Reflective Account On Child Needs

Children needs
Needs are vital and necessary part of life. Some of the needs are physical needs, intellectual needs, emotional and social needs.
Physical needs
Children’s physical needs are hygiene, food, exercise, warmth, safety and security. Greenside Nursery ensures that all this takes place. For example, the nursey has CCTV and locks on doors to ensure the children are safe. This means that children will be monitored wherever they are.
Everybody needs would be exercise as it is essentials for somebody health and body. This will help children generate their body and develop themselves. This would also help them stay healthy. Some people are very lazy, as they do not like physical education; having PE in school supports them to get a bit
The nursery that I went to consists of different activities every day. The activities included of learning songs numbers, weeks, days, months, poems and much more
Another activity would be counting the amount of beads, toys etc. This would help children develop their counting skills, painting skills, drawing and crafting skills. The counting skill would help with their maths. As well as that, their painting and drawing skill would help with art.
Story time at least 20 minute a day would help children by developing their speaking and listening skills. At the nursey, I observed they had story time and story corner. This is where children can go and read whenever it is necessary and whenever they want to. The story corner was full of books of different genres, which are suitable for children.
Another intellectual need would be schoolwork. This would help you get good grades in life, which would also help you get far in life. This would lead onto education. An intellectual need for education would be learning something new everyday
Children need communication because this helps boost grades and improves their socializing. Greenside nursery encourages children to communicate with each other by putting them in groups and making them meet new
This is done daily so everything such as thoughts and feelings can be shared. Circle time is also somewhere they can feel safe and have nothing to worry about. They can share everything and have no worries. They sit in a circle and hold a teddy when it is their turn to speak. To make circle time enjoyable everyone has to communicate and even if they have nothing to share they will have to speak about what they enjoyed the most and what they least enjoyed.
One to one talk with the teacher can also help. Children can go to any staff at any time of the day. Children are safe to talk to teachers, as it is private and confidential. This means she/he will not be confronted in front of the other children and it will be dealt with secretly. This helps the child because they know they are safe and they know that they can share their feelings.
Naughty corner is place where children go when in trouble or when angry, sad, naughty. They spend 10 minutes over here, which is the maximum time. However, this could take longer due to some situations. The child is supressed from meeting other children until they are calm. This helps them get over everything without anyone making them more
