Case Study

You are babysitting for a child who is not accustomed to following any routine at night when preparing to go to bed.

1. How would you go about introducing a routine for the evening?
2. What would you say to the parents?
3. What would you say to the child?
4. What would you include in your routine?
5. How would you structure your routine if you were looking after two children who were different ages?

It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the responses you have to the above scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague or friend and ask them to tell you whether 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 assessor.
