Understand ways to respect and value children

Case Study

You have a child in your care who is withdrawn and not showing interest in doing any activities. She is 3 years old and has had several babysitters in the past. The girl’s mum tells you that her daughter did not like the last babysitter because she had shouted at her.
  1. How will you support this little girl and help her to become more open and enthusiastic about being around you, and doing activities?
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.
