Scenario: Ahmed’s story
Ahmed is a three-year-old boy who has been attending the education and care service part-time. His grandmother recently passed away and Ahmed will now have to attend the service full-time. Ahmed’s family do not speak English at home and his mum often brings in Ahmed’s older brother to ask questions about Ahmed’s day. At times Ahmed appears easily upset on arrival and often falls asleep while lunch is being served at noon. Ahmed enjoys playing with Lego and blocks, riding trikes outdoors, and digging in the sandpit with the large trucks. Ahmed is usually able to take care of his own toileting needs, although there have been occasions when he has had ‘accidents’ and has needed to change his clothing.

relaxation.

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
 and
Child’s needs Educator Environment


Rest and relaxation By developing life skills training, positive coping skills, problem solving skills and good communication skills. Provide a separate, supervised area that is reserved for sleep and rest. This supports the distinction between awake time and sleep time and helps to minimise distractions.
 By encouraging involvement in extra-curricular activities, developing one key skill or interest of each child; providing quiet space for rest and sleep as per daily routine


3. How might you communicate and share information about Ahmed’s sleep and rest needs
with his family? List three examples.

3. To communicate and share information about ahmed I will encourage
o Open communication, By sharing my concerns with Ahmed’s mother about his rest and sleep needs. Maintaining good levels of communication with parents and other caregivers to ensure that I know of anything that might have disturbed Ahmed.
o Letting parents and caregivers know about the rest that their child has had that day at your setting, by advocating the need for Ahmed to find opportunities to build positive relationships and overcome his grief.
o Demonstrate respect for their cultural and linguistic diversity while gaining their trust and working together towards their child’s wellbeing

1. Ok, so in the scenario it mentions that Ahmed falls asleep by 12 so maybe he can have lunch 15 minutes earlier which enables him to have lunch and then sleep. In the morning when he arrives, be encouraged to read a book quietly before getting into his activities as this will help relax him and be prepared for the day.

2. Provide a separate, supervised area that is reserved for sleep and rest :thumbup:
Move Ahmed's bed away from the noise of the eating area so Ahmed can easily sleep without being distracted by others.

3. Writing this information on an individual daily information sheet for Ahmed.
In a family to home communication book.
Talking to Ahmed's brother to communicate to his parents.

Hope this helps,
