Part1-Objective observation (Clearly identify the problem. Examine the “context problem.)

Date: March 9/2012

Time: 9:30 am

Date of birth: September 2010

Context: infant room

After snack is the time for outdoor activities so children need to wear their out-

fitand snowsuit because it is very cold and windy outside. Some of children are

already ready and my ECE asked me to make three of children ready for play-

ground while others are in their stroller. I put willow’s snowsuit and then it was

Jayden’sturn so i put the jacket on and then my ECE tells me that he needs to

wear snowsuit and this is wrong jacket because they are going to playground. I

have to change Jayden’s jacket to snowsuit and he refuses to change the coat.

Part2-Decision

I decide to use positive verbal and nonverbal communications and I message by

getting in conversation with Jayden and explain that I bring the wrong jacket at

first time and show him snowsuit. Let him know that is not appropriate clothing for

outdoor. I try to explain that is cold outside and we need to wear wormer jacket

and we stay outside for long time. According to (Marian Marion, 2011, Guidance

of Young children page 332, Boston, Pearson “it is a Rogerian concept for pur-

pose of this strategy “adult own the problem and giving information; communicat-

ing feeling in respectful way” so the chosen method was appropriate because is

no redirection able.

Part3-Action

I come back to the room and facing Jayden and show him, his snowsuit and start

let him know that is cold outside and he needs to change is jacket. but he refuse

listening to me by saying” no, no, no” and push me away by showing me his

hand.

As the result guidance strategy is fall because I cannot convince him to wear his

snowsuit.

Part4-Reflection

Strengths

Needs

I was able to decide fast about

how to guild the child to imple-

ment the request of wearing the

jacket. I also was able to use

positive word and calm attitude

rather than being angry to the

child because of my fault. I was

able to connect with child ver-

bally and touch his psychological

needs.

My need in this case was to add

some other flavour to attract the

child other than just the speech.

Some songs were necessary to

be presented to attract the child

and make him feel relax other

than just the jacket need to be

change because is time to go

outside

Discuss the changes that would make and why you would make them.

I would change my strategy to the more pleasant way of asking my request like

singing a song and also I can express my feeling that I know who difficult to make

changes and I also know that he wants to go out for play. Other way to express

the needs of snow suit would be taking child to window and I myself act like is

really cold outside as he can see is windy so it is certainly necessary for him to

change the jacket because he does not want to get sick. I would make this

change because Jayden is an infant so he needs the conceit level of experience

in order to realize the needs of change.

Part1-Objective observation

(Clearly identify the problem. Examine the “context problem.)

Date: March 15

Time: 11:10 am

Date of birth: September 2010

Context: infant room

After we come from outdoor activity and children have their snack so they start to

play. Drake goes under the table and sees the plastic chair and he tries to pull

the chair off from under the table and he is successful. After the chair is out few

other children come and they fight over the chair but Drake is still holding and he

goes up on chair and stand on the top of the chair and come down to floor roll the

chair over and the other children still want the chair and they all stand beside it.

One of the child bring hi hand to take over the chair and Drake place his hand on

the child head and push him back and he fell on floor .

Part2-Decision

The chosen strategy was redirection. When Drake stands on the chair and

comes of the sit and he try to push the other child away so Drake bad behaviour

only can change when he is going away from the situation because in that condi-

tion nothing else can change his reactions to the chair because it was new to

him. According to Albert Bandura thetheory “child's environment shapes learning

and behavior; in fact, human behavior, development, and learning are thought of

as reactions to the environment.” As result I have chosen an appropriate strategy

because he is an infant if the environment changes, he simply can change his

behaviour.http://www.vanerumstelter.com , Harvard Graduate School of Education

Part3-Action

I start talking to Drake and try to hold him up in peaceful and accepted condition

from him. We go to other side of the room where there is the pretend play area I

took car from bin and he takes another one .we start playing with a car which can

have the same function for him as the chair had, he starts pushing a car. The

strategy was successful at the beginning because I can grab hisattention but af-

ter a while he goes to the chair again.

Part4-Reflection

Strengths

Needs

My strength was to choose the strat-

egy fast and get in action. I could suc-

cessful change his environment and it

was not unpleasant for the child. In

the other hand I was engage with the

child in the different environment.

I need to develop my positive lan-

guage that in this kind of situation can

tell a child that I know he needs to do

whatever he enjoy but this is not a

safe practice for him

Discuss the changes that would make and why you would make them

I would use the positive verbal language to explain first this is a seat and he can enjoy

sitting in there and draw a picture. In the other hand I would explain about turns and shar-

ing toys with his friend in the room and they have right to play with toys.

Part1-Objective observation (Clearly identify the problem. Examine the “context problem.)

Date: March 23

Time: 12:10pm

Date of birth: September 2010

Context: infant room eating area

It is lunch time and children sits on high chair and eats their lunch so Jayden fin-

ish his lunch earlier than other children and he start crying and nagging for being

out of high chair but if he comes our he may affect other children’s appetite and

they want to come out and start playing. As it appears he is sleeping because he

touches his eyes and showing sleeping room.

Part2-Decision

As I see he feels really tired of being in a chair so I decide to have positive verbal

communication with the child as well as non-verbal such as touching him and let

him know that I understand his feeling and I know it is Friday and he is tired. Ac-

cording to (Marian Marion, 2011, Guidance of Young children page 333, Boston,

Pearson.I did“recognize sign of stress, anxiety o strong emotion; prevent over-

stimulation”in the child and decide to “use active listening, to decrease stimula-

tion.”

Part3-Action

I go to the high chair and sit on the child eyelevel and start touching his head and

take with him. I start by telling him that I understand he is tired and he misses his

parents after having them for everyday through the week. And then I start talking

about the routine which is going to take place and then he can sleep and after

sleep his parent pick him up and I continuously touch his head because I under-

stand the only thing this child needs is someone to touch him and understand his

feeling.

I have confidence that I was successful to use the strategy because the child

was quit and just sating at me like he has conversation with me

Part4-Reflection

Strengths

Needs

My strength was to understand the

child’s feeling and choosing the right

strategy to calm down the child. I also

could have strong connection with

child at the time. I could make strong

boundary to reduce his anxiety and

bring him to relaxation mood.

My needs were that I did not change his

environment to reduce pressure for this

child and I also need to learn faster reac-

tion than it was to child request

Discuss the changes that would make and why you would make them.

I would change the child endowment because the child was frustrated from that

limited space and hold the child and rubbing his back to reduce the pressure. I

would make this change because changing environment can change children’s

feeling and help children become calm and I also try to rub the child back be-

cause that let child know that I understand his feeling
