hi
I have a problem with this questions. please help me.
The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) reinforces the principles laid out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
In the table below list whether each Article from the UN Convention relates to the concept of Belonging, Being or Becoming as they are defined in the EYLF.
Article from the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child Link to EYLF

Article 12 (Respect for the views of the child): When adults are making decisions that affect children, children have the right to say what they think should happen and have their opinions taken into account.
LEARNING OUTCOME 3: CHILDREN HAVE A STRONG SENSE OF WELLBEING

Article 13 (Freedom of expression): Children have the right to get and share information, as long as the information is not damaging to them or others. In exercising the right to freedom of expression, children have the responsibility to also respect the rights, freedoms and reputations of others. The freedom of expression includes the right to share information in any way they choose, including by talking, drawing or writing.
Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators.

Article 29 (Goals of education): Children’s education should develop each child’s personality, talents and abilities to the fullest. It should encourage children to respect others, human rights and their own and other cultures. It should also help them learn to live peacefully, protect the environment and respect other people.
Learning Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world
Article 30 (Children of minorities/indigenous groups): Minority or indigenous children have the right to learn about and practice their own culture, language and religion. The right to practice one’s own culture, language and religion applies to everyone; the Convention here highlights this right in instances where the practices are not shared by the majority of people in the country.
Outcome 1:Children have a strong sense of identity.

Article 31 (Leisure, play and culture): Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities

Learning Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners
but my asseser said

This response is incorrect. You need to indicate in your response what concept- either Belonging, Being or Becoming each article from the UN Convention (left column) relates to. Hint: Article 30 and 31 can link to two. For example:



Article 12 (Respect for the views of the child): When adults are making decisions that affect children, children have the right to say what they think should happen and have their opinions taken into account.

For Article 30, I would say Belonging -

Belonging - To understand that you are part of a group, feeling that you are part of a family. Having a feeling that you are linked with others and experience important relationships. A child’s sense of belonging can be referred to their relationships with family members – recognizing mum, dad, siblings, grandparents etc. Within early childhood, a child’s sense of belonging can relate to how comfortable a child is within the setting, having a sense of trust and security with childcare professionals. When a child has a sense of belonging they are more confident, feel more secure, be more creative and more likely to explore the world of learning.

For Article 31, I would say Being -

Being- To experience what is happening now, life in the present. For children, understanding that they are accepted for who they are and knowing that others care about them. Within early childhood, a child’s sense of being can relate to how childcare professionals show respect to each individual child, through greetings, conversations and actions. When a child has a sense of being they build and maintain relationships with others, take part in life’s journey and face challenges in everyday life.

Hope you get these right!
