Case study

You have been asked to been asked to act as holiday cover during the summer months. This means you could be working with babies one day and 4-year-olds the next.

• What differences in behaviour would you expect to see in the different age groups, and how are those behaviours related to the development of child’s limbic system?

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.
