2. kali (18 months) is playing a game by herself. She places blocks in a box and then tips the blocks out and repeats the process. As she puts each block in the box she pauses, looks intently at the box and then continues her game. As she tips the blocks from the box she laughs and then claps her hands. The practitioner comments, “I can see you like tipping out the blocks Kali.” Kali smiles nods and continues her game.
what are kali's growing sense of self?
3. Kali (26 months) is in the sandpit rubbing her toes into the wet sand. She is holding a small scoop in one hand and begins to dig a hole. She pours the sand from the scoop onto her other hand. She repeats this action several times. Kali then notices she has a lot of sand on her lap. She begins to brush it away with large arm movements. The sand scatters in all directions. Nia (15mths) is sitting nearby and the sand flicks into her eyes. She begins to cry. Kali stops and looks at Nia. She stands up and goes to Nia, taking her hand she says ‘crying”. She looks around for an adult.
what are kali's growing sense of self?

i dont understand what i am meant to say or how to answer this and also there is 1 more question i have asked a few people at work and they cant tell me the answer or how to write it.

Mastery of age-appropriate self-help skills is satisfying for young children and helps them to feel good about themselves. Children use self-help skills as they begin to take care of their own physical needs such as dressing, toileting, feeding and hygiene.
a. List the socio-cultural factors that may inhibit the development of self-help skills.

please help just a little stuck i have the rest of this sassignment done just not sure on these questions

thanks mel

hi Melly,

Sense of self means 'our personal identity'. Its like the roles, attributes and behaviours we consider important about ourselves. Just have a look at Learning Outcome 1 and Learning Outcome 2 in the EYLF. This will give you evidence and will provide examples on how a child displays their sense of self. From these examples you should be able to work out the scenarios in your question.

For example: In your first scenario “kali bangs her hands loudly on the tray”. This shows Kali’s sense of self of the unique behavior she displays when wanting food. Have a read through this article called “Understanding the EYLF”. You can find the Learning Outcomes in here. Here is the link: http://www.aussiechildcarenetwork.com/e ... mework.php

I found some info about socio-cultural factors on self help skills:

It is important to note that not all children progress at the same speed and that in some cases it may be seen as inappropriate for children to learn certain skills. There are cultures in which children do not learn to dress themselves until they are older, and there are cultures in which only children of one gender learn certain skills. In most cases, it is less important when a child learns these skills than it is that the child becomes a fully socialized human being in his or her own culture.

Mel are you please able to send me your answers for CHCFC504A

It would be more beneficial for you to do your own assignments and think for yourself rather than go off someone elses answers and work.

Hi Rana,

Please dont misunderstand helping each other out with sharing or passing on answers. Yes, this site is here so students and professionals can help each other but having said that, this site is not for exchanging answers. There is a difference between that and we strongly discourage students asking for answers without any attempt. I stand by what fchaudari76 said and we do not encourage students to "exchange" answers. You are welcome to help out students in the forums as a support context and provided students posting in our forum show their research / attempt on what they have done so far for that question. But its a different thing altogether when a student request for answers to be provided with no effort at all.

I hope you understand our mission.
