1. According to Australia's Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines and the Australian 24-Hour
Movement Guidelines, what is the recommendation for physical activities for toddlers during a 24-hour period?
Give two (2) examples.
1. Active Playtime: Throughout the day, toddlers should play actively for at least sixty minutes.
This can involve exercises including sprinting, leaping, scaling, and dancing. Toddlers can
explore and move freely in a safe, exciting environment that parents or other caregivers
establish, whether it's indoors or outside. For instance, creating a miniature obstacle course
indoors with soft mats, tunnels, and balance beams, or going to an outdoor playground with
play areas and equipment suitable for children of different ages.
2. Interactive Games and Movement: Toddlers gain from social engagement and the
development of their gross motor skills. Fun and vigorous games like "Simon Says," "Follow the
Leader," or "Red Light, Green Light" can help toddlers improve their coordination and listening
abilities while also getting them moving.

b. List a minimum of three (3) policies and procedures that are relevant to Quality Area 2.
https://www.acecqa.gov.au/national-quality-framework/guide-nqf/section-4-operational-re
quirements/quality-area-2-childrens-health-and-safety
The National Quality Standard's Quality Area 5 is dedicated to promoting kids' learning
and growth via high-quality educational initiatives. Its primary goals are to guarantee that
childcare facilities offer excellent educational programs that are tailored to the unique
interests, skills, and developmental requirements of every child. This section places a
strong emphasis on the value of developing interesting and engaging learning settings,
putting intentional teaching practices into practice, and encouraging all kids to learn well.
The importance of working together with families and communities to assist children's
learning and development both inside and outside of the daycare setting is also
emphasized in Quality Area 5. Overall, Quality Area 5's main goals are to provide an
environment where learning is always being improved and to give kids rich, fulfilling
experiences that set the foundation for future learning.
d. In Quality Area 5, there are two standards (5.1 and 5.2). In your own words describe their main requirements,
and provide a policy for each of two standards to ensure the standards requirements are achieved.
Standard 5.1
Relationships between educators and children. Respectful and equitable
relationships are maintained with each child.
Standard 5.2 Relationships between children. Each child is supported to build and maintain sensitive
and responsive relationships
How those ● Standard 5.1
In early childhood settings, building strong relationships between educators and
standards
students is crucial to fostering a caring and supportive learning environment. To
could be do this, one must be dedicated to promoting cooperation, communication, respect,
achieved? and trust.
● Standard 5.2
In early childhood settings, fostering strong interactions among children is
essential to establishing a peaceful and encouraging social environment. To do
this, instructors must provide students the chance to connect socially, impart
dispute resolution techniques, and encourage cooperation and empathy.
3. Outline the requirements that must be followed to ensure that children’s bedding is clean and does not
carry infection risks.
Sleep items must be laundered at least weekly or more often when soiled or wet.
Mattress covers should be cleaned and disinfected at least weekly, before being used by
another child or when soiled or wet. All blankets should be changed and laundered at
least once a month or more often if soiled or wet.

4. Outline the requirements in preparing and storing formula powdered milk in reference to the Australian
Government Infant Feeding Guidelines.
Preparing
1. Selection of Formula
Choose a commercially prepared infant formula suitable for the infant's age, nutritional needs, and any specific dietary requirements or health considerations.
2. Hygiene Practices
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling any feeding equipment or formula.
3. Water Quality
Use safe, potable water for preparing formula. If using tap water, it should be boiled and then cooled to no less than 70°C before adding formula powder.
4. Measuring and Mixing
Use the provided scoop or measuring utensil to accurately measure the required amount of powdered formula according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Storing
1. Store the powdered formula in a cool, dry place, preferably in the original container
with the lid tightly sealed.
2. Ensure that the container is kept away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent
spoilage and maintain the quality of the formula.
5. Research the current National Health and Medical Research Council ‘Staying Healthy: Preventing
infectious diseases in early childhood education and care services’, and define the following concepts
using an example.
Airborne transmission
Airborne transmission refers to the spread of infectious agents (such as bacteria, viruses,
or fungi) through the air via respiratory droplets or droplet nuclei. When an infected
person talks, coughs, sneezes, or even breathes, they release small droplets containing
infectious particles into the air.
Direct contact
Direct contact refers to the transmission of infectious agents from one person to another
through physical contact between individuals or contact with contaminated surfaces or
bodily fluids.

6. Provide a description of stranger anxiety, separation anxiety, secure attachments and attachment theory in
the following table. Take the links between attachment and children development into account.
Description
Stranger anxiety is manifested by crying when an unfamiliar person approaches. It is normal when it starts at about 8 to 9 months
Stranger anxiety and usually abates by age 2 years. Stranger anxiety is linked with the infant’s developmental task of distinguishing the familiar
from the unfamiliar.

7. Briefly explain the effects of a lack of strong and secure attachments in the early years on a child’s brain
development.
Children with trauma histories may have a wide range of problems related to lack of
secure attachment; these include developmental delays, difficulty with emotional
regulation, impaired social relationships, aggression, low self-esteem, and depression.
Hildyard & Wolfe, 2002; Erickson & Egeland, 2002; Shipman, et al., 2005
8. Research has showed that brain development may vary across children due to the influences of various
environmental and biological factors. Research and answer the questions below.
a. Provide three (3) environmental factors that can influence a child’s brain development.
https://study.com/academy/lesson/how-environment-impacts-early-childhood-developme
nt.html
b. For each of the following four (4) biological factors that can influence a child’s brain development,
outline at least two (2) areas to be considered for reflection regarding the child and their family.
Gender
1. Reflection on Gender Stereotypes: Consider how societal norms and expectations based on gender might
influence the child's upbringing and opportunities.
2. Impact on Self-Concept and Identity: Reflect on how the child's gender identity aligns with societal
expectations and family dynamics.

c. Identify and briefly describe an example of emerging research focusing on the links between parenting
quality and children brain development. You need to provide a reference for this research.
Evidence to date makes clear that not only is extreme adversity in the caregiving
environment, as in the case of abuse and neglect, related to the function and structure of
the developing brain, but also that normative and perhaps more subtle variations in
parenting quality are tied to youth’s neural development as well. This notion provides
optimism that prevention efforts targeting parenting practices and family functioning may
have the potential to significantly impact youth development and that even brief
preventative interventions may have important cascading effects. Moreover, families
experiencing a wider range of hardship, from severe adversity to
more normative stressors, can benefit from parenting support, education, and intervention.

b. At approximately what age can separation anxiety start to occur? At what age does the baby reach the
approximate peak of separation anxiety?
Separation anxiety typically begins to emerge around 6 to 8 months of age and can
continue to intensify until around 12 to 18 months. However, the peak of separation
anxiety commonly occurs around 10 to 18 months of age.

10. Research the current National Health and Medical Research Council Infant Feeding Guidelines, and
answer the following questions.
a. Why is breast milk considered to be the healthiest food for infants?
Compared with formula, the nutrients in breastmilk are better absorbed and used by your
baby. These include sugar (carbohydrate) and protein. Breastmilk has the nutrients that
are best for your baby's brain growth and nervous system development.
https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/breastfeeding-your-bab
y/breast-milk-is-the-best-milk
b. At approximately what age are infants introduced to consumption of solid foods? If introduced earlier, what
potential problem may occur?
Introducing solid foods too early, before the age of 4 months, can potentially lead to risk
of choking and digestive issue.
https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/eating-tips-for-babies
c. Identify three (3) barriers to breastfeeding, and three (3) methods that educators could use to assist a mother
who is facing the inhibitions and create a supportive environment for breastfeeding.
Barriers to breastfeeding:
1. Lack of knowledge about breastfeeding.
2. Embarrassment about feeding in public.
3. Returning to work and accessing supportive childcare.
Methods that educators could use to assist a mother who is facing the inhibitions and
create a supportive environment for breastfeeding:
1. Provide accurate and evidence-based information about the benefits of breastfeeding
for both the mother and the baby.
2. Facilitate support groups or breastfeeding circles where mothers can connect with
each other, share experiences, and offer encouragement.
3. Create breastfeeding-friendly environments by providing comfortable seating areas,
privacy screens, and designated nursing areas where mothers can breastfeed discreetly
if they choose.

12. List three (3) effective communication skills that you would demonstrate as an educator when communicating
with families.
1. When communicating with one another use eye contact, posture/body language, and face the
person by sitting nearby to focus on what the other person has to say.
2. Avoid giving quick advice, even if we know the solution to another person’s problem. Giving quick
advice shows that we really aren’t giving our full attention to what they have to say, and we’re not
valuing the other person.
3. Jumping to conclusions is a bias often referred to as ‘inference-observation confusion’ or in
Layman’s terms, ‘a communication obstacle’ occurring when we make up our mind before we have
all the facts.
https://www.aifc.com.au/effective-communication-for-conflict-resolution
1. Engage in enjoyable interactions with babies as they make and play with sounds.
2. Listen to and respond to children’s approximations of words.
3. Recognise that children enter early childhood programs having begun to communicate
and make sense of their experiences at home and in their communities.
https://www.acecqa.gov.au/sites/default/files/2018-02/belonging_being_and_becoming_t
he_early_years_learning_framework_for_australia.pdf
b. List two (2) one-to-one methods that educators can use to interact with children in the 0–2 room in order to
support children’s communication, learning/development and wellbeing.
a. Identify the type of information you should communicate with parents each day in order to involve them in
promoting children positive eating patterns.
https://appetitetoplay.com/healthy-eating/tips-ideas/ways-communicate-families-about-healthy-eating
Childcare facilities can make sure that parents receive the information they need in both
a visual and digital format by combining email announcements and bulletin board posts.
This makes it easy and accessible for parents to stay updated about good eating habits
for their kids.
Also, infants and toddlers are developing a sense of who they are—a sense of self.
Through individualized care routines with a responsive, trusted adult, each child can
learn that he or she is valued, included, and a part of the community.
https://childcareta.acf.hhs.gov/infant-toddler-resource-guide/infanttoddler-care-providers/
planning-infants-and-toddlers/routines
b. Describe how you could support children when toilet training in consultation with a parent to ensure the
toileting practice consistent with their home practice.
Include potty training in the everyday routine as soon as the kids start. Whether or not the
child says he needs to go, take him to the bathroom on a frequent basis. Assist him to
undress and take a seat on the toilet. Encourage the parents to do the same even at
home.
c. Give an example of considerations that an educator should take into account while providing the following
personal care routines for the children with various backgrounds and cultures.
Food and feeding
requirements
Dietary Restrictions and Allergies
Dress / clothing

16. Briefly explain why the use of comfort items from home can benefit babies and toddlers.
Overall, transitional objects make children feel good and help them manage new
experiences. Comfort objects: Help children relax and get to sleep. Are companions that
children can talk to, sleep alongside, and share experiences.

cts
17. Outline the Australian Standards for cots, bedding, clothing and position during sleep practice that must be
met to ensure the safety of the baby.
Safe cot:
1. The mattress must be flat and fit snugly to within 20 mm of sides and ends
2. With the mattress base net in the lower position, the cot sides or end need to beat
least 500 mm higher than the mattress.
Safe Bedding:
Clothing:
1. Use a cotton sheet or muslin to wrap the baby. Baby can overheat with a blanket.
2. Make sure the baby is wearing little under the wrap, a singlet and a nappy in summer
and a light grow suit/onesie in winter.
3. Adjust the wrapping for developmental stage of the baby, for a younger baby, include
their arms in the wrap for an older baby allow their arms to be free.
4. Stop wrapping the baby when they start to roll. This often happens between four and
six months, but sometimes babies start to roll even younger.
5. Do not use a bunny rug or blanket.
Position:
The approved provider of an education and care service must take reasonable steps to
ensure that the needs for sleep and rest of children being educated and cared for by the
service are met, having regard to the ages, development stages and individual needs of
the children.
1. Low birthweight
2. Premature birth
3. Maternal nutrition during pregnancy
4. Maternal smoking
5. Maternal alcohol use
https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/sudden-infant-death-syndrome-sids
b. Briefly explain why the following sleeping practices greatly reduce the risk of SUDI.
It is very important to put the baby to sleep on their back. Baby’s risk of SUDI is significantly increased if they
sleep on their stomach.
Healthy babies placed to sleep on their backs are less likely to choke on vomit than tummy-sleeping babies.
Back-sleeping ensures that babies’ airways are kept clear and their protective reflexes (gag, swallow and
arousal) can work at their best.
Over time, sleeping on their back may slightly flatten the back of your baby’s skull. This is called ‘positional
plagiocephaly'. It usually improves by itself without any medical intervention before the child’s first birthday. We
can help by practicing supervised Tummy Time when baby is awake and is not tired or hungry.
https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/sudden-unexpected-death-in-infants-sudi-and-sids
Active sleep means that the child may move, groan, open their eyes, cry out or breathe
noisily or irregularly.
https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/typical-sleep-behaviour
Quiet sleep:
Quiet sleep means the child will lie relatively still and their breathing will be more even.
https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/typical-sleep-behaviour
Birth to 3
Newborns generally sleep 12 to 16 hours in a 24-hour period and do not know
months
the difference between day and night. Newborns need regular feeding, so they
usually sleep in short periods. Newborns sleep in short bursts, known as sleep
cycles which are usually around 20 to 50 minutes long.
https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/typical-sleep-behaviour-n
b-0-3-months
3 to 6 months
Between the age of 3 and 6 months, some babies have 2 or 3 longish sleeps
during the day, while others just have short naps. A few sleep 12 hours at night
without interruption, some manage 8 hours while many others wake fairly
regularly for feeds. Most have learned to sleep more at night than they do during
the day.
https://www.healthywa.wa.gov.au/Articles/S_T/Sleep-3-6-months
6 to 12
Babies at 6 to 12 months are beginning to know the difference between night and
months
day. They may not need to wake up as much at night because night feeds will have
reduced. At this age, most babies sleep 10-14 hours in a 24-hour period. Their
longest sleep period tends to be at night.

Teenagers need 8-10 hours of sleep each night. It's common for teenagers
to start going to bed and waking up later. Simple habits can help teenagers
get the sleep they need for health and wellbeing.
https://raisingchildren.net.au/teens/healthy-lifestyle/sleep/sleep-teens
b. List a minimum of three (3) things that you can share if families come to you with questions or issues about
their children's sleeping patterns after the transition.
1. By informing them that throughout periods of change, it's normal for kids to have
disturbances in their sleep patterns. Together, determine what could be causing this shift and
look into methods to assist your child in adjusting to a new sleep schedule.
2. Will talk about their child's unique sleep requirements and preferences, and will offer them
support and direction as they make this change together.
3. Establishing a regular bedtime ritual can assist in informing a youngster when it's time to wind
down and get ready for bed. Work with your family to come up with a customized bedtime ritual
that will fit your child's interests and make them feel relaxed and at ease before going to bed.
21. Babies and toddlers have an individual sleep pattern and routine. Educators should take their routines and
rituals into account when caring for multiple babied in order to accommodate every child’s need for sleep and
rest. Briefly explain why it is important to consider each child’s routines and patterns and accommodate them
individually.
“Routines offer opportunities to build relationships with each infant and toddler that
promote attachment and trust” (EHS NRC, 2014, p. 6). Also, infants and toddlers are
developing a sense of who they are—a sense of self.

commence the training. Provide a response to the following questions.
24. a. List four (4) signs of readiness for toilet training.
https://raisingchildren.net.au/preschoolers/health-daily-care/toileting/toilet-training-guide
b. List three (3) things educators could teach children prior to toilet training.
1. Teach your child to wipe their bottoms thoroughly. You can use pre-moistened wipes for your
little one to wipe their bottom effectively (remember not to flush unless they are flushable).
2. Teach them to flush the toilet and wipe the toilet seat or their potty.
3. Demonstrate to them how to wash their hands – first wet them, then apply soap, then scrub
for at least 25 seconds to cover their whole hands, then rinse and dry.

1. Use words to express the act of using the toilet ("pee," "poop," and "potty").
2. Ask your child to let you know when a diaper is wet or soiled.
3. Identify behaviors ("Are you going poop?") so that your child can learn to recognize the
urge to pee and poop.
4. Get a potty chair your child can practice sitting on. At first, your child can sit on it
wearing clothes or a diaper. When ready, your child can go bare-bottomed.
https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/toilet-teaching.html

25. Research the Australian Dental Association (ADA) Oral Hygiene Guidelines and Tips for Parents and
Carers of Young Children. Based on ADA recommendations, answer the following questions:
a. When should parents start brushing a child’s teeth and with what?
As soon as the first tooth appears (usually at around 6 months of age) brush gently with a
soft children's toothbrush and water.
https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/toothbrushing-childre
n
b. What causes tooth decay in children, and why does excessive bottle use specifically increase the risk
of tooth decay?
These names are used because the evidence suggests that early childhood caries can occur if
babies and infants are settled to sleep with a bottle of milk or formula (or other sweet drinks).
Milk can pool in the mouth and the lactose sugar in milk feeds the bacteria that cause decay as
the baby sleeps.
https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/tooth-decay-young-children
The best way to prevent baby bottle tooth decay is to limit your child's time with a bottle,
especially at bedtime. Give him a bottle at mealtime, but don't let him suck on it
throughout the day. If sucking is soothing to your child, give him a pacifier.
https://aussiechildcarenetwork.com.au/forum/certificate-3-assignments/oral-health-during
-meal-times
d. At what age should a cup be introduced in place of a bottle? At what age should bottle feeding/ bottle
use be stopped altogether?
Most doctors recommend introducing a cup around the time a baby is 6 months old. In the
beginning, much of what you serve in a cup will end up on the floor or on your baby. But by 12
months of age, most babies have the coordination and hand skills needed to hold a cup and
drink from it.
https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/no-bottles.html
e. Describe three (3) strategies to restrict bottles to mealtimes only, and to wean a child off bottle use
altogether.
1. Stop offering bottles altogether.
2. Pack all bottles away and out of sight. I
3. If your child asks for a bottle, offer a drink from a cup and/or a snack instead.

30. Describe how parents assist children to eat using the following parental feeding styles.
Indulgent feeding style:
Parents make nondirective and supportive requests for their children to eat; however,
they make fewer eating demands on their children compared with other styles of feeding.

This style is associated with a lack of structure, limits, and food security. There may be
limited contact with children during meals as the parent ignores signs of hunger or other
emotional needs. There may be limited foods on offer.

Giving the child control over their food behaviors, emotion regulation, using food as a
reward, and controlling food intake for weight control. Children's eating styles did not
largely vary by parenting cluster.

31. Describe five (5) strategies that an ECEC educator could use to safely and appropriately monitor and
foster children’s physical and gross motor development
1. Planned Physical Play: Include planned physical exercises in your everyday schedule.
Games, dances, yoga classes, and obstacle courses that encourage the development of
gross motor abilities could all fall under this category.
2. Outdoor Exploration: Make use of outdoor play spaces to promote movement and
discovery.
3. Adjusted Supervision: Keep a close eye on youngsters when they play physically to
guarantee their safety, but also give them room to explore and take calculated chances
within reasonable bounds.
4. Developmentally Appropriate Equipment: Make age- and developmentally-appropriate
tools and resources available to support the growth of gross motor skills.
5. Individualized Support: Acknowledge and take into account the variations in each
person's physical capabilities and rate of growth.
