I need some help regarding my assignment please help. My questions are

For each situation suggest how carer might respond.

1. 2 year old harry is still waking 2-3 times every night.
Answer: Because of hungry, wet nappy, not well

2. Kamilah (10mths) is not crawling . Her mother is extremely worried.
Answer: No worries she might crawl soon.

3. kael (4 yrs) has a very fiery temper . His mother is worried that he is becoming increasingly aggressive.
Answer:

4. Janan (4.9 yrs) has not made any special friends at childcare. She is rarely invited to birthday parties.
Answer: Try to encourage janan to be friendly with other children and interact with carer also.

5. Kent (18 mths) is boardering on abese. He always eats everything that is offered and often cries for more. His mother is very concerned about his weight.
Answer: Check up with doctor

6. Jonty (4.7 yrs) is an extremely bright child. He has taught himself to read and write. Jonty is extremely shy and tends to stutter if asked a direct question. His parents are concerned that he won't cope at school next year.


please help everyone.

1. could be what you mentioned, could also be other factors like him having too much sleep during the day, lack of routine, what foods he has had at dinnertime etc

2. Average age for a child to crawl can be anything from 8-12mnths. If the parents are overly worried they can take the child to the doctor.

3. You need to find the triggers for his temper... what causes him to become agressive. Children sometimes become agressive because they cannot express what is upsetting them properly.

4. Your answer is correct. Also perhaps set up activities for the children where they have to work with someone else in class and pair her up with another child who you believe she would get along with

5. If he is 18mnths and obese maybe he is not getting nutritionally good food and is just getting sugary unsuitable foods. Fresh foods would fill him up more and he would not get hungry so quickly after eating the previous meal.

6. I would give him more chances to speak to others, eg. ask him questions and tell him he can take his time to answer. Get him to do things like show-and-tell. Build up his confidence slowly.

Hello

Thank you so much for your help. I'm getting problem with same unit. Can I write some more problem.

Thank you

Hello

I'm getting problem with this scenario.

Lexie (2 years) has been attending child care for three months and still has days where she finds it difficult to separate from mum. For the next two weeks there will be a change in routine and dad will be bringing lexie to the centre on his way to work instead of mum. The carer is concerned that this change in routine might mean a bit of a setback for lexie. The carer has worked with mum to established a consistent separation routine-mum says goodbye and lexie and the carer go to the window that looks out over the car park and wait for mum to walk by and wave. Even though lexie still cries some mornings she seems to accept the separation and is comforted by the departure ritual. Yesterday when dad left he reluctantly followed the routine, even though lexie screamed. Today however he left without saying goodbye. The carer could understand that he probably thought that it was better to leave while lexie was happily playing. However when lexie realised that dad has gone she started to cry. She ran to the window calling for her father. 'Daddy gone' It took the carer a long time to settle lexie. The carer was annoyed with dad as she had made a point of explaining the daily separation ritual to him.

A. Taking on the role of the carer explain to lexie's dad, why it is inappropriate to sneak away without saying goodbye.
B. Explain to dad how a separation ritual or routine assists lexie.

Hello

I'm writing my answer for above scenario

1. Parents can help their infant or toddler learn to adjust to their absence by letting trusted caregivers babysit the child. This helps the child learn to trust and bond with other adults and understand that their parents will return. children can Feel safe in their home environment,Trust people other than their parents,Trust that their parents will return. Most children will experience some degree of separation anxiety when in unfamiliar situations, especially when separated from their parents.
When children are in situations (such as hospitals) and are experiencing stress (such as illness or pain), they seek the safety, comfort, and protection of their parents. This is why it is important to stay with your child as much as is possible. Your presence can actually reduce the amount of pain the child experiences, as anxiety of any kind makes pain worse.

2. when lexie mum used to left her, she always says goodbye and I'd take her to the window to look her mum that she gone and return soon. This separation is accepted by her but today lexie dad, you left your child here without saying goodbye. she feels that you leave her alone here and might not come to pick her.she started to cry and and calling your name. it's took me a long time to set her.

Sweta - some of your answer 1 seems copied off the internet - this is not legal. you cannot copy word to word things off websites etc unless you properly reference them.
Anyway there is no need to mention the hospital situation, this website you have used does but they are looking at seperation anxiety in a different context there.
You are looking at it from a caregivers perspective so answer the question ONLY from that aspect.
The question asks you to explain to Lexies dad ... which means you have to write your answer like you were speaking to her dad
" Mr X when you leave without Lexie seeing you it upsets her when she realises you have left. It would be better if you said good bye to her before you left and reassured her that you would be back at X time or mummy would be here at X time to pick her up.... etc etc"
etc etc = you write whatever else you feel you would say to lexies dad

you can even answer B along with A as I would then continue the above conversation explaining to the dad how the ritual or routine helps lexie
hope this helps

Hello

Thank you for your help.

I have Two more question which I got a problem. My answers are correct or not

(A) For each set of examples of child rearing practices and beliefs describe how these may challenge the values and beliefs of yourself as a carer.

1. Maria always nurses her baby to sleep
Answer: It might challenge the carer role because 1 carer have to care for four children. if she went to nurses the maria baby then who will care for three children so maria has to think that there are many childrens like maria baby who need nurses but carer has to take care of everyone as equal.
2. Eva is strict about bedtime: 7.30pm,lights out at 8.00pm
Answer: It might not be challenge because Eva will sleep at her own house with their parents at her own bedtime.
3.Karesh sleeps with his mum and dad. All the children have done so till they are about 2 years old.

(B) For this task you are to search for websites that could be used to assist you to provide information and support to NESB Families.

1. What information is available on these sites that could be used to support families from NESB?
2. Download one example of a resourse and describe how it could be used in the service to support families from NESB.

Please I'm having problem with these two question any help would be appreciate. I dn't know how to get websites. I try alot but couldn't get successful so please.

In regards to the first post, this is what i would write.



3. kael (4 yrs) has a very fiery temper . His mother is worried that he is becoming increasingly aggressive.
Answer:

First i would ask if any situations around Kael have changed recently that may be upsetting him, such as living arrangements, or family dynamics. In ruling out any changes, i would ask if the parent had noticed a pattern of behaviors that may be triggering Kaels tempers.
I would suggest a visit to her GP to discuss the issue further to rule out any underlying medical contributions such as allergies or anything else.

Hello Everyone

Can you help me with above related question.
I need help of 2 question and have submitted my answer there too.

Any help would be great.

Hi Sweta,

With these questions for each scenario you will need to add in your own values and beliefs. There shouldn't be a right or wrong answer because it's what your view is.... However, for some of the scenarios I think you may have gotten off track. For example:

Zi and Trish don't have any bedtimes rules: the children sleep when and where they want to
Answer: It might not be challenge because they can sleep anytime whenever they want to sleep.

For me - I believe that children should have a consistent and stable bed time and bed time routine which should be enforced by parents. Children need to get a good night sleep in order to function properly and get the most out of their day.

Sarita sends kali in her best clothes and tells her to 'stay clean'. As a woman it is her responsibility to ensure her children areimpleccably dressed and clean as this reflects on the status of the family.

For me - I believe when a child arrives at a centre they should be dressed to experience all types of play and situations. Whether it is playing in the sandpit, accidently spilling food on themselves during meal times, playing with water, painting etc... Children shouldn't be given limitations to what they can or can't participate in. I believe that most children aren't able to experience these types of play at their home so when they come to the centre they have an opportunity to do so.

Just have a think about the other scenarios and see what you can come up with...

Cheers ,
L.A

Hi every one
Sorry because i forgot to write my answers

Please read the following scenario and then answer the questions:
Ben is eight years old. He is always talking to the others on his table.He does little or no work and although he starts lot of tasks he never seems to finish any of them. Ben is constantly on the move. He doesn't sleep much and can't even concentrate on computer games or television.He can't settle with one friend. Ben has Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder..Ben's parents and the school need support and advice from medical and psychological services.

For this task , make suggestions on how the routine , staff interactions and the environment could be changed or altered to provide for Ben's individual needs.



My answer is : Routine : Set classroom activity/ lesson, staff interaction: Talking to classmates. Asked to stop. Environment : Classroom

Routine: Completing classroom work,staff interaction: Failed to complete task.Asked to focus.Environment : Classroom

Routine: Night-time/bed-time/sleep,staff interaction: asked to get more nightly bedtime rest , fails to concentrate,environment: home

Routine: Overall school day, staff interaction: can not settle with one friend, environment: school

And also: Parents and carers can help children with ADHD manage their behaviour by:
Being positive about your child. Show them the good things about themselves. Even some parts of ADHD can be seen as positive e.g. lots of energy, willing to try new things, ready to talk, spontaneous, happy enthusiastic, imaginative, and so on;
Demonstrating your own positive communication and problem solving skills.
Noticing and using lots of rewards and praise for good behaviour. Often rewards or consequences mean less to children with ADHD so use special rewards your child likes. Rewards encourage children to work eg. little toys or things they want, particular privileges or special activities;
Making sure children have clear and consistent routines at home and school;
Gaining their attention by starting a request or instruction with their name;
Using short, to the point, instructions. Children with ADHD often have difficulty understanding spoken information. The more words you use, the less they understand;
Breaking down jobs into smaller steps. Praise and encourage the child for trying as well as for finishing the job.
Praise helps children learn to manage their behaviours and builds confidence;
Giving children a quiet place to study. Turn off radio and TV. Make sure the space is clear and s/he only has the things needed to do the work;
Telling children straight away about how they are going. Children with ADHD need quicker feedback for their behaviour because their attention is often shorter than other children;
Being confident, consistent and quick to respond when your child misbehaves. Children with ADHD usually act without thinking about consequences.Giving consistent and immediate consequences assists children to learn self-control;
Having a good understanding of your child's ability to control their behaviours. Keep in mind what is realistic for your child.
