Presentation transcript:

All families should be recognized as their child’s primary educator. They should always be supported through important and exhausting work of raising young children by their teachers. Child caregivers are in positions to play an essential role providing this support. Child care has been called “the new extended family” (Galinsky & Hooks, 1977) since modern families often depend on their children’s providers for help and advice on parenting. The concept of diversity and the role of families were introduced in Module 1. To review, diversity includes differences in family make-up, culture, income, race, religion, abilities, resources, and school involvement. The word “families” will be used in place of “parents” to be more inclusive of the variety of primary caregivers, such as grandparents, step-parents, aunts or uncles, and others.

Really hearing families (active listening), using I statements when talking to families Create and environment of continuity, with consistent expectations and approaches

The Child Needs…Caregiver’s Actions A plan for separation Plan ahead for this separation work. Talk with the family member who brings the child to child care. Their parent to say good-bye Find a team member or another trusted adult to help out with the other children. The caregiver to be close and attentive Suggest the parent stay 3 to 10 minutes to listen and calmly assure their child that they will return. Time to cry and be cared for Relax, listen, and offer eye contact and connection. To hear that “Mommy (Daddy, Grandma) is always coming back, and I (Caregiver) will take good care of you.” Watch for progress. For some children it will take time so welcome the opportunity to offer connection and time to cry over many days. An emotionally secure caregiver Make regular, frequent time to be listened to yourself. A trusted friend, supervisor, relative, or co-worker can listen while you reflect on what gets hard about separations, crying, and tantrums-- what happened in your own childhood around similar issues? And you can listen in return, to give them an opportunity to explore their thoughts and feelings on any topic they choose. Transitions can be a stressful time for a child, parent and teacher. Knowing how to act to help support the child and parent can make this transition easier. When you know what the child needs it may be easier to respond- use this chart the help guide you…. List ways you have helped during transitions. Include them with Module 5 Assessment
