Scenarios: Thomas & Arik - Managing Emotions

Post by momotayeasmin » Sat Nov 21, 2015 1:19 pm

Thomas
Thomas (22 months) has been playing with some farm animals and blocks on the verandah. He decides to relocate to the garden and attempts to carry all of the animals and blocks at the same time. His attempts to pick up and hold on to all of these materials fails, he keeps dropping things and becoming increasingly frustrated.
Kael (18 months) picks up the horse dropped by Thomas and begins to walk away with it in his hand. Thomas throws down the materials he is holding and begins to scream. He then drops to the ground sobbing and kicking his legs.


How could the Educator in the Scenario ‘Thomas’ respond to help the children manage their emotions?
The Educator need to recognize and respond properly to a child emotional cue. She need to understand him or support him to develop of trust and sense of security.


I hate you!
Arik (4 years 2 months) is having an upset day. He has just pushed Zac off the walking beam and is screaming that he is an “idiot”. Zac responds by saying to Arik that he is a “dumb head baby”.
The Educator, Brian, approaches Arik to ask what is happening. Brian puts his hand on Arik’s shoulder to calm him, but Arik jerks away and runs crying to the bathroom. Brian follows Arik and tries to talk to him.
Brian: “I can see you’re really angry and upset, Arik can we talk about it?”
Arik: “No, I hate you and I hate dumb Zac”
Arik then starts to pull paper from the towel dispenser and throw it around the bathroom.


Read the scenario and suggest how the Educator should respond to help the children manage their emotions?
Firstly Educator need to comfort Arik because he is upset. Then she need to support him to understand that the adult is sympathetic to their needs and is emotionally available to respond to these needs.


Is those answer correct or not?

I need help if its not correct

OK, How does the educator do this? What does she say? What does she do?

Firstly Educator need to comfort Arik because he is upset. Then she need to support him to understand that the adult is sympathetic to their needs and is emotionally available to respond to these needs

The educator is trying but Arik said that he hates you... what else could the educator do?

Thomas

Educator need to Thimas you can’t carry Two things at a time but if you want to move more toys then you need help someone and that’s way Kale want to help you to move this toys. So you need to gentle with your friend and share with him

Arik

Firstly Educator need to comfort Arik because he is upset and then try to diverse his attention from that. Then she need to understand Arik that if someone do misbehave with you then “Do you like it?”So if you don’t like it then you need to be gentle with your friends and share with him and we can’t use bad word with anybody.

Is it correct?
