Hi,

I'm currently stuck on an essay. Could someone please give me some guidance?.


Explain the importance of promoting children's independence during care routines.

Thank you

Hi this quote from page 340 may help

Physical care routines

Dressing, toileting and hand washing are not only important for children's physical well-being, they are also important because they allow children opportunities to learn new skills and to become independent.


Independence and the ability to do things for yourself raises self-esteem, builds resilience, confidence http://www.handsonscotland.co.uk/flo...onfidence.html and enables children to start taking responsibility for themselves.

Blowing their own nose, taking themselves to the toilet, brushing their own teeth, caring for their hair page 50 has a table showing routines and the opportunities for learning about why these are important.
