Scenario: Sienna - Losing Ring In The Sandpit

Hi My name is sahana I am studying cer III in Early childhood education .I need some help with my study. please anybody help me with this question

Read the following scenario and comment on whether the Educator’s response was good or not and why?

Sienna (3 years 8 months) has brought a new plastic ring, which she got at a friend’s birthday party yesterday, to the centre today. When it is time for outdoor play, the Educator suggests to Sienna that she should put her ring in her locker as it might get lost outside or in the sandpit. Sienna says “No. I won’t lose it. I’ll be careful.” So the educator allows her to leave the ring on.

After approximately half an hour, the Educator hears crying and franticly searching in the sandpit – the ring has disappeared! The Educator says “Oh no. I’ll help you look for it, Sienna, but it will be very hard to find, won’t it?”
I would say educator's response is good but i don't know how to explain it, so please help me with this question.

Hi Sahana,

Yes, I agree that the educator's response was good because she tells Sienna that the ring may be lost and they may not be able to find it. Also, the educator offers to help Sienna look for it, since Sienna is very upset that she has lost it.

Hope this helps,
