Understand how the Early Years Practitioner supports children’s behaviour and socialisation within play environments

Case Study

Tomasz is 2 years old. The practitioners who work with him report to you that he is hitting the other children when they try to join in his game and take the toys he is playing with.
  1. Why do you think Tomasz is behaving in this way?
  2. What strategies would you put into place to support Tomasz in managing his own behaviour?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
