Scenario: Ravi - Kicking Ball Over The Fence
Posted: Sat Oct 10, 2015 2:28 pm
Ravi
Ravi (4 years 6 months) is enjoying kicking the soccer ball around the playground. He then decides to kick it towards the fence, as the goal posts. His first two shots land low down the fence but the third shot only just avoids going over the fence. The Educator says “Oh, wow! That was close wasn’t it, Ravi. You know that if the ball goes over the fence, we can’t get it back again.”
Ravi continues to kick the ball into the fence and, sure enough, it goes over! The educator says “Oh dear. That’s a shame. No more soccer game, eh?”
QUESTION 2 (A)
Read the above scenario and comment on whether the Educator’s response was good or not and why?
I think Educator response was good because she tells Ravi that the ball will go over the fence,then we can’t get it back again. But Ravi doesn’t listen. Sometimes word is not enough for children.
