Again, this links to, and shows the importance of having good relationships with pupils and parents, and being aware of their lives and interests
Children build on their experiences; the wider and deeper their exposure, the greater potential they have for secure development.

I think this is an important point to consider as not every child in our classrooms will have the back backgrounds and will have experience the same things, so we need to give them as many experiences as we can to develop their cultural capital
Diversity of communities must be respected and celebrated,widening each child’s sense of belonging and sense of place in the community, while the uniqueness of each family, regardless of differences, is acknowledged and honoured
-
This is achieved through knowing the child well and having good relationships with both the child and the parent, so you can be aware of any family differences and ensure they are represented in the setting
We are all influenced by ideas from the society we live in which affect our attitudes, beliefs and the way we see others and how they may live their lives

Children will have all come from a different home lives with different expectations which may be different to ours as a practitioner.

They begin with physically valuing the child’s home language and culture by, for example, having a welcome sign and taking time to correctly learn to pronounce both the child’s and the parents’ names. Other physical indicators may include fabrics, props and pictures that accurately represent the family’s culture.
-
These things are incredibly important for the child to develop a strong sense of self and feel comfortable and self confident in their identity. How can we expect children to feel good about themselves if they do not see themselves represented anywhere and we cannot pronounce their name correctly? We are subconsciously suggesting they are 'wrong' or 'do not belong'.
, it is also important that we try to find out about the culture of the family. This is important because we need to understand to what extent there will be significant cultural differences that may become an additional challenge for the child on top of learning a new language.

Again, links to the importance of having good relationships with the parents and families alongside the child, and knowing their interests. Helps us to know what is normal for a child and their lives and what may require some more intervention for the child
