Post by stephanie_wu007 » Fri Oct 09, 2015 10:32 am

Hi,everyone:
Please halp me to answer this assignment question:

Lali's(16 months)family is from India.They have been in Australia for three months.Lali has now been at the centre for six weeks and attends two days per week.Her parents are undertaking studies at the univerity and will be in Australia for two years.
Lali's parents speak fluent English and Assamese.They speak to Lali mainly in Assamese but want her to also learn English.
When Lali is not in childcare she is cared for by her maternal grandmother who has made the trip with the family.Lali's grandmother also lived with the family in India and has always helped to care for Lali.Grandmother speaks limited English and talks to Lali in Assamese.Lali is used to the constant attention fo her family and finds the unfamiliar surroundings of childcare difficult.she follows the Educator around whimpering and holding her arms up to be carried.When is time for Lali to sleep she screams when the Educator lifts her into a cot.The educator finds that the only way she can get Lali to sleep is to sit with her in the rocking chair and gentle rock her to sleep.

1/what factors have contributed to Lali finding it difficult to settle into childcare?
2/waht could you do to support Lali to adjust to care?

Thanks!

For Q1 - Read through the scenario and add points from the scenario that may be factors why Lali is finding it difficult to settle into care:
- They have been in Australia for three months
- Lali is used to the constant attention of her family and finds the unfamiliar surroundings of childcare difficult. etc.


For Q2 - How could you support Lali settle:

- find out what interests her and add these into the environment
- use common Assamese words with Lali
- spend one on one time with her to build relationship etc.

Hope this helps,
