Or. Admin. Code § 414-360-0510 - [Effective 7/1/2025] Creating a Health Climate for Children
(1) When
communicating or interacting with children, a provider must ensure caregivers
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 ensure that caregivers
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.
