Scenario: Topan and Mikhael

Post by cody1234 » Thu Oct 01, 2015 2:19 pm

Can you please help me, I have no attempted answers as I am stuck on this case study.

Case study 1
Topan is a very active three-year-old who tends to run rather than walk. On a particularly busy day, Topan rushes from an art activity which he doesn’t seem to like, to the outdoor area for free play, which he always seems to enjoy.
In his hurry, Topan bumps into Mikhael, who is finishing a drawing. This causes Mikhael to fall over and to accidentally scrawl a big red line through the middle of his drawing. Mikhael bursts into tears and Topan runs away.

As an educator, describe how you would:
a) structure the experiences provided on the day in a way that promotes cooperation and conflict resolution

b) help Topan to see the consequences of his actions as an opportunity to learn and grow.
(Total word count: approximately 150 words).

So Topan would rather be outside than do art so how can you structure the day? Maybe you could set up an art and craft outside for Topan to participate in...Mikhael is very upset because he ruined his drawing while Topan was running inside. Topan can be reminded to walk inside and help Mikael complete a painting as he ruined his...

Hope this gives you a start...
