Here the Beckies chat with Lynette about understanding schema play and supporting children's confidence.
Confidence should be the first thing we support, do the children see themselves as a worthwhile person ? How are the children responded to and are they respected?
Noticing what children are say is crucial and how we respond to children's communications is key to confidence building. Does the child feel worthwhile let't think about our responses, how does your self esteem feel in your environment and how does this feel for the children in your care?
Children need to be seen and heard, we need to understand gestures and look for schemes from a very young age.
Have a 10 min listen and discover more about schemas, what is the child really telling us and how do we could respond ? Building confidence needs to be at the heart of all practice whatever age child you teach or live with.
Children get an idea of how worthwhile a person they are at the age of six (yr 1 children), their self esteem can be boosted by teachers with a great knowledge of schema play and with educators and family around them who not only listen but who teach through extension of the child's lines of inquiry. Lynette gives us some great examples of this...
Tune in, affirm and respond.
Find out about mastery patterns of behaviour and ensure you are the teacher/educator who tunes in, affirms and responds allowing children to thrive now and for their future.
Making the people of tomorrow is a huge responsibility and we need to get this right!
We follow the children's patterns of play and lines of enquiry so that children gain confidence in their thoughts and ideas. We never want to tell a child who they are or shape a child we should teach in a way that enables and enhances who they are and what they are communicating to us.
