This activity in this sequence relates to me because it’s the type I’d like to introduce in our setting, yet there are staff that believe that it’s too unsafe for the children to partake in.

I also often provide this assistance to children in the class when they are carrying out practical life exercises for their first time or as and when requested. This assistance is important in extending the child’s physical and emotional development; otherwise, the child may lose confidence in continuing and completing the...
