CECEC018 - Georgie Swearing Scenario

Swearing
Georgie (2.5 years) is trying to stack some blocks which keep falling over. After the third attempt he says, ‘Damn buddy bugger blocks!’
i. Is Georgie’s reaction mistaken behaviour or unacceptable behaviour

ii. Using the guidance continuum select the level of intervention you would apply as an educator.

iii. Give reasons for your answer.

Answer
I think it's a mistaken behaviour as she is only 2.5 and she is repeating what she has heard from the environment.
Am I right?
How about ii and iii?


Thanks

You are on the right track for your first answer.
Think of it this way if you believe it is mistaken behaviour that may be acceptable at home, yet it isn't acceptable at daycare, how would you approach the child in real life bearing in mind their age.

What are possible influences on Georgie’s behaviour? How would you react in this situation? Ensure you
consider Georgie’s age and your own ethics – regarding swearing in your answer

She could have heard someone at home say the same thing when they get frustrated and she is repeating what she had heard. I would ignore what she had said and simply say something like "oh no the blocks fell down". Children don't know that they are "swearing". They only repeat what they hear.

Encouraging positive language and allowing him to express frustration more acceptably helps him develop socially and emotionally. that's not my neighbor
