Scenario - Individual sleeping routines

[dyaanleigh]

Hello, ive got this question and ive answered it
im just wanting to know if im on the right track with it.


Scenario
It’s February, and children in the Emu Room at Blue Bay Children’s Centre range in age from 3 – 5 years. The children have lunch around 12.15pm, followed by an afternoon rest/sleep. Three quarters of the children are happy to have an afternoon sleep. The remaining children are provided with quiet experiences either in the playroom or on the verandah. The children are able to play together but know they must do so quietly.

Archie (4 .2 years) is a happy, outgoing child. He proudly tells the educator that he can write ‘all of his names’. His mother, Helen, is a school teacher. She tells the educator that Archie is no longer having a day time sleep and instead likes to spend quiet time writing and drawing. Archie likes to find letters in magazines that match the letters in his name. Archie attends child care 5 days per week form 7.45am – 4.15pm.

Chidi (3 years) attends child care 3 days per week from 7.30am – 5.30pm and has recently transitioned from the toddler room. Chidi is a quiet, shy child who likes to stay close to the educators. Although Chidi sleeps for around 2 hours each day she often become fretful and difficult to settle at sleep time.

Hessa (3.9 years) is a very busy little girl. She loves dramatic play - she often creates quite elaborate dramatic play scenarios and directs others to follow her lead. Hessa likes to ‘help’ the educators to do various housekeeping tasks. She often helps the educator by placing each child’s sheets on their stretcher in preparation for rest time. Hessa attends child care 4 days per week from 7.30am – 5.30pm. Hessa’s parents want her to have an afternoon sleep but each day Hessa tells the educator that ‘she is not tired.’

Question;
How will you accommodate the specific needs of each child for sleep, rest and relaxation?

Answer;
Archie -Collecting different magazines with big letters so that they are clear, having archie sitting at the table quietly cutting out letter of his name or getting pieces of paper and pencils to write his name

Chidi - An educator sitting with the child playing a quiet game or activity she is interested in. Educator sitting with the child when its rest time

Hessa - Sitting with the child during rest time trying to get her to have a sleep, if she isn't going to sleep have the child help with the housekeeping chores.

Just want to see if im on the right track
