Children just like grown ups have varying needs.They are mostly not vocal especially 6 to 18 months old,about their needs and so it will either be expressed through crying ,aggressive behaviour, isolating themselves or not taking part in some activities.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.MM0TWIpE
To foster healthy habits for example staying hydrated, washing hands ,brushing teeth  and tidying up,I will ensure consistency such that the children know what they have to do at what times.I will encourage talking Inuktitut words, singing Inuktitut songs ,playing Inuktitut games and doing crafts about Arctic Animals.I will be a role model in being welcoming.I will encourage children to take a nap in order to get rest.I will also put effort to make reading a daily activity and ensure outdoor play is not left out unless the weather gets worst.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.NQ0iYKSs
While giving the day’s feedback to the guardian, I will report the behaviour demonstrated by the child and how it all changed after giving him or her food and seek to know if the child had taken any meal before coming to daycare.If the parent admits to not have fed the child, and possibly associate it with lack,I will involve my supervisor who may refer  the parent to where they may be assisted.If I suspect that it is negligence,I will also involve my supervisor for necessary measures to be taken.

A child who tends to attend daycare hungry.He or she will not be in a good mood for any activity.A hungry person is an angry person.He or she may result to biting ,pushing or hitting because they may be feeling frustrated.Others will cry and seek emotional comfort like hugs or being lifted up.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.kHxWM0u8
Once I know the child is hungry, I will first of all give her the morning snack until he or she is satisfied. For the lunch and the afternoon snacks I will ensure I give him or her enough food.I will encourage drinking water regularly.I will do a follow up to see if this is a repeated thing.I will write down the dates when the child attended daycare hungry and the behaviour portrayed. I will also write the foods I gave the child.I will also let my supervisor know if it is persistent.

I would help foster healthy habits over time by, encouraging and helping  the parent to feed their child before daycare or bring snacks to daycare to make it routine to their schedule and also help suggest more options of food and meal prepping. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.NQ0iYKSs
How I would support the family is, i would talk to the parent bringing the child about how their child is attending daycare hungry, ask if the child eats breakfast before coming to daycare, than I would suggest having the parent feed the child before attending daycare, also suggest bringing snacks with the child. I would also observe the child & help the family which breakfast food they like most, i would also help the parent & suggest meal prepping for their breakfast each morning, and talking to them at the end of the day as to how their child behaved throughout the day. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.kHxWM0u8
If a child was coming to daycare hungry, I would support the child by giving them snacks until it is breakfast time, that way the child isn’t cranky, whiny or aggressive towards other children or caregivers if that child were to act that way when hungry. Because we want happy children at the start of daycare to have a good rest of the day.

A wet /full diaper is does not only make the child uncomfortable and irritable it causes rash and making it easy for the child to get infections and spreads germs. In a daycare centre that becomes an outbreak and affects a lot of families and the community. It also makes the child unhappy and that’s not how you would want to start your day with an unhappy child.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.MM0TWIpE
I will keep the diaper routine at the centre and make sure the child is used to it.  Make sure we have diaper all the time.Share the progress with the parents and check on their side. Allow healthy communication between the parents and centre so they can share their challenges and help to find a solution or the cause of the issue if their are not aware.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.NQ0iYKSs
Being welcoming or have an open door policy helps both parties to communicate in a safe environment. First I will report or highlight the issue and find out if they are aware of it and what might be the cause of the wet diaper issue. Depending on the issue, I will have suggest places where funding or supply for diapers is available, share our diaper policy and suggest they try it at home to help the child develop a healthy routine. Hand out age related  information on healthy diaper habits/ routines  from public health or Elders child rearing habits  manual.Encourage the family to involve or seek help from relatives or family members if its a case of single parenting and time management.

I will support the child by keeping a supply of diapers at the center if the parents can not provide enough, that way we are able to change at the centre. Change the child every morning making it a routine and include other kids so that the kid doesn’t feel isolated or targeted. And it I also helps in following the centre’s diaper policy which is changing after 2 hrs. Teach the toddler to give cues when they need change and if it’s an infant you observe and learn the signs and when change the child you will have a one on one and explain in a way they will understand.

When a child  is  hungry in the morning,  they are usually crying, grumpy and aggressive or impatient. Before coming to daycare ,the child should have breakfast already at home. Daycare morning snacks usually at 9:30 in the morning. If the child is hungry coming to daycare, I will talk to the child if he/she  eat at home or not.I will  give child a snack early and I will talk to director what   I have observed and plan what we can do so that this things will not happen again.

We all have needs, and at times we require support to meet them. In early childhood education, supporting children, families and healthy habits is important in promoting growth and overall development.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.MM0TWIpE
I would continue establishing consistent hygiene routines. This includes regular diaper checks, washing hands and changing into clean clothes when needed. By maintaining this routine, the child will begin to understand and feel comfortable with healthy habits. I would also maintain open Communication with the family by sharing small updates, gentle reminders or suggestions.  Working together ensures that healthy habits are encouraged both at home and in the childcare centre.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.NQ0iYKSs
With the daily support we provided to the child, I also noticed that he came back the next day wearing the same clothes we changed him into the previous day with the strong smell of pee. This raised some concerns so I communicated my observations to my director and I learned that the family had recently moved from another community and may not yet have access to many resources.
To support them, we used our back up supplies at the centre and offered them to the family without placing pressure. We reassured the parent that it was okay and that we can help until we were able to send the next supply request. This approach helped reduce stress for the family. After a week, we noticed a significant improvement in the child’s hygiene and overall well-being.

Being consistent in introducing healthy habit to children everyday is important.This means following the routines.

I will reach out to the family, And discuss them about their child activities. I will tell them that their child often hungry and grumpy and cries in the morning. I will ask the parents how we can support to help so the child feels more comfortable and happy at daycare.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.kHxWM0u8
Any  child arriving at the daycare hungry, I will offer that child some food right away because normally the snack time scheduled for around 9:30 am.
I’d want that child to be happy to have food so they won’t be grumpy and if a child has a full  belly it will reflect their mood.And if  the child feel happy they more content to  play along with other kids.
Our goal at the daycare is to meet all the children’s needs to insure they’re always happy in every way possible.
