6. Write comments that you could make in the following situations to children. Think about comments that would help promote the child’s sense of agency and belonging while giving the child specific feedback about themselves and their actions. Make sure your comments are developmentally appropriate.
a) Michael aged 3 snatches a toy from another child that he wants to use. What comments could you make to help Michael choose an appropriate behaviour?
Michael please don’t snatch it is rude to snatch ask the other kids if u can have the toy or wait until they have finished playing it the toy in the mean time find something else to play with,
b) Brayden aged 2 bursts into tears when a toy he likes to use is broken. What could you say to acknowledge and support Brayden during this time of distress?
I would explain to him that some time stuff like this happens and I would offer a solition eg another toy for him to play with I would try to help him find another to toy to play with
c) Ava aged 4 is having difficulty connecting a construction toy together. She is becoming upset and showing signs of frustration. You see Ava throw the pieces she is using away from where she is sitting. What comments could you make to encourage Ava to continue with her play and to see any mistake made as a way to learn?
I would go and ask if she was ok and explain to her that she cant throw the toy and to try taking deep breath or to ask a supervisor to come and help her with the construction.
d) Thomas aged 3 has bitten another child who took the doll he was playing with. What comments could you make to help Thomas learn to express and manage his feelings appropriately?
I would explain to Thomas that he can’t bit anyone and that he could ask nicely for the toy back or go and see the room leaders and ask them to help.
e) Olivia aged 4 successfully completes a 16 piece puzzle with no assistance. What could you say to support Olivia’s efforts?
Good job Olivia and I would then ask if she wanted another puzzle to do. I would praze her and make her feel really happy with her self
f) Londen aged 3 is throwing food on the floor at lunch. What comments could you make to positively guide Londen’s behaviour, and that will help him to accept responsibility for his actions?
I would ask Londen if he could please stop doing that and i would ask if he has had enofe and take his bowl away.
please help im have been stuck on these questions for weeks now needing more ideas.
