Hi Fang,

For this just came up with a situation that could basically be affecting the rights of needs of a child. I know that it might seem really hard when trying to understand it but it helps to break the question down. When you re-read it you will get an idea of what the assignments are asking for. Normally in the diploma the wording they use it very complicated but once you figure out the simplified version then it isn’t so bad…

Some situations that you could use include:

1) A parent not wanting their toddler to sleep at daycare.
2) A parent wanting their child to complete homework at OOSH.
3) A child not being able to receive “dessert” unless they finish lunch.
4) A child being made to have “time out” as a behavior strategy.

Based on any of these situations try to come up with the answers for your question. Just read the question and put yourself in a child's shoes and explain how you will try to resolve this issue.

I hope the above situations help you in thinking about how to complete your assignment!
