Basic Training for Residential Childcare Workers: A Practical Guide for Improving Services to Children,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This book focuses on the unique needs of the children in residential care that come from troubled backgrounds and continue to manifest behavioral, emotional, and psychological problems. Childcare workers will have to deal with tantrums, out of control behavior, emotional outbursts, and in some facilities may have to place a child in a behavioral restraint to protect her or others. There are numerous training topics that are difficult to teach new childcare workers, especially those with little or no experience in the field of residential childcare. The goal of this book is to provide remedies for these training deficits by providing solid, easy to understand and follow information for childcare workers and trainers, explaining the often illusive concepts that form the basis for the job. The text begins with an explanation of the importance of milieu therapy, defining and outlining it as the most important work done in a residential treatment center. Next, the key elements of milieu therapy are examined: program structure, the house schedule, maintaining good boundaries, setting limits, rewarding positive behavior, role modeling, consistency, verbal communication, communication skills, knowing your milieu, and taking care of your own health and wellbeing. Each element is carefully explained and examples of actual situations that may occur in the residential setting are included. Clear and specific suggestions for improving childcare practice are included throughout, so that childcare workers or supervisors can immediately put lessons learned into actual practice as the need arises. The chapters conclude with a detailed chapter review to reinforce ideas and emphasize key points. Exercises are also included that are designed to help the reader put the material covered into actual use and practice. Whether you are a childcare worker or a supervisor, Basic Training for Residential Childcare Workers is designed to help improve outcomes for children in residential care, increase effectiveness of childcare workers, and reduce stress and burnout for staff. This guide is an excellent resource for training purposes that imparts information that can be readily absorbed, practiced, and implemented by childcare workers and supervisors.
