      Ask yourself and others in your program the following:1. Is the policy practical?2. Is the policy age-appropriate for all the children you care for and for yourenvironment?3. Will center based staff, (or family child care assistant if program is familychild care), be able to incorporate the policy and procedures into the dailyoperations of the program? What training may they need?4. Is the information in the policy accessible and easy to use?5. Does the policy do what it’s intended to do regarding the children’s healthand safety?Page 9 TAChildGuidanceGCC20051107

      I feel these are great questions to get feedback from your colleagues, to make sure we have covered everything for the kids safety. I believe the last question is crucial because our job is to teach but more than that is to provide an environment for the kids to safe and for their health.

      Teachers/providers must proceed with the awarenessthat touch may not be welcomed by a child, especially if the child have beenvictimized by physical and/or sexual abuse or witnessed domestic violence

      I believe this is crucial for us teacher to know and understand, and the reason why we should pay attention to every child observe how they react and act to certain situations so when cases like this comes up we can identify how to provide the right responsive step so the child can feel comfortable but not bring bad memories.

      I was surprised to know that we only hold the child to remove them from the dangerous situation and how long is the appropriate holding time ?
