CHCECE003 Provide Care for Children
Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2016 5:43 pm
Hi all!
I am currently completing my GAP tasks in my cert 3 and have come across a question I'm stuck on! I am so close to completion and am having a massive block!
"For each of the following points provide three (3) detailed examples of an experience with children where you have:
Set up and implemented a challenging environment which you created to scaffold the children’s learning and development and offered age appropriate risk-taking? (This may mean you adapted an experience to make it more challenging or offer chances for appropriate risk taking)."
I need 3 examples, but have answered one, not sure if I'm heading in the right direction (?!)
Answer 1: "During my visit to the babies room, as mentioned above, we have a few children who cannot yet walk. Many of them can pull themselves up on chairs and tables etc. I try and take advantage when I see children doing this. I will find a toy they may be interested in, hold out my hand for them to take for stability and support, and encourage them to walk toward me. I try and do this as often as I can and gradually take my hand back further and further encouraging them to take steps on their own. This builds trust between myself and the baby. It allows them to make the conscious decision to either try and take a step and risk falling, or to not take the step at all. In time, will, with any luck, lead to their first steps by themselves"
Am I on the right path? And could you also please provide some examples of other appropriate risk taking activities I could use for my other two examples?
Thank you in advance!
