Hi everyone

Just had some work from my tutor back and need to add a little more info
This is the quection.

2.5 Encourage children or young people to actively participate in decisions affecting their lives and the services they recieve according to their age and abilities.
I wrote about the The united Nations convention on the rights of the child and wrote a page with why the child needs to make choices and have given a few examples such as
2-3 years of age.
All children of different ages/stages will chose what they would like to play with, without help from adults. Children will chose different activities to play with, you might find one child will play with cars and transport vehicles as another child might like the sensory equipment such as paint or sand so as adults we will provide a wide variety of resources for the child to make their own choices, this will encourage the child to explore the environment and play with the activities that he/she likes.
At snacktime some settings have rolling snack which enables the child to chose when they would like snack it is up to us as practitioners to make sure that it is nicely presented so that it will invite children to try the snack e.g. cucumber and tomatoes sliced gives the snack some bright colours maybe placed with a breadstick or cubes of cheese so that they may try a bit of cucumber with a cube of cheese, this will then be up to the individual choice of the child to decide what he/she would like to eat for snack.

Ages 3-6 years.
In some settings they have an album with toys in and if you feel that the child isn’t joining in then they could chose from the album what they would like to play with. Within most settings now it is found that you put less of an activity out so that you can incorporate a lot more activities so that the child has more choices. At our construction area we have a solid unit on wheels that has approx 15 storage boxes situated inside, they are filled with different construction sets such as duplo bricks, small wooden bricks, stickle bricks, zoo animals and dolls house furniture/dolls. This enables the child to access the storage or storage boxes that they chose to use and play with them, if a child needs extra resources or if more children join in, then in the cupboard we have a big box that we could provide for the child/children to play with.
At this age they will usually ask if there is nothing out that they would like to play with e.g. if there were no cars out, the child might say “I would really like to play with the cars” they would then wait for your reaction and if there was enough room for the cars to be brought out to be played with, it is important for us to keep the child’s interests, if there isn’t enough room perhaps you could compromise and get a few cars out for the child to play with. If there is no way that you can put the cars out explain o the child that unfortunately there isn’t enough room but you will make sure that there is room for cars the next day that they attend the setting.

Tutor has wrote you need to write about older children 7-19years

Any help would be appreciatted on senarios.

By the way i only work with 2-5 year olds so i struggle with older children/young adults.

Lynne

how about choices about their lives, politics, food religion etc all supported by the UNC or choices about their behaviour such as drugs *** etc. also just a point but you should be talking about the 60 months and under in terms of months not years if youre being taught otherwise it is wrong, get into the swing of it, it certainly tests your tables!
