Scenarios On Supporting and Caring For Children

[Nedu]

Hello every one, how u going mate.

just checking with u to know if i'm in the right track with these case scenario.

KIRRA
Kirra (2yrs) was born at 26 weeks and was in the NICU ( neonatal intensive care unit) for a long time. i remenber she was so tiny, i aws afraid to touch her. She has some brain damage and is slow learner. She's only been walking for 6 months, and still so tiny for her age. she goes to the special education centre four days a week. i go with her on wednesdays and the teachers show me how i can help her to learn things. Some times at night i still cryfor her5. i just want her to be like all the other kids.but i know that's not going to happy. i'm scared abouther future. What if something happens to me or her father, who will look after her?
Question - If Kirra were to transition to a mainstream early childhood service in the future what support might her family need?

Ans - Adequate provision for the child safety, taking into account impulsive behaviour, the child might need increase supervision, and some modification of physical environment

Orientation II: Getting to know to you

Today Zennie isgoing to show me how she how she will plan to support Harrt's development. I was quite surprise when zennie said that she would like to help her set some goals for harry. i did'nt think that i could be so invlved teserday we looked at the communication book which will tell me all the details of harry's day, what he ate, how long he slept and when his nappy was changed. Zennie sings a lot to children and is always smiling. Harry just loves her. I have learnt some of the songs and have started to sing them to harry at night before he goes to sleep.
QUESTION - How do the service plicies and procedures reflect quality care practices?
Ans - The service delivary is dependent on theresponsibility of both the organsation and the worker in following the policies that guides service delivary. Not really sure

Scenario C

It's been 3 weeks since we started our orientation. Harry gets excited when he sees the centre and always has a big smile for his educator. Last night my partner and i took the time to read the parent hand book. I was surpriseed by the number of policies they have. It was really reasuring to know that so many procedures are in place to ensure that care practices ane consistent. I was really interested to read about the quality assurance proces. My partner and i are looking to being involved in the service. There are few things that i read in the hand book that i want to ask Zennie todat. She is such a kind and patient person. We feel so lucky to have her as harry's educator.

QUESTION Describe how you would explain the reason for having in place a range of policies and procedures for the operation of the service.
Ans - Policies that are clearly sources by recognised Athorities assist services in controlling risks, and making decisions which are currently supported by rearch and advice. This can help the staff undrstand the reasoning of certain decision and practices in the services

Scenario D
Orientation IV: Happy family

Next wk when i go back to work full time i am going to be sad because i will miss my little boy, but i will also be happy knowing that hi is happy and safe with people who care about him and care about me as his mom, Zennie said i can ring her just to see how harry is going and reasure my self that he is Ok. Zennie is so caring, she makes me feel so special and she really respects me as a parent. the orientation process has been great for harry and i. Some of my friends felt that being expected to have a 4 wk orientation was too much, but im so glad we did. we are looking forward to the family fun night and getting to know some of the other parents. The centre is now very much a part of our lives.

QUEstion 2d - Why is an extended orientation process effective, especially for under 2 yrs?

Ans - It helps them to adapt, and know the enviroment, educators and staff members. ????

Just checking with u to knw if i'm in the right track. Got lots of case scenario to submit i have done some, but this once not too sure.Any corrections will highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Nedu,

With your scenarios you're on the right track but your answers are very general. I think you need to provide information specific for each scenario... So, for each research specific for the issue within the scenario and provide more information...

Hope this helps,
