Case Study
A 3 year old child in your care does not seem to get on well with others in the group. You have observed her snatching toys, pushing and biting. You have been asked to do an observation on her and feedback to your line manager.
- What type of observation might you choose to do?
- What will you be looking for?
- How will you present your findings to your line manager?
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 assessor.
