Scenario: Erin and Charlie - Puzzles

Post by sadaf » Thu Feb 11, 2016 12:40 am

Hi, im new on this forum please check my answer is it okay .I will be grate full.

Scenario : "He’s not sharing"
Three year-old Erin, complains to Nicky the educator, “Charlie won’t share the snake puzzle with me.”
“Erin, Charlie has been working very hard to do that floor puzzle, I think he wants to work on it some more before he’s finished.”
“But I want a go,” says Erin.
“Then you’ll need to ask Charlie when he thinks he might be finished,” says Nicky.
“But he says he will be a long, long time and I want a go too.”
“I’m sorry, Erin, you’ll have to wait until he has finished. Why don’t you find something else to do while you’re waiting?”
Erin kicks the floor puzzle, scattering some of the puzzle and stomps away with an angry look on her face.

Question:
How can the educator intervene to assist the children in Scenario B to use the appropriate pro-social skills?
Answer:
Educator intervenes and approach Erin and show Erin that Charlie feeling sad of destroying his effort by you .You might take some other puzzle or ask Charlie that you can help him completing puzzle. Also talk to Charlie we share our toys and play with our friends.

I think it's fine that Charlie should be allowed to complete a puzzle on his own. Educator could suggest that Erin could ask Charlie that they complete the puzzle together and if Charlie wants to continue the puzzle by himself, Erin can be encouraged to find another floor puzzle to do and tell Charlie that she would like to do the snake puzzle when he has finished...
