2.9 Create a supportive environment for change Create an understanding amongst your staff and families of “why” physical activity and movement skills are important for your service to consider. Ideas for generating interest and support • Put up some newspaper snippets on the walls • Display key facts and attention grabbing information around the centre or include in newsletters Build on your strengths • Identify what you are already doing, what would be easiest to start doing and what things you might tackle in the future • Decide with staff and families, which things are the most important (it may not be possible for you to make all the changes required at once) • You might like to start with something that is familiar and easy What is working and what is not? • Work out what changes are working for your service and if they are effective • Ask yourself whether the changes meeting your service's needs. Are families, children and staff satisfied and happy with the changes? • Don’t be afraid to tweak what you are doing based on your reflections, feedback and any changing circumstances • The appropriateness of the information and suggestions regarding how you might use this for your service will depend on your service's philosophy, staff, facilities, and the needs of your children and families I Move We Move, The Guide Edition 1 August 2009 AREA HEALTH SERVICE
Building on strengths, how it might work in practice You might like to start with the area of limiting small screen recreation and other sedentary behaviour. For many services this is likely to be an area where there are already restrictions or guidelines in place. Policy • Develop up a policy on small screen recreation and add in some information on limiting time that children spend seated or inactive • Display and promote the new policy Staff practice • Conduct an in-service to staff on policy • Implement practice change to monitor children’s participation in small screen recreation and time spent seated or inactive, particularly if it is during to free active play Families • Seek their feedback on the policy during its development • Send information home to parents on policy and small screen recreation • Encourage families to have a "Power Down" night at home where they don't participate in any small screen recreation or conduct a "Power Down Challenge" as a fundraiser Environment • Remove the television and DVD player from the view of children I Move We Move, The Guide Edition 1 August 2009 AREA HEALTH SERVICE 2.10
