Insights
Taking account of the Micro credential with regard to Emotional Intelligence, the
three insights gained pertaining to the role as an early childhood professional include
sensitivity towards children, co-coordinating with parents with regard to the welfare of the
children overall and the undertaking of a different approach towards children with special
needs (Sánchez-Álvarez, Extremera, & Fernández-Berrocal, 2016). As a result, it is important
that relationships should be maintained accordingly with regard to the welfare of the toddlers
and infants in an effective and efficient manner. It is imperative that the aspect of emotional
intelligence in this regard plays a vital role as far as an empathetic approach towards children
is concerned. It further implies that the emotions of toddlers and infants should be taken into
account with reference to the differentiation of the emotions of different toddlers and infants.
The aspect related to Emotional Intelligence also implies the prevention of the possible
occurrence of mental health disorders amongst toddlers and infants thereby helping them to
grow in a proper and appropriate manner (Petrides, et al., 2016). The Micro credential has to
a huge extent helped to address issues related to child development in an effective and
efficient manner thereby aiding in the aspect related to child welfare, most notably toddlers
and infants.
Area of development and personal plan
During the placement program for two weeks at the centre, the area which needs
attention for the purpose of development is to improve the aspect related to the welfare of
those toddlers and infants who have certain kinds of disabilities physically or mentally. It
would help these toddlers and infants to grow in a proper and appropriate manner without
encountering any issues or complexities in the future (Walton & Hibbard, 2019). It would
also play a vital role in the aspect of child welfare thereby implying a humanistic approach by
the centre. The plan which is to be formulated and developed is based on the welfare of
toddlers and infants in the desired manner thereby leading to positive outcomes. It includes
the fostering of amicable relationship with children with regard of the addressing of their
needs in an effective and efficient manner. The plan is also inclusive of the emotional aspect
to be undertaken with reference to the handling of toddlers and infants. The psychology of
various kinds of toddlers and infants are to be taken into consideration and incorporated in
the plan accordingly thereby implying their growth in the manner as presumed and projected.
