Scenario: Educator Feeding Children In High Chairs
Posted: Thu Dec 03, 2015 4:57 pm
Hi...
Stuck on this..
Case Study 5
You have just begun working in the 0-2s room at an early childhood education and care service. One of the other educators in the room is reluctant to allow the children to feed themselves and still insists on having all of the children sitting in high chairs for every meal. From your studies and professional readings, you know that children should be encouraged to develop self-help skills and be given the opportunity to experience relaxed, enjoyable mealtimes.
b) What steps would you take to change the culture in the 0-2s room around meal times without causing conflict amongst the educators?
I have answered this bit.
In your answer, state how the Belonging, Being and Becoming – The Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Standard can be used to facilitate change and guide practice within the service.
Answer so far...
Learning Outcome 1 - Children have a strong sense of identity
1.1 Children feel safe, secure, and supported
Acknowledge and respond sensitively to children’s cues and signals.
1.2 Children develop their emerging autonomy, inter-dependence, resilience and sense of agency
Display delight, encouragement and enthusiasm for children’s attempts
Support children’s efforts, assisting and encouraging as appropriate.
Not sure if there are any other from the EYLF..
Now for the NQS....I have this so far but not sure if right....
Quality Area 2 - Children’s health and safety
Element 2.1.1
Each child’s health needs are supported.
Quality Area 5: Relationships with children
Standard 5.1
Respectful and equitable relationships are developed and maintained with each child.
Element 5.1.1
Interactions with each child are warm and responsive and build trusting relationships.
Element 5.1.3
Each child is supported to feel secure, confident and included.
Any insight if the bits from the EYLF and NQS are right or if I missed some..
Thanks Nadine...
