(ACECCE-E) Guide the Development and Enhancement of Self- Awareness, Self-Regulation, Social Awareness and Confidence in Children
About This Course
As children grow, gradual development of self-awareness and social skills also occur. Self-awareness enables children to understand who they are and how are they related to the people and environment around them. Children need social competence to enable them to participate in the environment. Self-awareness is central to children’s emotional and social development.
This module describes the ability to use appropriate strategies to guide the development and enhancement of self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness and confidence in children, based on the understanding of developmental stages of each child and theories of social and emotional development. It includes guiding children in understanding and identification of their own strengths, likes and dislikes, and needs.
