EARLY CHILDHOOD 2
My position is a preschool teacher, and I handle children between three to six years. I
observe the play behavior of the child including the playmates and whether the child is happy
and active while interacting with other children in the school. A child who has abnormal
behavior is observed in the different natural environment to confirm if they have any disorders
(Woodhead, 2015). I decide to visit the child at home while with the family members and
observe he or she has the same behavior. Example when a child is dull, quiet and unhappy, I
investigate the problem of the child. As a teacher, I develop a list of the strengths and needs of
the children. Some of the difficulties which make me recognize children with special needs are
unable to communicate verbally, inability to grab toys and isolation from other children
(Kauffman et al, 2017). The observations which I make about a particular child, I shared it with
the parents, supervisors, and therapists to see if the condition of the child can be improved.
Similarly, I believe that inclusive environment is crucial for a child who needs special care. A
child is given the opportunity to freely interact, play with other children of the same age. At this
stage, it is easy for teachers to observe the behavior of the children and examine difficulties
experienced by the child. The inclusive environment gives an opportunity for the child to
establish a healthy relationship with other people apart from their family members. The child
will develop a sound social connection with other people. Inclusive environment makes children
start appreciating the diversity of other people at an early stage. The children grow understanding
different people come from different background, and people should live in harmony with each
other (Snapp et al, 2015). The child is also given the opportunity to participate, be creative,
cooperate with others and contribute towards any activity. If the children are playing, every child
attends the game. I acknowledge the inclusive environment because it has assisted my pupils
who have special needs to share their experience with other children and learn from other others.
