Aussie Childcare Network Forum

A few questions I'm not sure on.. any suggestions?

When applying limits, strategies need to be adapted in accordance with the age/stage of
development of the child. Also cultural differences should be taken into account. Describe the different methods that would be appropriate.

It’s important to use daily routines as opportunities to acquire and practise skills. True or false? Explain.

Research one of the following religions and 3 features of its dietary requirements (use more than one source):
 Islam
Islamic religion forbids the consumption of pork, alcohol and animals that have died of natural causes. Sea animals, which do not have fins or scales are considered undesirable. (only things I can find)

Islamic Dietary Practices
Islam prohibits Muslims from consuming any of the following items:
• Alcohol. This includes alcoholic beverages such as wine and liquor, as well as any food items that contain alcohol. Islam forbids the use of any mind-altering substances, whether in the form of food, drink or smoking. Muslims believe that maintaining health, Allah’s gift, requires mastering full control over one’s mind, body and spirit at all times.
• Pork or any pork products, such as lard, ham and pepperoni. This includes consuming any food that contains these items in any concentration or amount. Therefore, all foods containing animal shortening are forbidden, since this shortening is usually made from pork fat. It is permissible to eat foods containing vegetable shortening.
• Blood. Raw meat must be soaked in water to drain out the blood before cooking. Muslims are permitted to eat only well-done cooked meat where no trace of blood can be found after cooking.
Islam also forbids cooking, eating or drinking from any pans, dishes, cups or table utensils that were used to prepare food containing pork or alcohol. They cannot be used to prepare or serve food for Muslims until they are thoroughly washed.
Animals and poultry must be slaughtered by cutting both the neck artery and vein to cause instant death and decrease animal suffering. The name of Allah must be mentioned during the slaughtering of the animal to bless it and make it Halal (lawful) to eat.
Islam also stresses certain hygienic measures such as washing hands before and after eating, and cleaning the teeth frequently. A Muslim who has eaten onions will pray at home, rather than in the mosque, so as not to offend others and the angels.

Thank you so much, that really helped. Now I'm just having trouble with the first 2 questions.

Thanks in advance....!
