P7. 5 Explain how the setting promotes supportive images of children and reflects a diverse society An image which presents a mixture of cultural backgrounds coming together such(prenominal) as an Asian and saturnine girls playing together, this will show children that they are able to play with different races and therefore a unequivocal image.Promoting a positive image is important especially in settings which work closely with children because once a child enters a setting they take interest in the images and objects around them, and by chaffering images that celebrates different cultures and background will teach the child and allow them to see how opposites live and play together. To prompting positive image my setting takes pictures of the children interacting with each other through play and work. Once the chi ld and other children see this on display they parallel the same thing because of the positive effect it has had on them.This helps to build childrens self-esteem through play because now they will be able to interact with a set astir(p violenticate) of different children and frame a wider friendship group. It is important for settings such as nurseries to reflect on the mood they promote positive images because the images that a child sees at an early age can influence behaviour. check to public opinion journalist Walter Lippman the little picture we carry around in our heads. Children will then start to relate life to that image the now have in their heads.Nurseries should incorporate images around the dry land so that children can have a better find outing of those around them, also that the children dont assume that the sensation image that they setting has is the right image for them or the characters that they see on Walt Disney such as Cinderella, sleeping beauty a nd snow white is the appropriate way for a young lady to dress or behave as a damsel in distress. Walt Disney presents young ladies as sexual beings that cannot help themselves just now wait for that handsome prince to come and save them.Girls are passed images like this from a young age with creates that sort image in their head which can affect their behaviour the way they imply and act as they grow through their adolescents and adult years. Creating a diverse society by welcoming every family, unheeding of their sexual orientation, family status, religion, race and ability will allow the every child and family member to feel find in that setting. This also allows children from an early age to actualize that every child is an individual and has their feature ability.This is wherefore we have a accept poster which has a number of ways in which parents and staff welcome each other, this encourages and shows that the setting is welcoming. P7. 6 Describe a resource 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 considered 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 photo sends the message to children that the colour of a individual skin doesnt determine who or can be in their family. The media is a strong resource which in umteen ways controls the childs sub-conscious minds. Through media we are now able to see a more positive and hardheaded image of the world we live in. This summer was the 2012 Paralympics, showed on television live for the first time, this showed people who were deemed disable to overcome the impossible in their lives.The Paralympics showed people without limbs, trail races, swimming laps and the visually impaired playing football. The media holds umpteen connection to what humans se e and keep 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 book corners or librarys, containing a number of books from based on different cultural background such as the well-known write up 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 presently 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 about the set up 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 vulnerable 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 char are able to defend for themselves, male and female are equals and they fight crime together such as Shrek and princess Fiona. This image shows both girls and boys that they are equal also that not all girls are woebegone and vulnerable, boys dont have to be the hero. I had not realised how wide-spread gender stereotyping is. Properly because I am so used to seeing it all the time, I did not truly 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 easy image e. g. a family with mixed races from around the world, a simple comment such as we are fam ily could slowly show a child that diversity is a good thing, besides if the comment was that arent right, they dont look the same, will create in the childs mind that every member of a family has too look the same.I think that in hereafter 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 TWO (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 zip with scissor in his hand, I stopped the child and told the practitioner once I told the practitioner and she at once 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 apply for their schooling play, and others thought it was a game. The practitioner then explained to children that they are sitting on the carpet because of what she was told that someone was running with scissors. She then asked the children if scissors are dangerous. 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 rule where broken that someone could get seriously hurt. At my lowest lesson I was able to take part in going a school trip to the raw(a) museum with the nursery class. The day before the trip I helped the practitioners in the class to set up a miniature course course, by placing red, yellow and squirt cones on either side of the playground. The three cones be the traffic light I also placed images of the red and green man on the horizontal surface on the opposite side of the playground.My job was to control the red/green men, as the practitioners explained to th e children, the instruction and the mathematical function of each individual sign and their jobs we began the drill. I watched the practitioner get the children in to peers as they will be the next day, once the children were ready and settled the children where walked around the pretend road side, once they came across me at the traffic lights I Held over my head the red man as the practitioner as the children what the attribute 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 activities or experiences in practice My first experience was not a planned activity but was effective in its own way it was a ffective 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 second activity was very effective because it created a pretend scenario for the children which they will encounter 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 needs more explanations. If I was to repeat this activity, I would allow the childre n to pick which symbol or sign they think it correct for at blockage 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.
