Many transitions experienced are part of growing up and also come with certain challenges. However these transitions are not always done alone, they may be supported by peers/adults. The majority of children go through transitions easily with the support of others. If children are unable to cope with transitions they may show different types of emotions/behaviour, this may include the following- A child may behave differently to what they usually would. Sometimes children will want to tell you things before their parent does. At times a child will regress and may need help with tasks that they have been able to do quite easily in the past. A child may express their concerns through stories/drawings. Question: Question

The ECAT will offer parents concepts about how to support their child’s early language development such as using activities, books, library visits, story sessions and songs. Linking play and learning from in the setting to at home, the ECAT will provide the practitioners with confidence to support the parents more effectively; they are also supported by the local early language consultant for any advice, training or support. Suffolk county council presented results from a survey undertaken by the Communication Trust Charity that asked 349 teachers and found that only 27% had received training around Language, Speech and Communication. A further study stated that 81% felt they would benefit from more training in this area (2014). The ECAT plans to support children from the earliest intervention so that if there are any difficulties they can be prevented in the first place or detected early so that they are given the appropriate help.

Explain the importance to children’s holistic development of Speech, language and communication This development is important for children’s holistic development as this will help the children to socialise and help them express what they like and need, this will get them to have more sense about the world. If the child can communicate this will help them with their confident and self-esteem levels as they can talk about how they feel.it is important for children to use their own language skills and not to listen to other all the time and this could put their development back. Adults should praise children a lot so they have the encouragement try new things but it is important you adults to give them feedback so that they can learn from right and wrong.
When undergoing transitions there can be a range of effects that children experience and can be observed. Effects which can be seen can be either short or long term. Different measures may be put in place to ensure that each child undergoing a transition is fully support and able to successfully get through the period of change. It is perhaps a common misconception by adults that children are quick to adapt and will therefore not be affected by a transition but this not always the case. Most children handle transitions incredibly well
This language is closely related to social and cognitive skills. The use of language in a child 's vocabulary often reflect the language that
Children are able to develop and practise motor skills and bodily movements through physical plays. During some cognitive games, such as board games and educational toys, children can improve their mental fitness and brain function. Play also provides opportunities for children to make friends, to negotiate with others, and to develop their communication skills. It helps extend language and improve children’s social ability. I believed that play is essential to children’s education that cannot be minimized and separated from learning.
This book provides a very thorough, methodical discussion of how young children can develop literacy through play activities within a literacy-rich environment that has been designed with purpose. The role of early childhood teachers, in such an environment, is to discover teachable moments during children’s play and other child-centered experiences and take advantage of those moments to facilitate the children’s literacy development. Chapter One reviews the role of various types of “play” in children’s development and defines the developmentally appropriate practices, which are: understanding children’s patterns of growth to inform knowledge about learning and development; knowing each child’s individual strengths, needs, and interests; and knowing each child’s sociocultural context for living and growing. The different types of play include exploratory play, where play activities are repeated to affirm their mastery of their new abilities; constructive play, where objects are created out of play material; and dramatic play, where children engage in pretend roles using objects, actions, and words.
As children learn they learn through experience, with each new experience they are learning about people, places, objects, and events. Through these experiences, they learn language. In your response,
In the case of children, how parents, teachers or other significant people in their environment can help those children. Although during this phase psychologists have ideally drawn reasonable explanations regarding the nature and the causes of the problem; it is important to also include the strengths that the child has. This could be useful when developing an intervention plan. Depending of the main features of the problem (i.e. behavioural, physiological reactions, or cognitive) the focus of the treatment can be modified to suit each child.

Allow them to observe rather than participate, formulate ideas in their head and speak when they’re ready, and try your hardest to understand
Just like when having conversations with children can help gain information about a child’s home life or development, listening can do the same. It is very important to really listen to a child either when they are telling you something through conversation, or what they are telling their friends. When listening to children, just like when having conversations with them, you can assess their language development skills. Maybe if a child is shy and does not like to talk to the teacher, but rather talk to their best friend, it is important for the teacher to try and listen in on the conversation to see how their language skill is progressing. However, this is just one of the many ways listening can be a vital tool for a teacher.
Because it is hard to participate in social developing activities of play without talking to peers or classmates, language development is usually a common secondary part of this development area. Children use more words and complex sentences during play than they do in other types of classroom activities (Cohen & Uhry, 2007). The sheer practice of language in play is likely to promote communicative competence. Another theory to explain the contributions of movement to language is more basic (Iverson, 2010). When children move, according to this perspective, they act out, with their bodies, the structure and meaning words and sentences.
