If you are currently working as part of an Early Childhood Education/Child Care team, you
may answer these questions based on your workplace. Otherwise, consider what you
should do if you were working as part of an Early Childhood Education/Child Care team.
It is focused on what learners can do and whether it meets the criteria specified
by the industry as competency standards.
Assessment should mirror the environment the learner will encounter in the
workplace.
Assessment criteria should be clearly stated to the learner at the beginning of the
learning process.
Assessment should be holistic. That is it aims to assess as many elements and/or
units of competency as is feasible at one time.
In incompetency assessment, a learner receives one of only two outcomes –
competent or not yet competent.
The basis of assessment is in applying knowledge for some purpose. In a
competency system, knowledge for the sake of knowledge is seen to be
ineffectual unless it assists a person to perform a task to the level required in the
workplace.
The emphasis in assessment is on assessable outcomes that are clearly stated for
the trainer and learner. Assessable outcomes are tied to the relevant industry
competency standards where these exist. Where such competencies do not exist,
the outcomes are based upon those identified in a training needs analysis.
Valid
o Evidence gathered should meet the requirements of the unit of competency. This
evidence should match or at least reflect the type of performance that is to be
assessed, whether it covers knowledge, skills, or attitudes.
Sufficient
o This rule relates to the amount of evidence gathered enough evidence must be
gathered to satisfy the requirements that the learner is competent across all
aspects of the unit of competency.
Authentic
o When evidence is gathered the assessor must be satisfied that evidence is the
learner's work.
Current
o This relates to the recency of the evidence and whether the evidence relates to
current abilities.
The national concept of competency includes all aspects of work performance and not only narrow
task skills. The four dimensions of competency are:
Task skills
Task management skills
Contingency management skills
Job role and environment skills
Each unit of competency can be unbundled to reveal two key assessment components:

REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT
Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for learners with a disability
- November 2010 - Prepared by - Queensland VET Development Centre
Reasonable adjustment in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning environment or making
changes to the training delivered to assist a learner with a disability. A reasonable adjustment can be
as simple as changing classrooms to be closer to amenities or installing a particular type of software
on a computer for a person with vision impairment.
Why make a reasonable adjustment?
We make reasonable adjustments in VET to make sure that learners with a disability have:
the same learning opportunities as learners without a disability
the same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without a disability.
Assessment for this unit will be assessed through completion of Assessment Workbook Four
(4) and Assessment Workbook Seven (7) Skills Journal - Play and Development

Read the Candidate Declaration below and if you agree to the terms of the declaration sign and
date in the space provided.
b) A good diet is crucial for healthy growth and growth during the first year of life. They require
sufficient calories, protein, and critical nutrients for children to grow adequately. At all ages,
nutrition is significant. Your kids require adequate nutrition to remain strong and healthy and
develop robustly. Child nutrition may also help develop a basis for good eating and nutritional
information your child can use for life.
As an Early Childhood educator, you must support the brain development of all children in your
care.
Explain in 4-5 sentences, the importance of discussing children’s interests
with them, to stimulate early brain development.
Guidance: Refer to the National Quality Standards and the relevant approved learning framework
to support your answer.
a) When adults engage in ordinary activities based on the interests of children, they learn more
efficiently. Many studies have demonstrated that youngsters may learn more when their interests
are based on their elders' daily activities. Responsive, caring, good experiences: everyday
experiences can develop the brain of your kid – from daily routines to persons with whom your
infant comes. Babies must live and play with the opportunity to learn and grow in healthy
environments. Wonderful activities to talk to your baby, to read, to sing is a fun approach to help
it grow. Fun activities: Simple activities include going down with a tiny infant for a while or
playing peek-a-boo with your five-month-old boy.
b) By monitoring children exploring, playing, and learning, practitioners may guarantee that
children's development is on an anticipated level, as well as that their surroundings and resources
(toys, equipment) are promoting their growth. The primary purpose of observation is to give
practitioners reliable information so that they may create appropriate courses which match the
children's requirements and increase their learning and development during their care
continuously.
c) It also encourages the independence of a kid, enabling them to make decisions on their own –
for example, simple washing of hands and seating before morning tea – and supports a kid's
independence and trust when they start noticing when they need to do so without adult guidance.
Routines provide a sense of safety and consistency for newborns and children. Routines enable
babies and children in their environment to feel comfortable and comfortable. Young children
become aware of everyday occurrences, processes, and what is expected of them, as routines
improve the predictability of their surroundings.
d) The significance that children be encouraged to investigate the surroundings and resources:
Encouraging children to exploit will improve physical activities, cognitive development, social
skills, the gross/finish engine, coordination, and support for all the interests and capacities of the
children in the center and provide an atmosphere of opportunity. Children acquire self-confidence
and have fun by being active.

Decision-making opportunities
Start at birth by responding favorably to her screams to boost your baby's self-confidence. It
1 helps him to feel comfortable and comfortable. Babies need to be careful, patient, and have a lot
to confront. Help him recognize his feeling in the younger years and label it. Talk to him about
being frustrated and encouraging him to start labeling what he feels when he shows indicators of
a tanter. This will free him to comprehend his own emotions and manage them.
You may start teaching her how to regulate her emotions rather than allow her to rule her. As
2 she learns to categorize her feelings. Children need an example to follow; model how to handle
and healthily treat your emotions (taking a time-out, meditation, prayer, a deep breath, counting
to 10). Be careful also how you deal with other homemade grownups. The constant tension
between her caretakers produces an uneasiness that once she is in school might lead to
behavioral difficulties.

The capacity to manage disagreements properly requires successful relations. Again, you are the
3 most closely followed example by your child. Teach her to appreciate the uniqueness of others,
not to compare her to other children, and above all apologize for your mistake.
d)
Experiences that give exposure to a range of language forms
Speak ordinary stuff when you are. Places or items recognizable to you. Describe the stuff you
1 notice and speak about them. Speak clearly. Speak plainly. Pause for the younger kids so they
may emulate you.
Read your child's books, sing, and speak rhymes every day. As your children age, tell them
2 what's going to happen in your narrative. Call it or make a picture. Invite. Speak to "Who,"
"What," "When," "Where" and "Why" in tale or talk.
Go to museums, visit libraries and pursue pastimes that extend the world of your children
3 beyond home and neighborhood.
Be a role model - children learn how to express feelings and how to look at people properly.
1 Show your youngster how you feel and how you react to different situations.
Encourage your youngster with praise – reward your youngster when they speak or express
2 their feelings accordingly.
e)
Experience
Art involves children of many various levels because, among other
Visual developments, it improves eye-hand coordination, creativity, and visual
learning. If youngsters paint fingers or molds with age-suitable clay, they
enhance their self-esteem and learn how to find solace in calm hobbies.
Research demonstrates that sensory play creates nerve connections in the
Hearing pathways of the brain, which help the kid to do more complicated learning
activities. Sensory play helps linguistic development, cognitive development,
motor abilities, ability to solve problems, and social connection. Aid to brain
development, fine and large motor capacities, problem-solving capabilities,
cognitive growth. Help for language development.
Taste is an extremely significant sensation since it is vital to help us discern
Taste the flavors. In reality, our taste capacity has traditionally been connected with
human survival, because our sense of taste indicates if a product is safe to eat
or harmful.
In addition to cognitive advantages, skin-to-skin relationships make
Touch youngsters realize that they are safe and safe. Parents may aid improve
social, emotional, and physical development in their youngest years through

continuously nurtured contact.
The smell is a significant meaning, because it may warn of dangers such as a
Smell gas leak, fire, or rotten food, but it's also strongly related to the brain which
transforms emotion and memory. Unangeneous and poor odors give the brain
pain messages to alert us of potential hazards.
The most open form of self-expression is creativity. The ability to be
Self-expression creative, to make something out of own experiences and feelings may reflect
and sustain the emotional health of youngsters. In their initial years of life,
the experiences of youngsters can considerably improve the creativity.
f)
Experience
Babies know by the end of the first year that even if they're out of sight people
Problem-solving and items still exist. After 18 months, kids aim to use their previous
(0-2Yrs) experiences and gain from them. Two-year-olds are now able to solve issues
by using order and sequence.
In the present instant, threes and fours rely on their thought and issue
Problem-solving resolution on their actions and observations.
(3-5yrs) Fours start seeing things from another's perspective and are more prepared to
cooperate to solve problems.
In addition, fours employ language and material as problem-solving
instruments with their increasing vocabulary. Because they can think
abstractly, children learn to solve problems without doing or manipulating
anything.
Might you grasp other people's points of view: know that other people can
Problem-solving have different thinking. Can concentrate on numerous issues at a time. Can
(6-12Yrs) focus for longer durations on what they do. Improved capacity to resolve
problems, but not yet like an adult. Can talk and write; children aged 10 have
20,000 words in the language and acquire an average of twenty new words a
day; they can also realize that the meanings of a word vary. Can speak,
express yourself, and comprehend things better and longer.
Tell and sing together stories, They're open to learning and the tales of individuals. There are many
different methods to share stories. All information is true. Along with that throughout the year there
are cultural celebrations. These are opportunities through which culture may communicate and
engage. Encourage families to participate with you authentically in significant cultural festivals or
festivals. Organize inclusive activities in which children share. Connect can mean reassessing
actions taken as a matter of course, sometimes – eyerodontic contact, greetings, arbitrary rules
(mealtimes, how people are dealt with, etc.); language barriers; physical barriers; religious opinions
(not holding events, such as Easter/birthdays, dressing patterns, etc.) and relationship roles to list a
few examples. Young kids always create ideas based on what they hear and see. All these "why?"
issues allow youngsters to develop their understanding of the world. It helps kids to make a sense of
their environment around them when kids hear and witness acceptance and feel able to talk about
differences.

Cognitive Development understanding and interacting with the world.
Creative play has a crucial role in the development of children. Kids can grow emotionally, socially,
academically, and even physically via creative and imaginative play. Creative activities encourage a
youngster to develop this talent and to convey ideas, feelings, and emotions. It contributes to the
growth of youngsters, exposing them to creative options. It does not have to be stressful or take long
to come up with ways of playing creatively. Over-structuring is the reverse of creative play.
Creative play creates confidence in pre-schools, verbal, physical, and thought capabilities,
imagination, and understanding emotions. Dramatic play helps the world make sense to pre-school
students. Arts and crafts promote self-expression and decision-making.
a) Quality Area 1 – Standard 1.2 – In the development and delivery of the program, educators and
coordinators are focused, active and thoughtful.
Quality area 3 - Standard 3.2 - The setting is inclusive, encourages skills, autonomous discovery,
and playful learning.
b) Learning Framework 4: Kids are confident and involved learners. Early years learning
framework.
a) Bloom's taxonomy is a methodology for classifying the three stages of knowledge, that is,
thought, learning and understanding, and defining them. Bloom's taxonomy is a series of three
hierarchical frameworks that divide education goals into complexity and specificity levels. The
templates arrange learning goals into three fields: cognitive, affective, and sensory/psychomotor. A
system for classifying school objectives generally referred to as the Bloom taxonomy has been
presented in Benjamin Bloom. The taxonomy includes six key categories: knowledge,
understanding, use, analysis, synthesis, and appraisal.
b)The six cognitive skills revised by Krathwohl are in the following ways-

b) The many hypotheses of intelligence can retract pupils. Using the many bits of intelligence to
teach a subject, every one of your students has the opportunity to learn successfully. The student
with visual-spatial intelligence strength is good at sketching and puzzles. Linguistic intelligence
students would perform well to report a reading job, whereas interpersonal intelligence students are
good at conversations in the classroom on what was read. With success in learning, pupils
experience less troublemaking. Teaching student strength contributes to the success of learning.
10. In 4-5 sentences, explain the importance of the early years and early development,
concerning a child’s subsequent educational success.
For a safe emotional attachment and the abilities that help children achieve success in life, the early
years are critical. These basic abilities are critical not just for a smooth school transition, but for
later academic performance and social adjustment. On the way. The basics for lifetime learning,
behavior, and health are early childhood development. The early infancy experience of children
shapes the brain and the ability of the kid to learn, coexist, and adapt to everyday stressors and
obstacles.

Kids are continuously watching for the growth of each kid in a precise and up-to-date way. It should
also be recognized that the recording should also incorporate observations by other team members
and parents/guardians as children have various associations with various individuals. These
viewpoints will provide alternative and individual viewpoints to fully reflect the behavior and
development of the child. The most extensive records are used to acquire observations for every kid
during plays and at meals, in varied circumstances, inside and outside, at the nursery and home,
with other children, and on their own. The observation procedure and all the documents are then put
into a kid's file, which is examined and analyzed throughout time so that significant observations
are made regarding the growth of the kid.

PART D – RESPECTFUL AND POSITIVE WITH
CHILDREN
1. There are a range of things you need to take into consideration if you want to
communicate effectively.
Complete the table below listing 2 verbal and 2 non-verbal things you need to take
into consideration when communicating with children and their families.
Place yourself at its level Get down to the same level as a youngster when
you chat with them.
- Make sure in your lunch you establish regular and play periods and how you interact
throughout lunch.
- Include an example of how the child's needs can be addressed in response to distress.
- Include in your response verbal and non-verbal communication approaches
4. Describe 3 different techniques to guide children’s behavior and how you would apply
each in the center.
The stuff
Toys and resources which are well supplied and suited for age and development assist children to
concentrate and participate in constructive learning experiences. With children's groups, it is crucial
to provide duplicates of preferred items, as young children have not yet learned how to share and
have duplicates with minimizing preventable confrontations.
Schedule of Time/Program
Youngsters need schedules, routines, and ample time for changes and transitions, helping children
to build confidence, security, and order. While these might be flexible, carers must teach youngsters
about what is anticipated. Children require a balanced day of activities and relaxation, solo, group,
and play-initiated adult activities
Provide them positive culture or environment to have integrated and enhanced thinking with a
positive attitude.
a)
- Every youngster will feel comfortable, reliable, and involved.
- Every kid is supported through collaborative learning chances to collaborate with, learn and help
others.
- Every kid is supported in the management, responds to the conduct of others, and effectively
communicates to settle problems. Each kid is supported.
- Every child's dignity and rights are always preserved.
b) Each youngster can regulate his or her behaviors, respond properly to others' behaviors, and
communicate effectively for conflict resolution.
b) Regulation 168- Education and Care Service shall have (j) policies and procedures for contact
with kids, including the topics provided for by Regulations 155 and 156, in the 2011 National
Regulations. Education and Care Services Regulation 155-Kid interactions involve offering good
direction to every child and encouraging them to conduct themselves appropriately. This criterion
fulfills the policy of the United Nations on the rights of the child to safeguard its dignity and to
guide them to conduct properly.
- Treat a "third teacher" atmosphere in a classroom. Create a classroom to help kids achieve
their full potential and offer them chances for pupils.
- Teach them how powerful and able they are. We want students to feel empowered, be they
in a small group or one-on-one training.
- Through doing, students learn best. Provide youngsters with an engaged classroom
participant.
- Create employment experiences for students that will be mirrored in actual-world situations.
Emphasize the growth of excellent social and managerial abilities. Help them realize that
errors are development opportunities and are a vital part of learning.
- Specify mobility and exercise options. This contributes to the growth and development of
the brain and the mental wellness of a young child.
4. A child in the group has a new baby at home and must keep quiet and play outside
at home. List three ways in which this could affect the child's behavior at the
center?
- The physical environment in which children live includes housing, schooling, health, jobs,
and open leisure areas influences their children, because they spend the bulk of their time
interacting. Children learn from their surroundings through mimicking people's social
conduct around themselves, and their social conduct impacts what they observe in their daily
lives.
- The social environment of a kid is governed mostly by the whereabouts of its parents and the
whereabouts of the kid to start schooling and the social environment primarily defines who
the children have social ties, since many of their relationships form inside the families or
neighborhood.
- The social structure impacts the type and quality of the connections between parents and
children, as the social environment primarily dictates which parents and children connect as
well as how often and under which circumstances. To achieve a decent quality of life and
behavior development it is vital to build and sustain strong social interactions defined by
trust, mutual satisfaction, respect, love, and happiness.
- Persons living in favorable social surroundings are driven more than those who don't enjoy
peer support and are one of the key variables in motivating children to strive for social
objectives, while the support of instructors enhances the motivation of their children in
social and academic activities. Support for parents impacts the amount of interest in
schooling and the pursuit of objectives among children.
b) Positive enhancements in the classroom provide instructors and other staff with the potential to
attract kids. Students need to feel protected, supported, and successful in school
Routines
Set defined procedures in your classroom for everything you want pupils to do. Even if it might be
tiresome, it may be explicit. Conduct not presume that kids know your classroom objectives and
demonstrate to them how you want to do things.
Small Signals
Create quiet signals to tell your pupils to be careful and to stay on business. These signals might be
for the entire class or you may set specific signals for a kid who needs further help for conduct.
Silent messages are a successful action because their behavioral expectations are rapidly
strengthened with minimum distress.
Proximity
It is another big silent procedure; you may get closer to a pupil physically without giving spoken
directions. Make it a custom to go around your school as pupils complete chores to concentrate on.
First I will stop a person who is shouting that would immediately reduce the anger of attacking one
and then try to make them friends and resolve their issue.
9. Describe in your own words how culture and the environment can impact the
behavior of children.
Disruptive kid behavior refers to behavior occurring when it is difficult for a youngster to manage
its behaviors. Examples of disturbing behaviors include loss of temper, interruption, impulsiveness
that takes little consideration of safety or repercussions, aggression, and other socially unacceptable
actions.
12. What are the main differences between disruptive behaviors and ‘behaviors of
concern’?
Disturbance occurs when a youngster is recalcitrant and stops him/her from concentrating on what
he/she is doing. Concerns, formerly known as 'difficult conduct,' occur when a youngster does
things that injure himself and/or others. A behavior of concern refers to any behavior which causes
bodily injury or destruction of property, which might cause injury to the individual or any other
person. Whereas, Disruptive behavior is described as actions that hinder teachers' and students'
capacity to learn. Common instances of disruptive behaviors, however, are class foods. Cellular
ringing. Classroom talks are monopolized.

1. Write a paragraph to describe your concerns about Kurt and what steps, as an
assistant educator you would need to take to respond to those concerns.
Guidance: Make sure you include details of how you will record and report your suspicions
and how you would share information with colleagues regarding Kurt’s development and
wellbeing.
Kurt is 6 years old, he has recently registered as an Assistant Educator for the School Age Care
Service. Kurt is one of several children of his age. He attends school every day before and after. The
lead teacher you work with let you know that Kurt's parents had split lately, and his mom said
things are a bit rough until the split is through. The mother is the parent with whom you will have
the greatest interaction when her father is working. Kurt portrays himself for his new enrollment, as
a very calm and distant youngster. You and your colleagues make him feel comfortable serving with
one of his other children and work hard to support him. You are attentive to find out what it enjoys
and to assist it to deal with resources and with other children. Kurt still has no friendship with his
peers after one month and she usually talks with the teachers first. Her mother tells him that she is
also a bit retired. You begin to suspect that Kurt's current/emotional/psychological problem may be
present
Kurt needs more attention and care from family importantly. Along with that she should be pointed
out in a group and should be involved in various activities like games and activities that enhance
social and emotional welfare. Even, Kurt should create friends and try to provide and surround him
with the thinks or atmosphere that comes under the likes of him. As his mental and emotional health
is not correct and should be stabilized with continuous approach and counseling.
3. List at least 3 strategies that could be used to support Kurt to socialize with the
other children in the group.
- Track interests
If a youngster does something they're interested, it comes more naturally to enjoy others. It is the
first step towards improving social skills, whether they participate in a preferred sport, are playing
an instrument that they like, or are part of an interesting group.
- Get to know questions
Sometimes when youngsters are scared or discuss lagging, in future social circumstances, they
might become more introverted and ultimately fight. There are various methods in which kids may
begin and have constructive talks with others according to the Center for Development & Learning.
- Exercise Role Play
Pretend play is an excellent approach for children to actively exercise their social skills, both
younger and older youngsters. LD Online offers practical advice for parents to play a meaningful
role. Tell your kid that she is the one with whom she can speak or get along. This gives you an
insight into how this individual is or at least how this specific individual views his child.
4. List the National Quality Standard and elements that link to this practice.
Element 5.2.2 It supports the management of each child's behavior, the responsiveness of others,
and effective communication to resolve conflict. Element 5.2.2.
Each kid is provided with the standard element 5.1.3 to feel safe
5. State the code and the convention that applies in this situation.
States Parties shall respect and ensure the rights of any child within their jurisdiction, regardless of
race, color, gender, language, religion, political or another opinion, national, ethnic or social origin,
property, disability, birth, or other status outlined in this Convention, regardless of discrimination in
any kind, regardless of the parent's or legal guardian's race, color or otherwise.
You are one of the educators working with a group of 24 pre-school-aged children at
Sparkling Stars Childcare Centre. At Sparkling Stars, there is a very strong focus on
collaborating with the children to build their ideas into the program each day.
Each day in the Preschool Room starts with a ‘Morning Conference’ where the
children are invited to share their ideas for what they would like to do for the day.
Question 1.
a) Imagine you are running the Morning Conference. How will you ensure there
is enough time for all the children to express their ideas?
b) Which alternatives can you provide to the children that have difficulty
expressing themselves in front of the whole group?
c) How will you make sure you acknowledge each child’s contributions?
d) How will you encourage children to share their stories and ideas?
a)Every student should be given a set amount of time in which their thoughts and values are
considered. If anybody has any issue with the conference then can meet personally at the end of
school.
b)Students can meet personally or can call me personally from home to me on my number. So the
optimistic approach can be inherited
d)By giving rewards like chocolates and much more that can enhance them in telling the right
thing happened with them or ensuring them the privacy and importance of their thoughts and
stories.
Question 2.
At this Morning’s Conference, Jackson has an idea to build a rocket which appeals to most
of the children in the group. As you discuss Jackson’s idea, a lot of other
suggestions are added – some of them unsuitable for the care situation.

Assess the solution's success and explain the right one to be adapted.
Question 3.
During the discussions you had with the children, they showed an interest in finding out where
all their friends’ families come from. You decide it is a great opportunity to build multicultural
cooking experiences into the program for all the children. Some of the younger children are a
little hesitant about trying new things.
Now Emilia is taking care of Jake on her own as she works full-time as an admin assistant
for an accounting firm. She often has to work until late and has arranged for the school bus
to send Jake to the childcare center after his school until she can pick him up on her way
home from work.
Scenario 1:
Despite what he has gone through, Jake is a happy and playful kid. He likes being around
other kids and has no problems meeting new people. However, during his first week at the
center, it was observed that Jake has violent tendencies when having disagreements with
the other kids in the center.
He was caught hitting another kid and using bad language while fighting over some Lego
blocks. You have had a talk to Jake about his behavior and how it is not right to use
violence and bad words, however, he started to panic in fear of being punished for his bad
behavior. His heartbeat started to race and he started to breathe heavily and sweat
profusely. He stopped responding to your questions until he calmed down a few minutes
after the incident.
1.1 This behavior raised your concern and made you decide to discuss it with your supervisor.
Simulate a dialogue with your supervisor by creating a video recording of yourself
discussing your concerns about Jake. You may do it as a monologue or you may invite a
friend to play the part of your supervisor. Keep your recording less than 5 minutes long.
Guidance:
To ensure successful completion of the relevant requirements for this task, including the following
information in your discussion:
Identify areas of concern
Recognize any possible developmental challenges or mental health issues of Jake that may have
potential impacts on his behavior
Identify possible contributing environmental factors
Share your recommendation in determining when to involve other staff for supported intervention
On the third day, Jake had a fight with another kid in the center over losing a group race
because one of his teammates did not follow the race instructions correctly. He blamed his
teammate for losing the game and used bad language to express his frustration.
On the fourth day, Jake pushed Lisa, a 5-year-old girl who also goes to the center, after
she refused to share her snacks with him. When Lisa started crying and telling Jake she
would tell her mum what he did, Jake started to panic and started crying himself.
On the fifth day, Jake fought again with some of the kids because they didn't want to
include him in their games. Jake started throwing things at them and when you tried to
calm him down, he started having another severe panic attack.
Answer: Jake’s behaviour like violent attitude, use of bad language while playing with other children.
When encountered for his behaviour he has panic attacks.
c. How much does this behavior affect the child’s relationships? Describe the
intensity of the behavior.
Answer: Due to this behaviour, other children will not want to play with him. He is very aggressive
and uses strong language to depict his aggression. He ends up being alone for rest of day.
Answer: Jake’s behaviour which requires additional support are his extreme anxiety, high level of
frustration and the panic attacks he experiences while being encountered.
1.4 Create a report offering your findings from your observation as additional support to
your supervisor:
Summary:
The report incorporates the behvioral problems of Jake. He has an anxiety disorder, he is
aggressive and experience panic attacks frequently.
He demonstrated the behavior for first day. Then I observed this behavior of his on
second, third, fourth and fifth day. He is not a team player and is violent with different
children regularly.
Due to his this habit, he is usually alone and has nobody to play with.
Recommendations:
Jack should be made understand of his violent behaviour. Since he has anxiety attacks therefore,
she should be handled carefully but should be confronted. He should be given another chance for
undoing his mistakes. Jack should be encouraged for his good behaviors.
