Ascend Schools’ Post

Educators should role-model respect in all conversations around children, regardless of the position they hold. Common mistakes may include: 〰️ Talking about children and their developmental stage in front of them or around other children. 〰️ Talking about parents, carers or educators behind their back. 〰️ Talking about their wild social life, although child-friendly conversations about catching up with friends and family and doing things they enjoy are appropriate. 〰️ Not hearing a child call their name because they are too busy chatting with another educator. Educators should also be careful to hold sensitive conversations with families somewhere private and these conversations should only be shared if they support the wellbeing of a family of child. If wider staff need to be involved to manage a situation, then these conversations should be held with staff in a more formal meeting, with the appropriate confidentiality settings in place. #preschool #fdc #oosh #ozearlyed #earlyyears
