Describe how to establish respectful, professional relationships with children and young people
It’s most important that first of all you talk to a child or young person that is at a level that is appropriate to their age. Making sure that you come across as calm caring and approachable person, who is also willing to listen to what they have to say and making them feel that what they have to say is also important. Also setting out mutual ground rules so you both know what is expected from each other so there is no confusion from either side. And simple things like learning a person’s name and pronouncing it correctly, being alert to their feeling, giving time to pupils as an individual and using lots of positive and encouraging words when speaking to children and young people.

When communicating with children or young people you need to make sure you are communicating at a level that is at their “age related” stage of their development. But keeping in mind that children and young people mature and develop at different stages, and children with “special needs” may need more help from different professions to assess their development stage.
Children in foundation and key stage 1 these pupils are still developing their language and communication skills so it’s important that when we speak to them we get down to their level so we are not towering over them which may be intimidating to small children. When communicating with small children its important you have their undivided attention as they have a limited attention span a good way of making sure
