According to Gartrell the mistaken behavior concept it is important because it suggests that
the child’s behavior is a result of incomplete development of a skill, such as a cognitive or
language error.

limited social skills. If he wants something he will simply take it and then become upset if
another child objects. The educator observes Rory take a train and some carriages from the
track that Evan and Zavier (3.6yrs) are building.

Evan jumps up and takes the train and carriages off Rory. ‘Give them back. We had them first!’

Story Time

Every day before lunch the educator gathers the children together in the 3’s room to read
stories and sing songs/rhymes. The educator knows that this has a calming effect on the
children and helps them to settle down for the afternoon period. Before she begins her story the
educator comments about the morning program.
“We’ve had a very busy morning. I saw Jonty and Ellam and Cooper, building roads in the
sandpit. I saw Nell and Maisy climbing to the top of the climbing frame.” (The educator
continues until each child has been mentioned).
Today the educator reads a favourite, “Where’s the green sheep?” The children happily join in
the story.
Next the educator uses a range of picture props for the monkey rhyme which the children also
love – they shout out the repetitious section of the rhyme on cue.
As the educator is working with the children she uses a range of tones in her voice and uses a
number of different facial expressions.
The educator also makes eye contact with the children as she scans the group.
When Milly stands and moves closer to the lounge the educator simply continues with the story.
Milly has just moved up to the 3’s room from the 2’s group.
When children make comments or talk to others, the educator continues as she knows the
children will return their attention to her.
To conclude the session the educator asks Callum to nominate a song to sing. “Callum, it’s your
turn today to pick a song for us to sing. Can you think of what song you would like?”
Callum does not immediately so other children begin to make suggestions.
Educator: “Thank you for all your good ideas. That might help Callum as he’s thinking.”
Callum then says, “Let’s sing the cowboy song!”
Educator: “Great choice Callum!”

a. What does the educator do to make every child feel ‘special’ and included?

The educator has been mentioned every child one by one using their name and saying the
action during the morning before the story time.

b. How does the educator engage the children in the story time session?

Faculty of Health, Community & Life Sciences: Box Hill Institute

CHCECE007 Develop positive and respectful relationships with children: AT1: Theory Tasks 002

The educator uses questions such as “ where is the green shaped”, and also use pictures,
songs and voices tones during the story telling time to make that experience more attractive
to the children.

c. Explain why the educator does not ask Milly to sit down but allows her to stand nearby?

Milly is probably on her transition time to that age group setting. The educator may help the
child when it is necessary giving some time to the child getting in tune with the new setting.

d. The educator has a strategy in place which allows each child in turn to suggest a song/rhyme
for the group to sing. How does this support the children’s sense of belonging?

The educator promote the sense of belonging when the children are allowed to participate in
same decisions like choosing the song. That idea supports the child to build and maintain his
or her self- esteem.

Question 7
Read the scenario and answer the related questions.

Scenario: Well. It’s not me!

It is mid-October and the 4.9 – 5.4 years age group at Blue Bay Childcare Centre are all moving
on to ‘big school’ next year. Recently, the educators have struggled with a rise in the amount of
unacceptable and very challenging behaviors. The issue is raised at a staff meeting and several
suggestions are made about how the children’s behaviour could be managed and what should
be the consequences for unacceptable behaviour. It is suggested that the children be consulted
and involved in the process. Lisa, the Room Leader, is excited by this idea and decides to
implement it straight away!

The next day, Lisa introduces a discussion with the children at Group Time. She begins by
saying “You know, lately there has been lots of behaviour that is against our rules. We have
seen children hurting each other and making other children get upset.” Several of the children
call out things like “Yeah. Well it’s not me!” or “Max is the one who does it all!”

Lisa says “Well, Sophie (the other educator in the room) and I have decided that we are going
to ask for your help to fix the problem. Do you think you can do that?” The children agree so
Lisa moves on. “Good. The first thing we need to decide is what behavior we don’t want to see.
You tell me what you think and I’ll write it on this big piece of paper I have here.”

“Now let’s talk about the behaviors we do want to see.”

As the discussion proceeds Lisa and Sophie ensure that each child is given the opportunity to
make a contribution. “Thank you, Leah. Now it’s Caleb’s turn. Would you like to say something
Caleb?” All responses are recorded without criticism.

“Wow! You’ve come up with some really good ideas!”

“Let’s see if we can make some rules that we can all follow.”

Deciding with the children how the rules would be applied and each rules the might follow the
children will be able to follow the rules, it will also help them to develop their well-being and
self-esteem, self regulation.

b. Explain how the decision to involve the children in a discussion reflects NQS, QA5
Relationships with children. (Do not simply cut and paste elements – you must explain how
the elements reflect the discussion process.)

5.1.1 Positive educator to child interactions - the educator build the rules with the children
showing them what should not be acceptable as preschool children. By setting those rules the
children feels more responsible.

c. What strategy did Lisa and Sophie use to ensure everyone was included in the discussion?

They use visual support of the paper to write down everyone ideas and opinions to disposal
later in the classroom environment, then they could refer that later on.

d. Explain how the educators approach to the behaviour concerns supports children’s mental
health.

The educator does not judge their opinion, modeling their empathy by getting everyone the
opportunity of being heard and having the chance of speak.

e. Name one of the principles of the EYLF that is reflected by the educator’s approach to the
behaviour concerns. Give a reason for your choice of principle.

Secure, respectful and reciprocal relationships. Positive interactions with the child during their
learning development. The educator praise the kids after their comments, building relationship
with children.

Natural and Logical Consequences

Isla (4.3yrs) can be bossy and demanding with her peers. She is a natural leader but has not yet
developed an awareness of how her behaviour impacts on others. Isla sits at the table where a
bowl of leaves, sticks and flowers have been placed along with white dough. There are two
other children (Tessa and Jordan) at the table who are arranging various objects on their piece
of dough.

‘That’s not what you do! You have to put all the flowers together and all the leaves together
and all the sticks together!’

The other children ignore Isla. Isla then reaches across the table and takes the dough from the
other children. ‘I’ll show you what to do.’

Tessa yells at Isla, ‘Give it back!’

Jordan moves around the table and tries to retrieve his dough. ‘You’re not the boss Isla!’

Both Isla and Jordan try to grab the dough. Tessa goes to the educator and says, ‘Isla took our
dough and won’t give it back! We don’t want to play with her.’

When the educator approaches Isla says: ‘Jordan and Tessa won’t let me play!’

a. If the educator was aware of this sequence of events what natural consequences could be
imposed on Isla?

The natural consequence would be have no friends to play with her. She must try to be
friendly and gentle.

b. To reinforce this natural consequence what can the educator say to Isla?

The educator could say that; she might share the play materials with everyone and let the
others to choose what they want do or not. Otherwise she would not find other to joying her.

c. If the educator was aware of this sequence of events what logical consequences could be
imposed on Isla?

Adult intervention, the educator could point out the facts and give her the logical
consequences like if she want play by her own rules she probably would play by herself, but if
she want her friends to joying her she must be more flexible.
