You have been hired as a child care provider in a new infant-toddler program. The director suggests that you spend your first few days gradually getting to know the children. On your first morning you observe the following interactions. A volunteer mom is happily playing peek-a-boo with her 14 month-old daughter. The little girl is obviously delighting in the turn-taking pattern of conversation; there are lots of giggles from both of them. One of the caregivers is changing a child; she is talking to him about the clean diaper she is going to put on him. He is looking at her intently and reaches for the diaper while she is talking. Another child is crying softly near the entrance; her mom has just left. A caregiver is sitting beside her offering comforting words (“I can see you are feeling sad”; “Your mommy will be back after lunch”). The sobbing toddler is leaning against the caregiver but does not seem to want to sit on her lap. Over in the far corner of the room you can see two toddlers playing with small blocks; a caregiver is sitting near them. One child is using a few Spanish words; the other is using only English. You can hear the caregiver repeating some of each of the toddlers’ words, easily using both Spanish and English. Describe specifically where in this scenario you see respectful, reciprocal, and/or responsive care? (all the incidences)List each word and then write each incident that shows that aspect of care.
