Description and Message:

Hi Ranea

Knowledge of this stuff just develops as you work with children and build up experience. Your answers so far seem to be on the right track. For the last part of the question I would talk about providing safe areas for babies to practise their movement without being
trampled by toddlers. How can can you set up areas where babies have some protection but are still part of the group? We had a great ring thing that enabled the youngest member of our class to have his own space but supported him if he toppled, while still giving him lots of opportunities to practise his gross motor skills. He spent a lot of time in that ring for the first few months he was in our room and then he pretty much crawled out of it.
