Description and Message:
[*]Tak (2 yrs) will help himself to much more than he can eat and be very cross if anyone tries to stop him.

developmental information;
At 2 years, Tak has become very independent and will often say, ‘Me do it’.


[*]Rea (3 yrs) who points rather than ask for things, will sit quietly and watch the others eat.

developmental information;
Rea relies on gestures to have her needs met. At Rea’s age she should be verbalising her needs and choices.


[*]Kevin (4.9 yrs) will take charge of the plate and give the children the fruit he does not like.

developmental information;
Kevin is the oldest of four children. His lifestyle is unpredictable and chaotic.


[*]Angela (5.2 yrs) will be ‘too busy’ playing to come to morning tea even though she knows there will be nothing else to eat until lunch time.

developmental information;
Angela has been in child care for four and a half years. She is an extremely bright child and lately has become engrossed in creating intricate drawings.[/i]

Hi I am stuck on this question too?

I was going to write things like - Give Mia a small bowl with a few different things in it that she can touch before eating without her touching everyone else’s food.

Ask Tak to only pick a certain number of foods and help count them out with him.

When Rea points to what she wants ask her to say the name each time... if she refuses model the name for her clearly a few time when you put it on her plate.

Am I on the right track?

[Lorina]

Yes, you're on the right track with your response.

With Rea you could also say "what piece of fruit would you like" when Rea points you could say "Rea I didn't hear you, could you tell me again" to try and encourage her to talk... Also, when doing this with Rea you could do so away from others since she may feel shy to speak while being watched...

Hope this helps,
