I need to let the child know I care and help them the best I can. If a student is falling asleep in class or skipping homework If I build a relationship with them and their parents I already have an idea on what’s going on and can come up with solutions to try and
I whole-heartedly agree with Moran when she states that, “the absence of trust impedes effectiveness and progress” (99). People need to be able to rely on one another and feel that what they are saying has value. Also, teachers want to know that administrators are going to put into place the steps in order to reach a goal if that is what they say they are going to do. Finally, parents and students need to have trust in the system which is often difficult when the system has failed them in the past. Therefore, establishing and maintaining this trust in each other is paramount to running a successful student-centered school.
Developing positive relationships is extremely important because: it promotes shared understanding and co- operation; it promotes self-worth and self-confidence; it creates boundaries; it enables others to carry out tasks; it allows one to give and receive information in order to resolve conflicts; people are aware of how to carry out a task; it creates a happy and comfortable feel for all people involved. Especially when working with children, it is considered really important for an adult to sit next to a child in order to belay information, rather than stand above them. By doing this, the child will see the situation
There are a number of organisations that support and work with children and young people who will have a range of different needs, for example disabilities and special educational needs. These organisations liaise with one another, to share the invaluable knowledge and experience that they have gained through working with children and families, they also promote pupil support and community cohesion. These organisations also give advise and guidance to teachers and all other staff in the schools. It has to be all about ways of working together to guarantee children and young people additional support and to have the right professional in place to be able to support them. The kind of professionals that work along side schools will
Homework policy outlines the roles in which a parent involved with their children’s learning and supporting the child by providing appropriate resources, in which the child will need to complete their homework and making sure it is handed in on time. Attendance policy is for the parent to ensure that their child attends school regularly, unless they have an appointment or are unwell, in which you must inform the school as soon as possible. Authorised absences during term time are not automatically authorised. Home-school agreement has been a requirement since 1999 and is generally given to parents when their child starts school, it emphasises the role of the parents in supporting, how the school uses discipline and what is expected of the
In order to contribute a positive relationship it is essential to demonstrate and model an effective communication skill when dealing with children which means that considering both how the practitioner approach other people and responding the children. It is effectively more likely to communicate information to one another if having a positive relationship. Effective communication plays an important role in developing positive relation with children, young people and adults. It is also essential that the practitioner is interested in development of the children by using effective communication skills, building a positive relationship, approaching and responding in appositive manner, making feel comfortable or supporting which it’s required.
The skills needed to communicate with children and young people are listening, positive body language (nodding and sitting forward), eye contact, engaging fully in the conversation in a professional manner and offering feedback and able to talk and respond to children, young people or adults at their level of understanding which is appropriate to their age. It is highly important that you are sure that the person you are talking to understands what you are talking about and have asked them so that they can digest information and join in the conversation without feeling lost and that they are unable to follow you whilst you talk to them. For example sometimes you may need to speak clearly and concisely, using simple words for younger children

As a teaching assistant you can give children and young people the tools to building relationships by modelling appropriate behaviour. To encourage trust and understanding, it is necessary to ensure that children understand instructions. Whether for an activity or a fire drill, any miscommunication of instructions can lead to misunderstanding and feelings of unease. When giving instructions it is important to make them simple and concise so that children can remember them.
Since I worked with these students for an extended period of time, I was able to build a relationship with them that went beyond that of what some of the other tutors. It seemed like there was a bond of trust. The relationship was very similar to that of the children in my classroom. The 18 children in my classroom at work are more than just my students; they are a part of me.
Competency Standard III To support social and emotional development and to provide positive guidance Functional Area 8: Self I provide an emotionally and physically safe and secure environment where the children can thrive and develop their sense of self.

Build positive relationships with students will help establish a more comfortable classroom environment. Michie have put a great amount of effort at trying to get to know his students on a more personal level, such as through individual home visiting and personal questionnaires about each student’s likes and dislikes about school. In order for students to feel that the information is relevant to them, teachers should make connections and relate to real life examples. Michie uses his past classroom experiences to connect to his students and further sparks class discussion. Michie would try to relate to what the students were going through in their lives to get to know them better.
Between the periods of 1992 to 1996 there was a 56% increase in the number of support staff working in primary schools in England (DFEE, 1997). In my base school I have observed how the teaching assistants are used in the classroom. In my particular class there are two children who have English as their second language. In order to progress their language and writing skills to an appropriate level for their age groups, the teaching assistant does one to one guided reading with the two pupils. These pupils also get extra support with their writing over break time a few days per week.
Developmental Psychology has derived a term to describe the people, rituals, places etc. that surround one at any given point in time. In any institutional settings, the holding environment technically refers to a safe place where people can talk about their concerns to the environment and conditions they are undergoing so as to clarify assumptions, and challenges being faced by them. Hence, the good holding environment essentially builds up risk taking traits thereby providing security to the concerned i.e. supportive environment but uncomfortable in the same time as well. So, in a holding environment, the actor can feel as a different being and can discuss the problem
