I have a coworker that I greatly admire because of her ability to connect with children. She is always very warm and patient and listens to them respectfully. She allows them to express their feelings with words so that they feel appreciated and respected.

Yes, when I see other adults talk to kids and not at them it seems they get a better response from the children and have a better conversation with them. Sometimes we tend to undermine children’s intellectual capability of having a mature conversation on some things.

In high school I helped in a special needs class and honestly I took it for an easy A. On one of my friends who I was taking a class with it was around prom time and he didn't have a date, I wasn't going and this girl who was a senior in the class was telling me that she would never go to prom because she was ugly. The next morning I was talking to her parents and got the permission to drive her to school, I got up early and did her hair and make up and she asked my friend to prom that day when we were all eating lunch. She got date! Now he and her hang out all the time and have the strongest friendship I have ever seen.

Yes, I appreciate when I see caregivers and teachers make good eye contact with a child and are really good listeners, it makes the child feel secure

I have seen others connect with children in ways that I appreciate when they are patient and understanding of the children’s emotions and feelings. Furthermore, when they are warm, friendly, respectful and engage in positive communication and listen actively to children. Additionally, I also appreciate when caregivers get down to the children’s eye level in order to make eye contact with them and therefore connect with the child.

My very experienced coworkers have been applying this training and I have told them how appreciative I am of their good modeling. Getting down to the child's level is one of my favorites and just playing, tickling or conversing with them are wonderful interactions.

I appreciate other care provider through their effort. patience and understanding to make children happy. Their passion is so deep that any circumstances won't affect daily routine in the daycare. Very inspiring.

I appreciate when people working with children try alternative methods to redirecting children's bad behavior such as explaining why its not safe or allowed, or offering a different safe activity to distract them from what they were previously doing. I feel this is much more effective than just saying NO or DONT DO THAT.
