Your Question?
8. Identify and briefly outline 4 child-focused practices you can routinely employ in your role to uphold the rights of the child and that encourage children to participate in age-appropriate decision making.
What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
Answer:
1. Offering choices, for example would you like to play with the blue truck or the red truck and if too young to know colours asking the child to point to the one they want to play with
2. Role play, helps to develop the child’s communication skills and gives them the choice to decide which direction the roleplay goes.
3. Having group time and listening and learning about each childs needs, wants and personalities, the child can openly communicate and make decisions on what they would like to talk about.
4. Play games that involve the kids to make preferences, for example playing a yes and no game and getting the children make a choice of which circle to sit in (Yes or No).

Thank you again
