PJ

[brookeamy]

Scenario:
PJ (5 years) has been goin’ to the local child care centre for about four and half years. It’s good for him. He gets to play with lots of toys and the teachers read to him every day, he loves books. We haven’t got much and some of the people around here are a bit rough – they fight and swear and you know, drink too much. I want him to have a good education so he can get a good job and not have to live in a place like this. Yeah, that’s what I want for him.”

Question:
How might PJ’s life chances be positively affected by attending child care?

Answer:
His life chances will be positively affecting him by attending child care as he will get educated correctly, giving him a good foundation to grow up with. He will be taught to have a good education, allowing him to be able to get a good job and to be successful. His parents want him to be better then what they are. They do not want to him to be uneducated, living in a lower socio-economic area – they want him to be sucessful

Feedback from assessor:
Please revise your response and include how PJ’s life chances be positively affected by attending child care. Think around different aspects of child’s development like social development….
