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.
2. 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.

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

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
5. 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.
6. Part4-Reflection
Strengths Needs
My strength was to choose the strat- I need to develop my positive lan-
egy fast and get in action. I could suc- guage that in this kind of situation can
cessful change his environment and it tell a child that I know he needs to do
was not unpleasant for the child. In whatever he enjoy but this is not a
the other hand I was engage with the safe practice for him
child in the different environment.
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.

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.”
8. 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 My needs were that I did not change his
child’s feeling and choosing the right environment to reduce pressure for this
strategy to calm down the child. I also child and I also need to learn faster reac-
could have strong connection with tion than it was to child request
child at the time. I could make strong
boundary to reduce his anxiety and
bring him to relaxation mood.
9. 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
