I have just done a couple of full days at the Kindy where I'll probably be working next year. For those among you who are, have or ever will consider having children, here are some of my top tips.
1. Check the child before you pick them up
She had just woken and was crying, so I picked her up and carried her around for ten minutes. Only then did she see fit to tell me that she'd wet the bed.
2. Lable Everything
I washed my hands with clear glue.
3. If a child looks sick, they probably are.
I had only just passed her to another teacher when she threw up.
4. Forget telling a three year old "Don't spill it."
It's just wishful thinking
5. "We like this story" Doesn't necessarily mean they want to hear it again, just that they've heard it before.
6. "Watch him, he's a scratcher" is very good advice.
What you wish they'd taught you at uni.
