Pretest: communication and child care

Health
1 answer:
Deffense [45]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

An important part of an early years childcare worker's job is the ability to communicate with a wide variety of people. The childcare worker must develop communication skills in order to work effectively with children, parents/carers, colleagues and other professionals. Good communication skills help with effective interaction.

Effective communication involves listening, understanding and responding to people. In order to develop listening skills, you need to pay attention to what's being said. You must think about what's being said and respond in a way that will encourage the person to keep talking. To show that they're paying attention, the childcare worker should ensure that they look at the person who's speaking and make eye contact without staring excessively. Asking questions will show an interest and it's important not to interrupt the speaker. You also need to make encouraging sounds and use short words or sentences.

Communication includes facial expressions and body language, e.g. gestures (non-verbal communication). You should respond to what's being said with facial expressions, e.g. a smile, a frown or a nod. A childcare worker can appear open, friendly or unfriendly depending on body language and tone of voice.

For others to be encouraged to listen, they need to feel comfortable so the childcare worker needs to make them feel at home. Standing too close to someone can make them feel uncomfortable, but standing too far away can give the impression that the childcare worker isn't interested in them. The body language of the listener can sometimes show whether or not they feel at home, and so you should try to respond appropriately to this.

Children often want to be close to an adult when speaking to them so the childcare worker should ensure that they go down to the children's level by sitting or crouching next to them. Standing above them can make them feel uncomfortable.

Key features of effective communication

listening carefully

seeing the effect of your words and gestures on others

demonstrating empathy

being non-judgmental

being considerate of other people's feelings and moods

adjusting your communication method to the person or scenario

Do you believe there should be a mandatory vaccination for HPV?
Anastasy [175]

Yes. It protects against 90% of cervical cancer in women, protects against 90% of genital warts in men and women, and protect against cancer in the genital area when you are older. Signs of HPV are genital warts and itching, but do not always show symptoms. It should be mandatory in my opinion because sexual partners are not always honest, and if a simple shot can prevent life threatening cancer it should be a necessity.

How effective is a new<br> toothpaste in reducing cavities
kykrilka [37]

Actually to reduce cavities you need to brush you teeth at least 3 times a day.

But if you don't want cavities, plaque, or enamel on your teeth you should buy a very effective toothbrush and mouthwash to kep your teeth nice and clean.

You don't want Teeth with all kind of cavities in it, right? You want shiny and clean teeth. And to answer you question it all depends on what toothpaste you buy. Sensodyne Pronamel Gentle Whitening Toothpaste.

That toothpaste is designed for sensitive teeth and whitens your teeth. But it all depends on the person who buys the toothpaste and which one they like.

The type of toothpaste I use is Ultrabrite with advanced whitening. But as I said before, it is what the person likes...

I hope this answer helped you! :)
