Hello Everyone
I got problem with this question and I dnt know where to start and how to do. My head is getting in trouble. I dnt know how to speak or support language of children so any help would be great. Any idea would be helpful.
Read the following secanarios and suggest how the carer might respond in order to support each child's language development.
1. Carrie(5mths) wriggles,stretches out her hand and legs and coos when spoken to.
2. Clara(7yrs) tries to recall a song she has been learning at school. However, she can only remember a few words.
3. Seren(13mths) points to familiar animals and objects in a book when asked to do so by the carer.
4. Preschoolers Cassi, Ella and Sadie have draped themselves in various lengths of fabric and announce to the carer. ' We are all princess and we are going to for a ride on a magic boat'.
5. 2.9 yrs old grace is attempting to place her teddy into the tray of her tricycle. she already has a larger teddy and a doll in the tray. The teddy keeps falling out. Grace squats down and reorganises the tray, saying 'go there'.
6. Billy(3yrs) is intently watching a caterpillar eat a leaf. he picks petals from a nearby flower and attempts to feed them to the caterpillar. 'I think the caterpillar might like to eat this flower'.
7. Rean(4yrs) has spent a long time creating a colourful collage using a variety of materials. He looks up at you with a smile on his face.
8. Indira(4yrs) uses the bubble wand to make large bubbles. 'Look, colours'.
9. Alice(14mth) points to a cat walking along the fence, 'Tat'
10. Hadden(6yrs) 'we went on the warship yesterday and i saw that big thing that the ropes are tied to on the dock'.
11. Pia and Maddy(10yrs) are looking at a book about dolphins. Maddy points to a picture, 'Thats my favourite dolphin in picture' Pia responds, 'Thats not a dolphin, thats a porpoise.' Maddy replies, Oh well, same thing.

Re: Interact effectively with children
Hello
I'm on a right track or not I'm little be confused. I have one scenario: Not ready to pack up
Isaac(4.6yrs) is a bright child who enjoys puzzles and table games. He particularly likes to use the small coloured blocks to create elaborate patterns. Even though other children are starting to pack away, Isaac continues with his pattern making. Isaac, you have to pack up now, says Ella (3.9yrs). I'm not finished yet, Isaac responds. But it's a pack away time, Isaac! says Ella. Isaac continues to work on his pattern, ignoring Ella. Isaac, I said pack away now! Ella then swipes some of Isaac's blocks into a container, destroying his pattern. Isaac screams at Ella. 'You idiot!' he pushes Ella and she falls backwards, tipping over a chair. The carer,alerted by the noise rushes over. 'What's going on here? 'He pushed me over', said Ella. 'she wrecked my pattern', complains Isaac. "Isaac, you know we don't push our friends' says the carer. "Ella's not my friend. she is stupid.' 'Isaac, pick up the chair and pack up the blocks. Ella, you can come with me.' Isaac sits at the table and fiddles with the blocks. He started to cry as he puts the blocks into the container.
1. How could this situation have been avoided?
Answer: carers should come and say herself that it's a pack up time Isaac. All children are packing up their game. If you have completed your game then put in the container.
2. Comment on the response of the carer- how could she have improved her response?
Answer: She could improved her response by giving some more time to play when children are not ready to pack up the game. she could supervise the children at pack up time and know that all children are done or not.

Re: Interact effectively with children
My comments answers are in red
1. Carrie(5mths) wriggles,stretches out her hand and legs and coos when spoken to.
Answer: Carris is 5 months old, you can sing songs to her, talk to her about anything around her etc. She responds to being spoken to so just speak to her about anything and everything.
2. Clara(7yrs) tries to recall a song she has been learning at school. However, she can only remember a few words.
Answer: Clara. you are trying to sing a song. I'll help you but you have to remember a few words of a song then we'll sing together and you can sing again.
I would say "well done Clara you remember the words to the song, do you want to sing it again so we can sing the whole song? - the way you have said it implies she HAS to remember words and that perhaps she hasnt done well enough and you are just singing so she can remember the rest, it puts too much pressure on a child
3. Seren(13mths) points to familiar animals and objects in a book when asked to do so by the carer.
Answer: You have pointed in a right objects seren. you have to learn and see more familiar books.
Seren is 13 months old saying you have to learn and see more familiar books will make so sense to him.... I would clap and say "well done Seren" and show happiness everytime he gets it right and then say "shall we look at this book and look at more things" and thus you are expanding his learning experience by teaching him new objects and animals etc
4. Preschoolers Cassi, Ella and Sadie have draped themselves in various lengths of fabric and announce to the carer. ' We are all princess and we are going to for a ride on a magic boat'.
Answer: Hello my princess where are you guys going to ride on. should I come to share with you all
I would say "wow what pretty princesses you are" ... "where will your magic boat be taking you?" "what will you do there?" etc ... Also "guys" is not appropriate language to be using with children, we are trying to teach them to speak proper words so use their names or say you...."guys" is ok if you are talking to people your age NOT to children developing language skills
5. 2.9 yrs old grace is attempting to place her teddy into the tray of her tricycle. she already has a larger teddy and a doll in the tray. The teddy keeps falling out. Grace squats down and reorganises the tray, saying 'go there'.
Answer: Grace, don't be angry. you could put small teddy and doll instead of large teddy in your tricycle and it wouldn't fall again and you can enjoy.
You are assuming Grace is angry, she may not be.... I would say "Grace what are you trying to do? Do you want both teddies to ride with you? .... Maybe there is not enough space for them to go in together, maybe they can have a ride one at a time?" and see what her responses are. ...she may insist she wants both to ride so you maybe can ask if you can help her get them in and see what happens
6. Billy(3yrs) is intently watching a caterpillar eat a leaf. he picks petals from a nearby flower and attempts to feed them to the caterpillar. 'I think the caterpillar might like to eat this flower'.
Answer: Thats a good idea Billy lets see if he eats it, he may not though but we can try
7. Rean(4yrs) has spent a long time creating a colourful collage using a variety of materials. He looks up at you with a smile on his face.
Answer: You have create a wonderful colour and have done a good work rean. I'm impress with you.
I wouldnt say "im impressed with you" this implies if he doesnt do such a great job you wouldnt be impressed. Again puts pressure on a child to create something amazing every time even if they dont want to because they will want approval.... I would say "that is beautiful, you have used lots of colours and things to make it, did you enjoy making it? Would you like to put it on the wall? take it home? etc"
8. Indira(4yrs) uses the bubble wand to make large bubbles. 'Look, colours'.
Answer: What's the colours of bubble indira? There are different colours which colours of bubble do you like?
Yes you can ask her what colours she see, do they change? etc
9. Alice(14mth) points to a cat walking along the fence, 'Tat'
Answer: Do you love cat. What is cat doing there Alice?
Yes it is a Cat (Emphasize the C since Alice said Tat and not Cat) ... What is the cat doing? what colour is the cat? do you like cats? repeat cat in each sentence so she picks up on the pronunciation of Cat
10. Hadden(6yrs) 'we went on the warship yesterday and i saw that big thing that the ropes are tied to on the dock'.
Answer:
Where was the warship? who took you? did you take pictures? do you know what the big thing the ropes are tied to is called? maybe we can find out etc
11. Pia and Maddy(10yrs) are looking at a book about dolphins. Maddy points to a picture, 'Thats my favourite dolphin in picture' Pia responds, 'Thats not a dolphin, thats a porpoise.' Maddy replies, Oh well, same thing.
Answer: You would obviously have to know the difference or similarities of dolphins and porpoises to address this situation. You could say yes they are very similar and many people would not know the difference. Pia can you tell us what a porpoise is and how is it different to a dolphin
1. Carrie(5mths) wriggles,stretches out her hand and legs and coos when spoken to.
Answer: Carris is 5 months old, you can sing songs to her, talk to her about anything around her etc. She responds to being spoken to so just speak to her about anything and everything.

Re: Interact effectively with children
Understand that it is asking you to write an open-ended question for each.
Some of your answers are not open-ended as most likely you will get a yes/no or equally short answer from the child.
This is taken off the web and perhaps will give you more of an idea
An open-ended question is designed to encourage a full, meaningful answer using the subject's own knowledge and/or feelings. It is the opposite of a closed-ended question, which encourages a short or single-word answer. Open-ended questions also tend to be more objective and less leading than closed-ended questions.
Open-ended questions typically begin with words such as "Why" and "How", or phrases such as "Tell me about...". Often they are not technically a question, but a statement which implicitly asks for a response.
Perhaps you can now re-write your responses so they are open-ended

Re: Interact effectively with children
Hello
Thanks fefe for your help.
I'm on a right track or not I'm little be confused. I have one scenario: Not ready to pack up
Isaac(4.6yrs) is a bright child who enjoys puzzles and table games. He particularly likes to use the small coloured blocks to create elaborate patterns. Even though other children are starting to pack away, Isaac continues with his pattern making. Isaac, you have to pack up now, says Ella (3.9yrs). I'm not finished yet, Isaac responds. But it's a pack away time, Isaac! says Ella. Isaac continues to work on his pattern, ignoring Ella. Isaac, I said pack away now! Ella then swipes some of Isaac's blocks into a container, destroying his pattern. Isaac screams at Ella. 'You idiot!' he pushes Ella and she falls backwards, tipping over a chair. The carer,alerted by the noise rushes over. 'What's going on here? 'He pushed me over', said Ella. 'she wrecked my pattern', complains Isaac. "Isaac, you know we don't push our friends' says the carer. "Ella's not my friend. she is stupid.' 'Isaac, pick up the chair and pack up the blocks. Ella, you can come with me.' Isaac sits at the table and fiddles with the blocks. He started to cry as he puts the blocks into the container.
1. How could this situation have been avoided?
Answer: carers should come and say herself that it's a pack up time Isaac. All children are packing up their game. If you have completed your game then put in the container.
2. Comment on the response of the carer- how could she have improved her response?
Answer: She could improved her response by giving some more time to play when children are not ready to pack up the game. she could supervise the children at pack up time and know that all children are done or not.

Re: Interact effectively with children
Hi Sweta,
I just had a read through your responses for this scenario... For the first question, the carer should of given a warning that it was pack away time soon so the children who are still continuing with their activity has some time to finish what they are doing. For e.g. "In 5 mins it's pack away time" etc. It's also a good idea to use an egg timer, set it to 5 mins and when it goes off the children know that it's time to pack away. With the carers response she should of asked Ella why she wrecked his pattern and that even though she was trying to get Isaac to pack away she could have come and told the teacher rather than take matters into her own hands.
Hope This Helps,
Cheers
