Unit 303 K3D218 (13)

I feel as i am coming to end my brain is dying. My portfolio came back from my assessor i had missed this question out. Encourage babies to learn and develop from birth through practising skills and repeating activites.
Am i right in reading that it means teaching baby to hold bottle, roll over etc and in repeating activities like singing songs, shape sorters it helps them develop
oh god this sounds as if i dont know what i am doing and i have been child minding for 10 years!

Yes, you are right. Any activities which a repetative in anyway. Singing the same song a few times & on a regular basis will encourage communication & language development.
Puzzles & shape sorters used regularly or doing it once then straight away doing it agian children develop the associated skills. Regularly playing on large play equipment...anything like that.

I'm surprised that this hasn't been covered in a direct observation or through a reflective account!

Thank you so much for confirming this for me. It had been covered now i look book thru observations done by assessor but not noted. Can not use them as have been signed off. Also had change of assessor which did not help. Thank you again.

A change of assessor is always difficult. I don't quite understand why you caan't use a previous observation for it if it was written by your current assessor though!?!

Glad that helped you though!

Hi,
I would look through all evidence already in your portfolio and if you see you have covered some or all of the information, place a post it note against the position on the page and give it back to the assessor to reassess. You can do this for any units, pc's knowledge throughout your folder as the more you do the more you will think you have covered it before. For instance if you find a reflective accout that partially covers information, you can add a bit more to the same one and hand it in for remarking pencilling in the pc/k.no. were necessary. Failing that you can get a witness statement or an observation sheet/tick chart that shows that activities have been repeated over a period of time.
