Your Question?
I am stuck on this question ''Describe three different situations in which an educator could encourage a child to make decisions for themselves. For each situation, describe the process you would follow to support the child in making the decision. '' I have some ideas in my head but was after some help please.

thanks in advance.

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
turn taking, language, choices in activities.

Description and Message:

I think you are on the right track - you just need to flesh out your answers more...eg: Jimmy wanted to use the doll that Sue was playing with. I asked him what he thought would be a good idea. I know says Jimmy I will ask her if I can have the doll when she is finished playing with it.
or Jimmy was upset because he had no room to finish his train track building - we could encourage Jimmy to think about the best way to finish his track without bumping into the cupboard. Jimmy could say I know I will build more of the track over this side away from the cupboard.
Choice - Jimmy is unsure of whether he wants to play in the home corner or read a book. We could encourage him to think about which one he would like to do first and then he could swap over to the other activity later.
Hope this helps
