‘Scenario:
“Tuli pu down the Lion King book fora minute so she could go to the bathroom and when she
‘came back Lisa was reading it. They are now pulling on the book and geting angry. How would
‘you respond?
1 would calmly walk over the gils and ask, “May Ihave the book please?” After receiving the
‘book I would began to use -Message by saying, Gils, I see that you're having a disagreement
‘ver this book and that youboth would like to read tT am glad to see you bob are interested
in reading, However, didnot ik to see you fight with each other.” I would then explain the
situation by saying, “Lisa, ula was reading the book yb st she only put it down fora
‘bathroom break.” Making sure Lisa is aware of the issue. My second strategy would be to give
the girls Choices by saying. “Perhaps you girls can read together or take turns with the book?”
Or use Redirection. “Lisa, Since Julia reading the Lion King and I see you are intrested in
reading about animals, woud you like me to help you find another book about animals in ou
library?” With using the Redirection strategy, acknowledge the childs interest and direct her
focus into another book without distracting ber from her interest.
| Short term goals: Initially my goal is forthe children to stop fighting. My response to this
‘would encourage sharing. By giving them choices, Tm Supporting decision making
: believe my approach will support the long term goals of developing critical
ing on the part of the girs. It wil also help the girls understand there are always other
tions; they cam have wha: they like but it will have to compromise.
Scenario 2:
‘ohn and Sara have discovered that they can make small balls with play dough and sing them
‘cross the room with ther plastic spoons so they stick tothe wall. They think itis very funny!
How would you respond?
For this scenario I would approach the children and began to use I-Message for my first strategy
by saying “I see you guys are having fun and have figured out how to make shapes with the play
dough. Good job.” “I've noticed you have been slinging it across the room making the class very
dirty. I do not like the class to be dirty.” “Do we think that isa good way to use the play dough?”
‘The child may respond “No.” Then I will ask and suggest ideas such as “Since you've made a
3° cca ye mothe ape wi ay oni the seed sty es Reet by
‘keeping the children focused on using playing but redirecting their ideas withthe play dough.
Before allowing the chilrea to start their new interest, Iwill use Natural Consequences by
saying, “Since you've made a mess with the play dough, you will need to clean te play dough
"ftom across the room before you start making new shapes.” This strategy shows there are
‘consequences for their actions; they make a mess, they will clean after themselves. My last
§> strategy would be Reflective and Response. As the children have engaged into making new
“3S shapes wit the py doug, Iwill walk by and cknowedge their work by saying, “Ob, you've
‘made a square.”

Scenario 3:
‘The children are allowed to play with paint in the art are, but Jose carried his paint brush over to
the block area where he is makiag one ofthe blocks be. He is concentrating very hard on
painting the block. How would you respond?
| will approach Jose and calmly began to use I-Message. “Jose, I ee you are enjoying painting. I
Jike that you are having fun." “You soem tobe enjoying the blocks at this time.” “I am happy
you ae enjoying both things atone time, however you ae ony allowed to paint in the art area."
“Tunderstand you ike blue blocks but these blocks are not tobe painted on.” “Would you like to
go othe art area and make shages to paint?” With I-Messaging, acknowledge the child's
creativity and also make the child aware of my expectations. se bt of redirection by Keeping
Jose's focus on painting but also redirecting hs attention oa something much more appropriate.
Lastly I will use Refletive and Response by Iter walking over to Jose and stating “You've
‘made ed squares and green cre.” Showing Jose I notice what eis doing and motivating him
‘continue. As stated inthe bock “These deceptively simple responses are very powerful
‘communication tols: "You ae climbing so carefully up the sid.” "You used al ofthe red paint
to make your dragon painting” You finished that math ob very quickly today." "You ae waiting
patiently for your tum on the trizycle." Simply put, “R & R statements" are words that tell
chien hat you ee and ae paying atention to what they ae doing. When youuse these 4A ~
statements frequent, children ae aware that you value ther actions and interests. Regular use
of & R statements also helps children make sense of what they are experiencing. (Feeney, p.
200)
‘Short term goal: Firstly, my response to this scenario would promote creativity. By recognizing
his ideas, Iam supporting his cratvity. When making responsive comments, Iam letting the
child I acknowledge what he is doing.
Lanesemsos:
Scenario
‘Brenda loves playing inthe house arca. She always wants to pretend that she isthe baby and that
Desiree isthe mommy. They pay together for long periods of time without conflict. However,
‘when another child tris to enter the play Brenda becomes frustrated and angry, sometimes
yelling atthe other child. Today, when Katie wanted to join in their play, she grabbed up all the
dressup clothes and said, “No one else can play in our family. Its jus the mommy and the
baby!!? How would you respond?Allen 4
Cally walking over to the children I will began to use Conflict Resolution. Iwill ask the girls,
“What's going on?” Katie will reply “I want to play house.” Then Brenda, “I's only mommy
‘and baby.” I then restate the issues by saying, “Katie, Brenda only wants to play as mommy and
baby.” “Brenda, Katie would also like tobe apart of your family.” “Is it okay that Katie joins
ily?” Brenda may reply “No, only mommy and baby.” I then wil began to explain the
‘dynamistic ofa family by saying “Brenda, do you have a sister? Or an Aunt?” She will then
reply “Yes.” Then I'll ask, “Can Katie be your sister? Or your Aunt?” Katie wil begin to play
and I will check onthe group by using my second strategy Reflective and Response by stating,
“Girls you have a tig family.” Or ask questions about their family ike, “Who's the mother?”
“You ae a good mother."
‘Short term goals: My response to this scenario would promote change. By listening, Iam
showing I care about how they feel. When giving them choices, I am supporting decision making
skills. Showing the girs its okay to sometimes change what they're use. Making responsive
comments, Iam builds a relationships with these girls and I am encourages friendship and new
adventures.

X0 [ss stephen isroting onthe oor wil ally sy “Stephen, Lsee you are having diffe sme
behaving in circle, You need to getup and stat your desk with Ms, Mark.” (Ms Marks i the
second tacher in he class) With this strategy Iam using Logie comsequence, showing Stephen
‘fhe cannot behave appropriately thea he will not be able to pariipate in circle time withthe
other children,
