In an Early Years Setting it’s the practitioner's role to maintain health, safety and care for the children in the environment. All settings should provide fruit and milk to benefit their health in their early start to life; this will benefit the child eating the right nutrients to help them progress in their development. Not only this but it’s essential to have healthy, enjoyable menus throughout the day and to safeguard them against obesity, diabetes and so forth. Through my placement, it seemed important that the parents were aware what they should put in their child’s lunch box and how beneficial it was to a child’s mood, cravings and abilities throughout the day. If we didn’t choose menus appropriately, it would create significant issues …show more content…

All children must have their personal needs met by Practitioners. The care towards a child’s learning is crucial for their academic mindset; children must be challenged with work to improve their intelligence in the future. However, they must be helped if there is a gap in their learning development. It’s important to identify the care a child needs; this may be speech therapy or extra maths sessions. For Practitioners there are guidelines to suggest to them what levels the children are working at this is called the ‘Early Years Outcomes Guidance’ this will go on their reports and later help the teachers/practitioners/parents challenge their child to their full potential. This all comes down to care as it is a practitioner role to care for a child’s individual needs (whatever that may be) and their future leading to the next year or so. Last but not least, as well as caring for a child’s health, it is important to maintain their safety within the environment and potentially (by law) out of the

Unlike children, with her knowledge and research, Marshall was able to see right through the commercials and other advertisements for kid’s food products. Instead of seeing a fun ad for a cereal that almost all children ate, she saw the sugar, and the future flaw’s in children’s eating habits. According to Marshall, “The food manufacturers need to persuade parents to trust them. But they have an even greater need to influence the tastes of children very early on so that their sense of taste will lead them to these foods their entire lives, and food products will become their food culture” (page 64). She felt it was her duty to protect her son from this as much as she could, so that she would be able to teach him the right way to eat, and so that their traditional way of eating would not be lost in his

In the book, Getting A Healthy Start, Kalman said, “Nutrition is the food you eat and the nourishing elements it contains, and energy is the power your body needs to function, or work” (Kalman, p4.). Providing one’s body with healthy and nutritious foods is crucial because the body needs the nutrients in order to function properly. In Steingraber’s essay, Most Children Don’t Like Spinach, But I Am A Child Who Does, she enforces the idea that children should be exposed to healthy food because it provides children with the nutrients they need to grow. The author describes how her children’s eating habits and relationship with food are unlike most children. In Most Children Don’t Like Spinach, But I Am A Child Who Does, Steingraber argues that exposing children to healthy, whole foods can teach children to live a healthy lifestyle by using the following rhetorical

An integrated approach to social care with a focus on good teaching rather than quick fixes is exactly what I greatly supported. I strongly believe that attention to social problems supporting where possible along with good teaching will have a greater effect than any short-term interventions to attain a GCSE grade ‘C’ in mathematics. Of course it could equally be argued that a certificate in mathematics will also have a life long effect but the learning is short lived if not understood. Children in challenging or any circumstances need both. As identified by the Save the Children Fund in 20013, research from the Centre for Excellence and Outcomes in Children and Young People Services predicted the importance of good teaching

Every child has the ability to learn and develop. Having high expectations is especially important in achieving better outcomes for the most vulnerable children. Some children require additional support and different learning experiences and opportunities to help them learn and develop. If a staff member didn’t have a high expectation of a child in my work place I would challenge them and remind them that they took the role on and committed to high expectations for all the children’s learning and development and support which they would require, in my role and being a parent myself I can recognise that every child can learn, but some children require quite different opportunities and support to be able to do this, A.B when I first started
