The six assessment segments

Sex abuser - the paedophile

Whatever age you are, when you see the child do you feel a sense of your own physical excitement? If this sense appears, are you able to rapidly manage it through your duty as an adult to a child?

If you carry through any thoughts, or indulge in those thoughts, then you should seek support to learn better self-management.

The jealous manipulator

From birth, children learn how their own behaviour results in adult response. For a child to learn emotional balance, they must see it from the adults they engage with. Adults who respond through largely childlike behaviour, or try to manipulate the child by throwing 'tantrums', will embed such behaviour in the child. Do you stay in adult mode when a child is being childish, or is paying another adult more attention?

The limiter

Every child is influenced by the world around them. This nurturing, combined with the inate character of the child, will mean they have the ability to excel in things to a greater extent than you ever have. Do you know how to support them to be the best they can, when it's beyond your abilities? Do you know how to? If you see yourself holding a child back because of your limitations, find support.
