Positive Relationship: Which highlight what adults can do to scaffold learning and build a positive relationship with children. Throughout the early years, if a child’s progress in any prime area of learning gives cause for concern, practitioners must discuss this with the child’s parents and/or carers and agree on how to support the child.
