Hello all,
I need to write a script for 3 different scenarios but I'm not sure what to say in these scenarios, I've tried Googling to get a general idea but I haven't been able to find anything, if I could get any suggestions to help me get a general idea that would really help and also let me know what you think about my answer to scenario two.
"Practise writing scripts for what you will say to these children in the following scenarios. Will your scripts stimulate and encourage the children to communicate further?
A 6-month-old infant is sitting up supported by cushions and is trying to reach a ball which has rolled away from him. He grunts, points his hand and looks at you.
A 12-month-old sits in front of you and shows you a picture of a dog and says ‘Woof’.
“Yes, that’s right! The dog does go woof! Good job!”
It is time to change Simon’s nappy."

Re: Provide care for babies and toddlers help
I added on to my answer to sceneario two:
A 12-month-old sits in front of you and shows you a picture of a dog and says ‘Woof’.
“Yes, that’s right! The dog does go woof! Good job!” - Saying this to a child with a smile and an encouraging voice will make the child feel happy, willing to learn more and help build up their communication skills.

Re: Writing Scripts To Encourage Communication
For scenario 2, that's a good start. You just need to add to it, to support the child to communicate further. Think of what else you could say, to get the child to speak more...
For example - Scenario 2:
Yes, that's right the dog says woof. Let's see what sounds other animals make. Can you tell me what does a cat sound like? Does a cat say Woof? No? Does a cat say meow... Yes, a cat says meow and a dog says... woof (do this while showing a picture of a cat as well)....
Hope this helps,

Re: Writing Scripts To Encourage Communication
I updated my script for scenario 2 and also wrote a script for scenario 1 and 3, what do you think?
1. A 6-month-old infant is sitting up supported by cushions and is trying to reach a ball which has rolled away from him. He grunts, points his hand and looks at you.
Encourage the child with the attempts in grabbing the ball, “You can do it! Don’t give up!” If the ball is too far away for the baby to reach, roll the ball a little closer so the baby can reach it better.
3. It is time to change Simon’s nappy.
Pull silly faces while changing Simon’s nappy to distract him and make him feel comfortable and laugh. Create an atmosphere where the child feels safe and secure during a nappy change, “I am going to change your nappy now, would you like to have your favourite toy?” Reassure them if they are upset during the nappy change, “I know you don’t like it buddy, it’ll be over soon, you’re doing a great job!” Let them choose what design nappy they would like to use, “What nappy would you like on? The one with flowers or the one with teddy bears?”
