Before being critical of teachers, parents and guardians must prepare the children under their care to be ideal students when they arrive at school. Setting high standards sends a strong, healthy message to children. If they do their part from the outset and their children are equipped to learn, parents can then, in turn, find fault with teachers who may not be holding up their end of the bargain.
In this supplement to the larger book, I offer simple but funda-mental guidelines for parents as they begin their childrearing years and gradually ease their children into the world of public school. On the topic of children with specific learning disabilities, please refer to a) Preface of Never Trust a Teacher, p. 3, and in this booklet to

I cannot over emphasize the vital need to prepare children academically, socially, and ethically so that all children can excel at learning. All children should feel not only physically, but intellectually safe and secure in their school environment.
By the latter, I mean that students need to feel prepared and confident that they can and will succeed in school as well or better than their classmates. Parents, by default, are granted both the responsibility and the enjoyment of empowering their children to be lifelong learners. Happily,
Literacy and Love Go Hand in Hand.
TIP #1. PRAISE & NAME YOUR CHILD IN A BEDTIME SERENADE. Make your children the star attraction of a song that you compose especially for them. Include their full name. Become a subtle but constant cheerleader for your children.
1.1 Begin when they are infants. Sing directly to them—softly and soothingly—just before they fall asleep. At the end of the song, ask your children to say their entire name. This will happen sooner than you think. In the meantime, until your children are talking, you can respond on their
We then went through the various ways to praise a child wither it be verbal praise or non-verbal, for example giving them a sticker. I can now understand the importance of praising children within the nursery as it can be very beneficial for there learning.

The children in a school are valued, with an environment that fully encourages and celebrates their learning and progression and how they are developing. The provision of a safe and secure learning environment for all its pupils should be provided through recognizing the importance of welcoming diversity and equal opportunities. The atmosphere within a school should be positive, with this being reflected in the attitudes of the staff and pupils, all caring for and taking pride in their surroundings and in how the learning journey of each pupil takes
Similarly, Capturing Kids' Hearts highlights how important it is to create a safe and caring classroom environment by developing
Parents, are you tired of feeling disconnected with your child or children? Don't worry! This guide will show you how to use reflective listening to connect with your children.

I believe that all children are individuals, unique in their abilities, from a wide diversity of backgrounds and cultures, and they also have the right to be treated with dignity and respect. Educators are observers and designers who have to observe children’s abilities, interests and learning styles for designing a curriculum that fulfill everyone’s needs. Observers also play an important role on noticing individual differences and offering help to children who have lower ability to improve
Due to this what could take place instead is for the early years practitioner to gather other resources for the children to use for the activity or to just to begin a different activity for the children to join in with. Staffing can become a barrier too. When playing with children it is important that at least another adult is in the room with you. If not then it could potentially have an impact on you completing the activity. If a child has a disability or
The textbook for this course, Infants, Toddlers, and Caregivers, is based on ten principles for child care that are outlined by researcher Magda Gerber in the 1970’s. The ten principles are based on a philosophy of respect. In addition to the ten principles, a caregiver should know the “Three-R’s” for interaction. The Three R’s are respectful, responsive and reciprocal.
The diversity of student backgrounds, abilities and learning styles makes each person unique in the way he or she reacts to information. The intersection of diverse student backgrounds and active learning needs a comfortable, positive environment in which to take root. Dr. King continues by explaining, “Education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.” From back then to today’s society, kids are failing because they lack those morals that they need to succeed.
The book also encourages children to love their school by being disciplined and acting in such a way they do not hinder the educational process. This will create a generation that has a positive outlook loves school and they relish education for it will make their lives better. Part
Praise your child when they share Children respond best to praise. • Praising your child when they are doing something positive will work much better than pointing out when they are not • Praise should be given for taking turns during a family game or sharing their pencils with a sibling. • Offer up praise regularly, even for very small gestures, for example, when you ask them to hand you the remote control or your glasses, for example. Make some toys communal Not every item has to be labelled as belonging to one particular person.
We must view the child as a whole, not just their intellectual capacity, and provide each student with every opportunity to succeed. As a leader I must be student-centered and be concerned with the betterment of each and every child in my school. As a leader it will be my responsibility to be
As a teacher, it is my responsibility to share information on the development of the child and have a clear and constant flow of dialogue with the family. This will enable both parties to deal with any issues that may arise within the family, school or community. It also my belief that parents should have an active part in their child’s learning and be able to lend a hand whenever necessary, and having open communication with them will allow this transparency and connection between home and school. The community is vital in ensuring that the facilities around the community and school is appropriate for the different children and families to live in and grow. A very good example of this successful collaboration is the Reggio Emilia approach in Italy.
