Personal Narrative: My Experience Of Being An Infant-Toddler Teacher

390 Words2 Pages

I remember many instances when I was just starting to be an infant-toddler teacher. It was working with little babies. Every day, you can never imagine the adventure and the joy of being with them. There were also moments that I have to pause a bit and go to the bathroom to rethink and say, “I need a break”. Take for example J.D, an 18 month old infant who always cries whenever her mother leaves. She doesn’t sleep at all during nap time and cries whenever I go to other babies cots. That went on for a about two weeks. Even at that time, I knew about separation and stranger anxieties because of one seminar I attended that summer.

    Last year there was an opportunity for me to become an unqualified teacher in nursery. Whilst the experience has been exhausting and sometimes frustrating it has also been invigorating, inspiring and lots of fun and I would not have missed it for the world. I do not mind the late nights or spending part of the summer holiday getting nursery ready for September. Being accountable and sharing the responsibility with another teacher for reports, planning, Tapestry journals and data to me seems like the small price you pay for the privilege of being able to guide the children towards their future. Being a leading member of a group of adults requires the ability to be diplomatic and motivational, to enable the nursery as a community to achieve our common goals the children’s happiness and well-being whilst

    While 1,2,3… The Toddler Years: A Practical Guide for Parents and Caregivers focuses more on experiences you can encounter with a child as a caregiver or parent, Teaching and Learning with Infants and Toddlers is more science and theoretical based writing. Irene Van der Zande included many examples and stories of real life events that you can encounter and how you can handle it. One example would be, “As one father put it, “Never get used to anything once you think you’ve got your kids figured out, they change!”’(Zande, pg. 41)

    Feeding, watching, and playing with children has been my main concerns on weekends. Along with responsibility, I have learned to be patient. A child will most likely never do what I tell them to do the first time, so I must keep repeating my words and actions. Patience is key to babysitting, because if I don’t have that characteristic then I am likely to explode and cause emotional or physical damage to a child. As a result of this tremendous volunteer service, I have learned that I am a role model to many children.

They believe that attachment is a deep and enduring emotional bond that connects one person to another across time and space. In 1930 Bowlby worked as a psychiatrist in a children’s unit, where he treated many emotionally disturbed children, this lead him to consider the relationship between mother and child and the impact that could have on the child’s development.
