Have you ever identified signs of physical or emotional abuse of a child? If so, what action did you take?

Identifying abuse in children, no matter the type, is a somber topic and one of reality for child care providers. Throughout your career you may have kids confide in you, tell you their secrets, or you may see unusual behavior or even physical signs such as bruises. If you have experience in childcare, you may have received training on what to do when you identify signs of abuse. If you do not have training on this topic, ask the interviewer what they recommend at this daycare center, but show them that you have the correct instincts.

"Although I have not received formal training on this topic, my instinct would be to document the incident and hand in that report to my program director immediately. Then, I assume the program director would call the police or CPS. Is this correct?"
