Module 11 Discussion Forum
Module 11 Discussion Forum
There are many times when working in childcare where you might experience strong emotions such as fear, anger, resentment or anxiety in regards to issues in working with parents. The article and video explain what to do in these situations.
Explore your feelings
Accept your feelings
Check out your feelings with others
Receive the feedback of peers
Seek the parent’s point of view
Create a relaxed situation
Explain a situation where you have experienced feelings such as these and how you resolved them (or, how you would change the way you handled the situation based on these new steps). If you have not experienced personally these feelings when working with parents, think of a scenario that might cause you to feel fear, anger, resentment or anxiety and how you might respond to that scenario.
DB Module 11 Assignment
The video and article for this week focused on understanding the protective urges of parents (and how to address the accompanying feelings of caregivers). Parents are searching for Understanding, Competence and Honesty from caregivers. One way that you can address these issues in a proactive way is to create a Statement of Philosophy of Care.
After viewing the video and reading the articles, view this website on how to create a Statement of Philosophy of Care and create your own. https://resilienteducator.com/classroom-resources/how-to-develop-a-philosophy-of-teaching-for-early-childhood-education/
