25272 - Scenario: Amanda - Address Concerns About Separation

Post by Chathurani » Thu Feb 13, 2014 10:17 pm

Your Assignment Module Number and Heading: Early Childhood Education and Care 25272-v1 -
Your Assignment Type: Case Scenario
Currently Working in Childcare? No
Your knowledge: Basic Knowledge

Your Question?
Amanda has just enrolled her baby, Katherine (10 months), in care at Forrest Early Learning Centre. Joel (4years),Katherine’s brother,has been enrolled at the service for six months and has settled in well. Amanda has been offered part time work at a local solicitor’s office on a Tuesday and Thursday. However, she is still breastfeeding Katherine and she is concerned about how Katherine will settle into care, how the educators will know how to read her cues and respond to what she needs - if the staff will know when she is tired or hungry or just in need of a cuddle, what will happen if she is upset or hurt, how do the staff make sure the centre is safe for such young babies and will the staff have time to attend to Katherine as an individual when there are nine other children in the room.
Katherine is generally an easy baby to care for and has slept through the night from 8 weeks of age and goes down without too much fuss. She is usually very happy and content throughout the day and enjoys playing with her mother.
The only occasion when Amanda has left Katherine with another person was when a neighbour offered to babysit. Katherine screamed for 30minutes but settled eventually when given her dummy and a cuddle.
The infant (0-2year old) room has three educators and eleven enrolments, including Katherine, and operates with three primary care groups that have a primary educator assigned to each. Typically if any of these staff are away, the centre prioritises the use of the same familiar casual staff where possible.

a. What advice would you give Amanda to address her concerns about separation and increase her confidence in the service? How will you support Amanda to continue breastfeeding? You should identify at least two strategies.


What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
Talk to Amanda about the environment in the center how it is safe , interesting to babies, encourage to express her babie's special interest so center can create safe settling environment for her . I'm stuck in explaining strategies.
