CHCFC506A - Scenario: Sam

Post by hayley » Tue Aug 07, 2012 4:55 pm

HI there i have a scenario i am stuck on. Can i get some feeedback on this one.

Sam has been attending the Centre for 2 weeks. Sam is 12 months old and although he sits unsupported he has not begun to stand or cruise around furniture. Sam cries a lot and his mother says she picks him up and carries him for most of the day.

- Sam may be emotionally insecure in his new environment, how will you support him and build his security? offering empathy and one on one support. maybe finding a specialised carer. Or getting relevant help and info from director. local recources

- Is Sam’s physical development within “typical” range? No

- What should you do to promote Sam’s physical development? encourging him to walk with help of carer

- Why are his emotional needs so important to his physical needs? it is very daunting for the child, needs emotional support to learn how to talk.

- What cognitive skills relate to learning to walk?

Re: what cognitive skills relate to learning to walk?
Perception. Sam needs to be able to understand the physical skills involving learning to walk.The cognitive stage is characterised by thinking—trying to understand the skill.
Hope this helps :)
