Scenario: Asher - Creating a Seperation Routine
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 2016 7:01 pm
Ok so I've never had to do one of these before so i'm a little stuck. Ive never really had a major issue with separation at work either so quite lost
Scenario: Asher
Asher (3 years 3 months) and his mother, Tara are new to the area. Asher and Tara have been on several orientation visits to the centre and Asher has interacted well with the Educators and children. Today will be the first time Asher’s mother will leave him at the centre.
Tara is anxious that Asher will cry when she leaves. During the orientation visits Tara had attempted to leave Asher for a short time but he became too distressed. Tara has secured a part-time job which she is due to start tomorrow.
Asher likes to do puzzles, build with the blocks and play with the train set. There are several other children in the group who are extremely social who have approached Asher to play. Asher appears to be developing well and has been happy and relaxed in his mother’s presence.
Asher has a rabbit called ‘Bob’ that he carries with him at all times.
a) List the questions you might ask Asher’s mother to help you develop a separation routine/ritual?
b) Suggest a separation routine for Asher and his mother to follow
For the routine could you suggest something like Tara gets Asher to help put his belongings away, then help him find an activity he likes and stay for about 5 minutes so he can get comfortable in his environment before saying goodbyes and reminding Asher that she will be back soon???
But the questions, what else would be needed to ask that we don't know already from the scenario ???
thanks!
