In the following scenario what you think Fred should do?Describe your response in the space provided?
Fred is a child care worker and has arranged the use of on outdoor soccer field for his groupof four year olds.He sits the group down and explains the basic rules of soccer and then begins the game with them.Fred has arranged the children in two groupsto play the game.As Fred blows his whistle to begin the game children begin to run all over the field and one child picks the ball up (against the rules) and throws the ball.children then ask if they can have more balls.
MY Ans----In my opinion, Fred should politely tell the child who threw the ball against the rules that if everyone starts ignoring the rules then there will be no fun in the game as game can only be enjoyed if the rules are followed. After that, Fred should assemble the children and announce the rules once again.
After making sure that every child has heard the rules and understood that rules are to be followed in order to enjoy the play, Fred should participate in the soccer game and kick the ball to show the example. Fred should also actively participate in the game by continuously monitoring and mentoring the children about the soccer game.

14-In the following scenario what you think Julie should do? also describe how she can extend this play and use the resources flexibly? describe your responses in the space provided.
Julie is a child care worker and is in the room during indoor play. she is on the ma with a group of children (mixed age) and showing them how to play instruments that are on display. the children show a real interest in the instruments and three of them go a short distence from Julie and pretend to play together as a band would
My Ans---In my opinion, Julie, after noticing the keen interest shown by children, should then invite one of the children to try playing the music instruments themselves. Then she should divide the children in different groups and ask them to pretend and play as a music group to create their own songs or ape the songs they might already have watched on TV.
Once kids are fully engaged in the activity, she should go to each group and appreciate how beautiful their music is and tell them how much she loved it. She should also observe and make sure that each kid is participating in the activity and no one is being ignored. At the end of activity, she can clap for all groups of children.

-is the teacher encouraging or pressuring the child to participate?
-how are they doing this?
-Do you agree with this approach?
-what would you do differently or the same?
-did the childcare worker respect the child's decision not to participate? how/how not?
Jack is a childcare worker and has noticed Sam (aged three)wandering alone in the outdoor environment. Jack acknowledges that this behavior is unusual for a normally sociable Sam. Jack approaches Sam and asks if she is ok, Sam nods. Jack asks Sam, "would you like to come and cook in the cubby with me Sam?'(knowing this is one of Sam's favorite activities) Sam looks down and does not respond." come on Sammy I know you love cooking chocolate cake..." Jack urges Sam, Sam looks at Jack and smiles, she takes Jack's hand and begins to walk over the cubby
