Encouraging Cooperative Behaviour & Historical Issues Of ATSI

[seep]

Q1-How could you change the environment in the following situations to encourage more co operative behavior

SCENARIO 1

Harrison is 4 years old and has recently commenced at your service 5 days a week. He still experiences separation anxiety and cries when his mum leaves. After some time, he settles down and involves himself in the activities of the day and seems to enjoy himself. you have observed that he copes best when he is allowed to play quietly alone until he chooses to involve himself. Today, he arrives later than usual. you observe that when he says goodbye to mum he seems a bit lost as the room has been packed away already and the children are preparing to go outside. he stands at the lockers, crying.

I will go to the Harrison ang give him a warm hug to feel him relaxed. then I will bring him along with me in the room, I will ask the other children to give a warm welcome to him so that he may feel better, then I will try to distract Harrison by talking with him and I will explain to him that we are going out to play and it will be alot of fun. after going out I will request some confident kids to try to involve Harrison in their play while I will keep watching them if they are playing well or not if Harrison feel upset I will try to adjust him in the activity and when he will be relaxed I will let him play with his fellows
----------------------------------------------
SCENARIO2-

Sam and Peter are both 3 years old and are happily playing in the sandpit. they have all the buckets around them and are filling them all up. Tom and Aaron, who are 4 years old, decide to play in the sandpit as well. They automatically pick up the buckets that Sam and Peter have filled, tip them out and take them to their own corner to play. Sam and peter, start to yell and hit the boys with their shovels and pull the buckets back off them

I will separate the boys and will stop them fighting, then I will explain to Sam and Peter that in care they need to share everything with their fellows it make them look nicer to their fellows and to Tom and Aaron I will explain to them that it always look nice to ask for something if someone is already playing with the stuff then I will suggest them a good sand play to play together to resolve the issue
---------------------------------------------------
SCENARIO 3-

you have set the table up for four children to participate in a college activity at one time. Holly wants to do an art work as well and pulls a chair across to the table. she reaches across the table to grab the materials in front of the other four children. A fight breaks out with children grabbing materials and yelling at Holly

Its ok if Holly wants to take turn first because it happens when someone really wants something eagerly
I will stop the kids from fighting politely and will explain the kids on the table that it is easy for us to adjust one more of friend with us then everyone will be having fun time together ,I will ask everybody to please put the activity stuff back at its place, after that I will adjust one more chair with the table it will be my duty to be more efficient but kids will be relaxed and have fun

Q-for each the following scenarios, identify if the guideline is consistent with the ability of the child. Explain your answer.

Scenario 1-

Brandon is 2 years old. He becomes upset if he does not get the bike first when the children go outdoors. His educator tells him to wait his turn and go and play in the sandpit.

I will explain to him that all children are equal in the care and everybody has the right to get the turn, before or after doesn't matter the thing that matters is that we ride without hurting anybody's emotions. so its all OK if we give others chance to take turn first so its good to play in sandpit while waiting for the turn for bike, as sandpit is equally fun to play in.
----------------------------------------------------------
Scenario2-

Mohammad is 4 years old. He does not play with the other children. If they come into the space where he is playing, he hides his face. the educator sits with him and tells him what is happening, she says " here comes Yianni, he is going to read a book. He is coming to sit near us to read, would you like to listen to a story while Yianni reads?"

I will explain to Mohammad politely that playing alone is not fun at all it makes us isolated and we all need friends in our life to play with as friends give us splendid ideas many times. and as much friends as we have makes us rich so it's good if we listen a story from Yianni you will surly like his way of telling a story and he will be a good friend in future
-----------------------------------------------------------
Scenario3-

Leo is 7 years old and has a special friendship with Megan. If another child comes near Megan to play, Leo pushes them away, the educator tells him that he needs to go and sit on his own until he can play properly.

I will tell Leo that its very bad to hurt someone as if someone hurt us we will definitely don't like that child and it shows that we don't know how to play with others peacefully and I really think that he need to sit quietly aside and think about his behavior and after sometime he need to come to me and tell me what he think how can he improve his behavior with others

Q3-Identify any historical issue in relation to Aboriginal/Torres strait islander people and the land that the service is on, including at regional and state levels.

I live in Nsw, so here is my answer

The government of Australia has a very poor record when it comes to treatment of its Aboriginal citizens. Indigenous Australians were dispossessed of their land, despised for their culture, and marginalized, abused, and murdered. Under several federal and state programs that continued into the 1970s, the government forcibly removed Aboriginal children from their families and sent them to white families and church-run institutions for cultural reprogramming. That same hostile attitude toward Aboriginal peoples was reflected in the Australian government’s long and vigorous opposition to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Fortunately, there have been improvements in the past couple of years. Indigenous peoples on average live 17 years less than non-Indigenous people, and every measure of social and physical welfare, from infant mortality to nutrition to health, housing, education, and employment, is significantly lower for Aboriginal Australians than for non-Indigenous Australians. And all of the negative markers for disenfranchised populations—imprisonment, domestic violence, alcoholism—are much higher for Aboriginal peoples. An Aboriginal man is 13 times as likely to be in jail as a non-Indigenous Australian, and an Indigenous teenager is 28 times more likely to be in jail. The problems facing Indigenous Australians are similar to those of Indigenous Peoples around the world, and Cultural Survival was founded 40 years ago to address those problems.
