emotional development
Part of learning about emotions is learning to recognise and name the emotion they are experiencing. Describe how you have supported a child experiencing frustration due to the inability to perform a task or activity independently.
Provide an example of a situation where you have assisted a child to recognise how a specific emotion makes them feel physically and what strategies you have suggested to them to regain control.
Describe an interaction where you have assisted a child to recognise that other people may be experiencing emotions different to their own and supported them in developing empathy for others.
Write a short anecdote that demonstrates how you assist children to develop persistence and perseverance in the face of a challenging situation.
Provide an example of how you shared children’s achievements with families both informally and formally.
Communication
In a diverse society we often have CALD (Culturally and Linguistically Diverse) families enrolled in our service. Describe how you demonstrate to the families that you value their home language and support families to ensure children are learning their home language as well as English?
Holistic Environment
Describe how you organise and plan the learning environment to encourage small and large group social interactions and also ensure children have the opportunity to choose a private and quiet area should they wish to.
