Developing Care and Self-Care Skills for Infants and Young Children.
When we talk about care and self-care, we mean things like:
- Toileting or changing nappies
- Dressing and undressing
- Bathing
- Eating and drinking
- Grooming tasks such as brushing teeth and hair
The three videos below are designed to help parents and carers in thinking about ways to support infants and young children who might need more help in developing these skills.
In the videos, we introduce the PEO model as a way of considering the challenges a child may face. You can download a problem-solving worksheet which is based on the PEO model. Fill this worksheet out when considering how your child engages with care and self-care activities, as well as what specific goal you would like to focus on.
Please start with video 1 and watch through to videos 2 and 3 in your own time.
