CHCRF301D - Work effectively with families

Post by Mia » Thu Feb 02, 2012 1:26 pm

I have a question regarding to my assignment:
- How would you listen and respond to a father who is concerned about his son: Father does not like that his son plays with girls at the center. He says his son is a 'real boy, we do not want him to be a weakling and give him a smack if he is naughty!'
- I'd Answer: Our center is coed, and we do not separate girls from boys while they are playing, also i can add: we didn't realize it would raise a concern.. but what else ??
- about smacking: A: - The centre policy states that we do not smack, hit, hurt children physically as a discipline method.... how can i tell him this on a professional way?? What else can i tell this parent? I should direct him to the director of the center to talk further about his issue?

Thx so much for helping!

Hi Mia,

Had a bit of a chuckle when I read the scenario...:giggle:

For the first point... You can add that it is beneficial for his son to be given an opportunity to build friendships with girls as he will less likely to form gender stereotypes in the future and will also help his son realize the equality between sexes. Also when playing with girls his son will develop respect for them, which will help in later years.

For the second point... Yes, referring to the centre policy for behavior management is a good idea. You could also tell the father other ways that you handle challenging behavior which occurs in the room and what techniques you use.

Thankfully I have never been faced with this scenario cuz I would probably laugh if a parent said this to me!! HAHA..LOL..

Hope This Helps,

Cheers :geek:,

LOL yeah I would probably laugh if I heard this as I would think the parent was joking! Hopefully no one has or has encountered this scenario in real life!
