Thank you, teacher...

We have been discussing the importance of positive relationships, and how an act of kindness can last a lifetime...

A positive relationship is helpful during a period of change because a period of change can be painful.  By having that one person you can talk to, you can let off steam, you can cry, you can get advice, and this makes the change for a better outcome for everyone.

Last year, in Level 2, my College Tutor (CM), went above board and beyond.  Having a positive relationship with my tutor meant I could turn to my tutor for advice and it changed me as a person as my self esteem and self confidence grew.

However...the person who is offering that relationship needs to be prepared!!

A positive relationship is helpful during a period of change because it helps the child to settle down and makes the child feel secure and safe holistically - in turn, this allows the child to learn effectively.

SOCIALLY - the child will be able to interact and socialise with other children as well as practitioners, and be better able to express their feelings appropriately.

PHYSICALLY - the child will enjoy participation in activities especially if they are an opportunity to be praised.

INTELLECTUALLY - the child is more settled and relaxed and so is can acquire new concepts and ideas.

COMMUNICATION - this child is able to develop their language and communication skills and problems can be better picked up on.

EMOTIONALLY - the child has a consistent and secure base.

You can be a helpful support towards both child and parents - this could be to assist the child through "next steps" - or even when they have "flown the nest".  It can sometimes be difficult if a child does not want to form a bond with other practitioners, but these are the people who are best placed to offer advice and understand what is best for the child's individual needs and encouragement to the next critical stages of life.
