Case Study
A parent has come to you concerned that her friend has told her that she will damage her baby’s development by allowing her to have a small comfort cloth. The parent’s baby is 9 months old.
- What purpose does the comfort cloth have for the baby?
- How relevant is the age of the child in this?
- How would you respond to the concerned parent?
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.
