1. Self-Evaluation
By working with Reflective Practice Guidance Logsassignment, I more
understand how important to useguidanceto influence the children's behavior.I
also gained a lot effective knowledge from these practices.
One of my strengths is I had reviewed all the class notes and read part of book.
This gives me some previous knowledge in the areas of direct and redirect
guidance. The more important thing is that I learned each child is unique. They
have their own development piece and different temperament, Such as having
difficult separate with parent in the morning, transition time and meet stranger
anxiety, and so on. So that, I need careful observe children’s behavior, analyses
the situation and choose appropriate guidance strategy.
My weakness of this assignment is hard to make children understand what I am
talking. I knew there are just infants. And it is very essential to understand
children’s development level. They may not capable understand the long
sentence. So I try to make my word as sample and short as I can. Sometimes, I
still felt to express my meaning to the child. So I took advice from my ECE
teacher, make my words as clear and short as I can, may be just one or two key
words. Because infants are too young to understand what the whole sentence
mean.
Otherwise, after finish assignment I have learned that the goal of guidance is to
help the child become self-directed, happy, fully functioning individuals. We
should respected children’s growth piece.
