Thanks for your thoughts.
I am working wit...Jules<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts.<br /><br />I am working with children at the moment who have been with us since they were two years old. They were first in a parent and child group and then in our integrated Kindergarten. They are now six and seven years old and attending school, mainstream school.<br /><br />The parents of these children have been well informed. They spent at least a year working in the group with their children, speaking daily with the conductors. The children then spent three years at Kindergarten. Some of them were not brought or collected by their parents so we rarely saw them, and they rarely saw their children " in action".<br /><br />I am now introducing these parents once again to the work in the groups. I invite them to work with me whenever they can. I encourage parents, school assistants, teachers and even grandparents on “babysitting duty” to stay and watch, or to return a bit earlier, in order for them all to get an idea of what the children can do now.<br /><br />I go to work in the homes to find out how the child can climb the stairs or use the bath room. I then know what is needed and can work on the necessary things in the group. I visit the schools and give tips to teachers. <br /><br />It is a continuous task for us all. <br /><br />As the children change the parents need to be informed by us of the changes, they don’t always see them. Parents also need to be aware of the changes that they need to make themselves in their everyday lives so they can accomodate each new step forwards.<br /><br />SusieSusie Malletthttp://www.susie-mallett.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704425219270767105.post-34306312607958388332010-01-18T20:31:51.547+01:002010-01-18T20:31:51.547+01:00Brilliant point susie and very well put. This top...Brilliant point susie and very well put. This topic has been much on my mind lately. How to get more upbringing into the children and families? many of our children have been attending for a very long time and many never attended Parent and CHild sessions. Do we start at the beginning with CE information sessions - maybe they missed some of this crucial stuff out at the beginning? a good point to start the year on and one that has got me thinking!jules_cehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02352086844631143135noreply@blogger.com
