Chccn302a-provide care for children

Post by erin.ruthy1303 » Sun Jan 29, 2012 12:37 am

Hello I'm new to this I'm currently working on the assignment chccn302a and I'm a I'll stuck on a question
The question is outline rest routines for an 8 month old baby
A 2 year old
A 5 year old
And a 10 year old in OSHS's rest/relaxation needs

I currently work in OSHC

What I have so far is

8month old baby rest routine:

- give child food or bottle deepening on if they have been introduced to solids
- change child's nappy
- wash child's hands or wipe with a wipe
- remove heavy clothing and shoes
- place child at the end of cot
- cover in blanketing if necessary ensuring not to cover face or arms
- dim lights or turn them off
- turn on calm and relaxing music

2 year old rest routine:
- give child food /have lunch
- nappy change/ toileting
- wash child's hands or wipe with a wipe
- remove heavy clothing and shoes
- place on bed
- give child activity until other children are settled
- remove activity from child and calmly tell the to lay down
- dim lights or turn them off
- turn on calm and relaxing music

5 year old rest routine:
- give child food/ have lunch
- go to the toilet
- wash hands
- remove heavy clothing and shoes or have child remove them
- place on bed
- give child activity until other children are settled
- remoVe activity from child and calmly tell them to lay down
- dim lights or turn them off
- turn on calm and relaxing music

10 year old rest/relaxation
- have afternoon tea
- go to the toilet
- wash hands
- supply child with activities that implement them to be pretend and use their imagination for example a sand pit , painting or read a story

With the baby I would add that the baby is to be placed on its back in its cot

what do you mean by this?

For a 10 yr old I would not expect them to sleep so would probably give them books to read during quiet time or so some other kind of quiet activity... same may go for the 5 yr oldsm most children this age will not have a sleep during the day

As i mentioned I do not think playing in a sandpit etc are rest/relaxation things. I think doing quiet solitary activities like puzzles, colouring sheets etc would be more appropriate or yes reading a book

not sure 10 year olds would be too interested in block play, maybe some more complex contruction type things but that may be too noisy for rest time.
I think u need to think of more silent/quiet/calm activties they can do resting on a matress or just in an area of their own
