Case study

One of your close friends from school has just announced she is pregnant with her first child. She has come to you for advice as she has no experience of children. She is worried about not doing the right things to help her child learn.
- How would you reassure her?
- What would you tell her about how children learn?
- Where would you suggest she looks for advice?
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.
