Your Question?
CASE Study:
Sara (9 months) has been in care for two months. Whenever she is placed in a cot she begins screaming. She pulls herself to a standing position and sometimes flings herself backwards, arching her back as she screams.

i. In the scenario, identify Sara’s needs and how she might be feeling?
ii. Identify how the Educator can involve Sara’s family in meeting her sleep needs?

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
With baby’s growing perceptiveness she can imagine the way she wants things to be. When she does not get her own way, she may show she is upset not just by crying but by working herself up physically too. Hold her tight if she starts to arch her back. Divert her to new activity she will quickly forget what upset her.
ii)Educator should discuss problem with Sara’s parents. Educator can communicate with Sara’s family about changing her sleeping routines and pattern that could help her sleep.

Description and Message:

[Lorina]

Think about how Sara sleeps at home and what type of bed she sleeps in. She may feel uncomfortable or scared to sleep in the cot especially if she isn't used to it. Maybe her parents need to bring something from home for sleep time that Sara is familiar with in order to create a more relaxing environment for her to sleep. Check her sleep routine with her parents and utilise this information to use within the centre.

Hope this helps,
