1. Read the following scenario
Dylan and Reid (3 yrs) had been playing with the blocks for most of the morning with several other children. When it came time to pack away Dylan and Reid found other things to do – washing their hands, putting shoes in their bag etc. The same situation had occurred on the previous two days. The carer, Mary, had asked the boys several times to help put away some blocks. In the end she decided she would wait until she had time to sit and talk to the boys without being interrupted.
Mary: ‘Dylan and Reid, I was disappointed that you didn’t help to pack the blocks away this morning.’
Dylan: ‘Well, we was busy.’
Reid: ‘Yeah we had to do other stuff.’
Mary: ‘Our rule is that when it’s time to pack away we all need to help. You left the other children to do all of the work.’
Dylan: ‘There was too many blocks!’
Mary: ‘Yes, there were lots of blocks. If everyone picks up some then it not such a big job. Remember we talked about this yesterday and you both said you would help to pack away the blocks.‘
Reid: ‘I said yes but I was too busy today.’ ‘Me too’, said Dylan.
Mary: ‘I am thinking that maybe you should not be allowed to play with the blocks tomorrow because you won’t help to pack them away. What do you think about that?’
Dylan ‘I think it’s not fair to me.’
Reid: ‘I think it’s not fair, too.’
What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
