Students and adults considering a career in child care will get lots of good information from this excellent video, which emphasizes the overall importance of having patience and genuine love for children, as well as confidence, creativity, a positive attitude, flexibility, and good communication skills. In chats with parents and teachers, viewers learn that in order to effectively work with children they must understand the child's "age and stage," provide alternatives to misbehavior, and teach respect for others with clear, firm communication. Concluding with some advice on finding job prospects and underscoring the importance of staying current with new research, this brief but comprehensive outline of the skills needed to succeed in child care is highly recommended for schools, day care centers, and library media centers.
