Manual Handling Procedure
Coping at Work is a journal written by Mette Sandoff and Gill Widell that gives clear instructions on working with children at the workplace. For instance, it is through the journal that I understood how to deal with hyperactive children especially when it is a question of changing their nappies.

For instance, when one is working with children, there are some ethical standards that one should maintain. These standards are the ones to be applied at the workplace to ensure that the children are safe and are learning and emulating the correct things from the educator.
Describe how you maintained confidentially of personal information about children and families.
The journal Work-place bullying: A group processes framework an article written by Sheryl Ramsay, Ashlea talks of rules that should be applied at the work stations. One of the rules indicates that the records and information on the children should remain confidential unless it is being given to the parent or guardian.

Principle of the Learning Framework
The principle related to the learning framework are those that are effective to the educator together with the children. The first principle is related to family-centered practice is based on the child’s learning issues that are related to the family. The second principle is associated with high expectation for the children. This principle implies that all the there should be high expectations for all the children in everything they are doing as it would make them be able to achieve the best results (Sandoff & Widell, 2011). Another principle is related to equity and diversity whereby all the children are expected to be given equal rights and treatment.

Finally, the principle of reflective practice implies that children should be taught or guided by professionals in the Early Childhood Development field.
Reflect the Learning Framework
The first practice of pedagogy involves seeing every child as a capable learner as from the time they were young. One has to see them as competent, resilient self-assured and confident. This would mean that there is no child who will be prejudiced for being a slow learner, and they will all be given equal opportunity to learn (Sandoff & Widell, 2011).
During my early life as an educator, I believed that slow learners should be kept in their own classroom, and the rest and the genius should also be in their own class. I was then introduced to a class of thirty pupils. Ten of them
The second practice deals with
The children learn a lot of things from their parents and caregivers. As an educator, I have always played safe to ensure that the children can emulate the best from me. Educators in the centre are groomed in accordance to the laws governing the land and school. Therefore, the children are expected to learn to follow rules that govern them. It will make them be strong minded people and independent.
