Case Study
You have a young child named Assma in your care. She is 3 years old and her mother has just had a new baby. Assma does not know why she was sent to her grandma’s for a week while her mother stayed in hospital, and has come back upset, introverted and withdrawn.
- How can you support this little girl by facilitating games and activities that will encourage her to come to terms with what happened and the change to her family life?
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.
