Early
childhood educators are responsible for the health
and safety of the children they care for. From
preventing harm from known safety risks to promoting
children's medical, nutritional, oral, and mental
health, educators and program directors act as
children's daily protection and support. This
easy-to-use manual provides educators with the
information they need to ensure that the children in
their care are safe, while they learn the best
practices to stay healthy for life. With
suggestions, ideas, activities, and ways to involve
families at home, Preschool Health and Safety
Matters covers topics such as hygiene, injury
prevention, mental health, diversity, nutrition, and
safety. The Appendices include resources (e.g.,
handwashing poster, emergency posters, parent
information sheets, child handwashing booklet) and
checklists (e.g., Daily Health Check, Meal Patterns,
Playground Checklist).

Young children's behavior can be challenging at
times, but handling it does not have to be.
Children can experience feelings that they do not
understand or know how to control, causing them to
act out in unfavorable ways. Behavioral challenges
are frustrating for children and care providers
alike, making it necessary to have effective methods
to manage these times of concern.
This Redleaf Quick Guide to Behavioral Challenges
in Early Childhood Settings is filled with
information on how to respond to an array of
behavioral challenges including aggression,
defiance, inappropriate language, tantrums, and
separation anxiety. This book also offers prevention
tips and developmental information that may affect
children's behavior. |
