Lesson 5 Guiding Behaviour Scenarios Infant Scenario A “walking” infant walks over to another infant who is sitting on the floor playing with a pop-up toy. The “walking” infant pulls the other infants hair. How would you handle this situation? It may be beneficial to have a conversation with the child and explain that pulling someone's hair can be painful for the other person. Afterwards, it would be helpful to place the child in a spacious area and provide them with something to capture their attention. Moving forward, it's always best to find a safe environment where the child can play with other children. It's important to supervise the number of children you are handling to ensure everyone's safety. Providing a learning environment that incorporates playtime can keep the child engaged and focused on positive activities. Toddler Scenario Two toddlers (Sally and Sam) are playing in the water table. The water is colored blue and there are drinking cups and other toys in the water. Sally takes a drink out of water table and the Sam yells at her to “Stop”. How would you handle this situation?

When communicating with children, it's essential to let them know when specific actions are inappropriate. For example, I would kindly and calmly inform Sally that not all coloured liquids are safe to drink, as some can harm her health. I encourage her always to ask me if she needs something to eat or drink. Similarly, I would explain to Sam that yelling at someone is not an acceptable way to communicate. Instead, I would teach her to approach the person and kindly express her concerns. Providing clear instructions is crucial when allowing children to do things independently, as their safety is a top priority. We must also be mindful of harmful substances and educate children on the dangers of misusing them. Sharing stories and lessons can help children understand the importance of using things properly and avoiding potential harm. Preschool Scenario This takes place in the block corner. There is a sign that only 4 children are allowed to play in this area. Four preschoolers are playing in the block area. A fifth preschooler (Sam) comes along and is together. All of a sudden one of the preschoolers says to “Sam” – “You can’t be here. Only 4 children are allowed to play here. I am telling the teacher if you don’t leave.” The teacher watches all this happening. How would you handle this situation? This question presents a challenge, but I can offer a solution through the power of imagination. Considering the benefits of children learning to share, take turns, and make new friends is essential. While the block is an excellent activity for four children, I can

also join in as a "guardian" to moderate their playtime and ensure everyone has a chance to participate. I can alternate between keeping an eye on their belongings (as if we were in a mall) and letting one child enter the block at a time with their chosen activities. By doing so, we can all enjoy the experience together, and the children won't even notice that I'm providing a brief break for the others. As an active participant, I'll show genuine enthusiasm for our fun and appreciate the time spent with the group. School Age Scenario Two girls are chatting in the book corner. Another girl comes over and gets a book and is about to sit down. The girls tell her to leave. They tell her the boys think she is ugly and go somewhere else? You overhear this conversation How would you handle this situation? Maintaining a composed demeanour and refraining from personalizing the disruption would be beneficial. I could invite both girls for a private conversation and explain why passing along negative comments or criticizing someone's physical appearance is inappropriate. Understanding the underlying reasons for their behaviour is essential to encourage healthy growth and positive change. I can offer empathy and assistance and speak with other children who may have heard about the situation to discourage future bullying.
