Care Room Visual Aid A3 Wipe Clean Poster Bundle now available on the Early Years Shop. These are colourful and bright accessible care room visual aids with key reminders for staff on Behaviour Management, Supporting Transitions/Managing Wait Periods and Biting (which can be very difficult to manage in the care room). The posters are an excellent quick visual reference for practitioners to remind them of the best strategies for managing children's issues around behaviour.
The posters were designed by Canavan Byrne and make a great addition to any care room. Each poster shows a picture of a young child or baby with five speech bubbles showing what they may be thinking at that time. These words aim to guide early years educators on the spot rather than having to refer to documentation. See below to show what each poster includes.
