Or. Admin. Code § 414-210-0510 - [Effective 7/1/2025] Creating a Healthy Climate for Children
(1) When
communicating or interacting with children, a provider must maintain an
environment for healthy, culturally responsive child development. Examples of
this may include: Giving encouragement and positive feedback, modeling active
listening and respectful communication, speaking to children at their eye
level, giving kind greetings and goodbyes, validating feelings and ideas, using
a calm and encouraging tone of voice, and being curious about the individuality
of every child and family.
(2) A
provider must encourage positive interactions between children. Examples of
this may include: modeling social skills and empathy, helping children
understand the feelings of others, providing support to children who find it
difficult to make friends, and encouraging play between children of all
abilities and backgrounds.
(3) When
lifting or moving a child, caregivers must do so in a manner that provides
safety and comfort for the child.
