CHCECE005 - Scenario: Juliette Being Dropped Off By Her Father
Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2015 7:15 pm
Hey there any help would be great...
Question:
Two-year-old Juliette is dropped off each morning by her father. He is usually in a hurry. Lately, Juliette has been really cranky shortly after drop off and you want to speak to her father about it. When you ask about it one morning, he says he has no idea why she might be cranky lately, but that you should ask her mother. He says, “She seems to know everything about everyone. I’m just her father”
What would you do? Be specific.
So far I have come up with this but I know that I need more of an answer than this:
Firstly i could respond to Juliettes father by letting him know that any information he has about Juliette is important and that if there is anything he may think of that could be putting Juliette in this mood or if he thinks of any strategies to help Juliette settle after drop off that he can either let myself or another staff member know when he has time, or if he is limited to time I could ask that he either calls or emails when he does have spare time or to even leave a note in the letter box.
I could also ask that if Juliette has a comfort item at home such as a teddy bear, doll, blanket etc, if he could bring it in with him next time as this may help Juliette to settle.
Im not sure if I should be getting in contact with Juliettes mother to show concerns for Juliettes mood or not and I think i should be including that I will let staff and educators that work with Juliette know about what I have noticed with Juliette and to ensure that we all keep each other up to date and ensure we provide comfort to Juliette to help settle her
Any help would be extremley great!
Thanx in advance
