Please help me

Scenario 1
The Smith family are Jehovah Witness and do not celebrate birthdays. the family has made it very clear that they do not want their child participating in any celebration at the centre.
How can you support the family's religious beliefs and needs?
I can let the child play in another room with another group.

Scenario 2
The Ali family come from Muslim background and are very strict on clothing. During sleep time the family has requested that their child is not to be undressed.
- How can you rearrange work practice to cater for the child's needs?

????

Scenario 3
A Buddhist family would like to brig a large statue from home to help support their child's beliefs.
- How can you support this family's and child's needs?
????

please help me.
Thanks in advance.

2. when have we ever undressed children for sleep at day care? Children don't need to be undressed
3. happily accept the statue and allow all children to share in learning about budda and what the statue represents and how it is important to the childs culture and family. Look at other aspects of buddhism that can be experienced by all the children in the room/centre

Thank you strathjack
