Some ways to engage in
meaningful interactions with the
infants and toddlers in your care.
Taking a moment each day to
think about how your
communication and behavior
affect the infants, toddlers,
and adults you interact with
is a powerful way to develop
your awareness and
responsiveness. Think about
how your personal
interactions might affect your
relationships
Slow
down
Life is busy, and you have
a lot to do each day. As a
caregiver, you provide the
extremely valuable service
of caring for infants and
toddlers. Instead of
constantly thinking about
what comes next, take a
deep breath to help
yourself consciously slow
down and fully experience
what is happening in the
moment.
Be
present
Being present means
taking a moment to clear
your mind of all
distractions so that your
focus is only on
connecting with children
(Dombro, Jablon, &
Stetson, 2011). With this
focus, you can think
carefully about responding
to individual children’s
cues and needs in that
moment.
Remember that being with
children is the first priority
Helping to support the growth and
development of the children in your care is
your greatest and most important role,
placing all other responsibilities second.
When you are faced with many tasks
throughout the day, it might be easy to be
distracted by doing laundry, cleaning cots, or
completing paperwork. It is not easy to be
present when other tasks need to be done.
Reminding yourself that being present with
children is the first and most important role
that you play helps you prioritize time and
the other tasks that need to be completed.
Take time to understand
children’s individual
needs
When working with infants and
toddlers, it is important to get
to know them as individuals who
have unique interests, needs,
and preferences. Working to
understand each child’s
interests, needs, preferences,
and culture builds a foundation
for connecting with infants and
toddlers in meaningful ways.
Support children’s
learning
When you are in tune with
children’s individual needs, you
are able to make responsive and
sensitive decisions about the
next step in each child’s
learning
THANK
YOU!!!
