As an EYP when you are working with children in pre school you are going to be helping prepare them for going to school you can do this by having circle time how this is going to help them with school readiness is because by doing circle time you are providing a safe and enabling environment as the environment is going to be clam and quiet.  this can have positives but it can also have weakness, the positives are children with autism like to have the own space and buy having these enabling environments it allows them to have theses. Circle time is also going to develop a child emotional and cognitive development as you can ask them how the instruments make them feel and see if they can find out different ways to hit it to see if it makes a different sound. by doing circle time this is also providing the children resources so this can be things like puppets, music and instruments. they are positives and weakness to this, the weakness is a child may have autism and their ears are sensitive to loud noises and they may not have them social skills to join in with a group. A positive to this is  children are going to increase all areas of development as the join in circle time.

An EYP's role for preparing children for school can be to provide opportunities for children to express and gain understanding of their own self identity and worth. they are different ways a practitioner can do this one of the ways this is to celebrate different cultures involve all children so they will gain an understanding of the world so to help them do this a practitioner can plan different activities around some cultures to engage the individual needs of the children. they can be positives and weakness to this, the positives are they are gaining an understanding of children's background cultures and their likes, dislikes and interests. but they can also be a weakness to this and that is parents might not be open to their children learning about other cultures and religions.  another way a practitioner can provide opportunities for children to express and gain opportunities of their own self identity and worth is by planning and leading an activity for children to work in a group so you can model what you want the the child to do, provide equal opportunities for all children, share resources and allow children to have an input again this can have positives and weakness. the weakness can be that not all children have that social development to be able to work in groups with other children. a positives can be that it is teaching children that they are different ways to learn for example group work.

It is important that as an EYP that if they are delays in children's development that you spot this can put the support in place before they start school.
So if they are delays in children's development you can refer to other professionals/organisations but they are strengths and weakness to this the strength is they are provide early intervention in supporting the child's individual needs. but a weakness to this can be Having to relay on communication and also they might not be enough information to get support to help their child. To help children with activities for example singing songs if a child has a delay in tier language development and cant keep up with singing you can help they children by showing them a picture card so they know what is coming up next in the song . they are positive and weakness to this, a positive is it helps the children to make links between real life and visual. a weakness to this is they children that don't have a delay might get distracted by the picture cards and say they wrong words that are next in the song and then they children that do have a delay are going to get confused as they children are singing different words to the picture that is on the cards.
