Section 1A

It is very essential for the practitioners to develop positive relationship with the child. The positive relationship is very important as it helps in sharing information between the practitioner and the child. The practitioner can share their experiences and their ideas with the child, which can further improve the learning of the child. According to the book From Birth to One (Maria Robinson) Making relationship, attachments or affection bonds to primary careers is a fundamental part of how an internal working model (or inner world view if you prefer) is formed. When a child starts a new setting they're allocated a designated person who becomes their key worker.

The book understanding child development states that the key person is not simply about filling records; it's a personal relationship.
