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.

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.
