Provide Care For Babies
Posted: Sun Apr 24, 2011 11:10 am
Hi All. Can anyone shed some light for me on how i could answer this question or concern from the parent. I have to answer the A,B,C Questions Below. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Mark.
Jonty
Jonty (17mths) attends care five days per week. He is very familiar with the routine and co-operates with carers during routine care tasks.
Jonty loves his food! Jonty always eats all of his meals and appears to enjoy the meal time routine. He always sits in the same place with the same group of children who also attend five days per week.
Jonty can use a spoon to feed himself and he can drink from a sipper cup.
Jonty’s mother, Beth, is concerned that Jonty is not eating much of his evening meal and lately is not eating his breakfast which he used to enjoy. Beth wonders if the centre should cut down on the amount of food offered to Jonty at lunch time.
Think about your responses to Beth’s concerns and the information you might offer.
A – What questions might you ask?
B – What resources/websites could you access?
C – How can the centre’s nutrition policy be used to assist the carer’s response?
