Case study
You are working with Sonja who is 4. You know her parents are divorced and that she has already attended 4 different settings. You are concerned that her behaviour suggests that she is under a lot of stress.
- What potential life stressors could have caused this at her age?
- Discuss ways you could support her during this time.
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.
