4.1 Lead practice that supports children to make positive choices about their health needs.

For me here are some of the practices that children make a positive choice about their health

• Classes or seminars on health topics such as fitness, nutrition, tobacco cessation, or stress management
• Weight loss programs that offer counseling and education
• Exercise classes
• Ergonomic assessments and equipment
• On-site influenza vaccines
• Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs)
• Chronic disease self-management tools
• Emails or newsletters with health information

4.2 Lead colleagues to work co-operatively with others to meet the needs of babies and children and enable them to progress. 

As you considered earlier, how you engage with parents depends, to a large degree, on your underpinning views and beliefs. Similarly, how you engage with colleagues and other professionals is influenced by your underpinning views and beliefs. In this next activity, you will be asked to think about how you develop working relationships with others in your core and extended team.

Tips Motivating your team:

• Keep them connected to the company
• Clearly define your expectations
• Don't sugarcoat unpleasant projects
• Be consistent
• Set a good example
• Ask for input
• Show you care

4.3 Work in partnership with parents and/or carers to help them recognise and value the significant contributions they make to the child's health, well-being, learning and development.

• Schools play an important role in the promotion and maintenance of their childrens' health. Healthy children are better learners. But schools can't do it alone. Parents are the other crucial half of the equation to provide the healthy start that kids need to thrive in the classroom and in life. Research clearly shows that good nutrition and plenty of physical activity are vital to children's academic success. That's why it's so important for schools to engage parents in school health and wellness efforts and provide parents with the knowledge, skills, and support they'll need to maintain their children on the path of health, wellness, and academic success.

4.4 Work with others to take action to address concerns identified about the health of children.

For me here are the ways to address concerns identified about the health of children:

• Start Being Healthy at Work
• Volunteer at a Local Social Services Organization
• Encourage Carpooling and the Use of Public Transit
• Pursue a Public Health Career

Consider the whole child

• Most expulsions and suspensions happen when students have physical outbursts, hurt other children, or disregard rules. Children's behavioral difficulties can be caused by multiple factors, including traumatic experiences, an emerging developmental disability or mental health issue, or even the way in which a child's day unfolds. Nixon believes that challenging behaviors are less acts of defiance than they are cries for help.

Prioritize social and emotional learning

• According to Gorham says that social and emotional skills—which include learning how to resolve conflicts, bond with teachers, make friends, and be part of a group—help protect against negative behaviors. 

Confront bias

• According to Nixon says that building an inclusive environment begins with confronting implicit biases about behavior, race, and gender. She points to recent research from Yale that indicates teachers have implicit biases about who is going to behave in a classroom and who is not.

Invest in mental health consultation

• Infant and early childhood mental health consultants can play a critical role in supporting both adults and children. They can often identify the issues underlying children's challenging behaviors and then help teachers and families find constructive ways to resolve them.
