Child Care Assignment Help

TASK Eden (3 years 6 months) still has regular toileting accidents – she often wets herself because she doesn’t want to leave her play and leaves it until the very last minute to rush to the toilet. Eden is at the puzzle table when the educator notices a pool of liquid under her chair. The educator approaches Eden and quietly says, “Eden, I noticed you’ve had an accident. Let’s go and get some clean clothes for you.” The educator takes Eden’s hand and they walk to the bathroom. The educator also quietly alerts another educator who proceeds to clean the area. The educator retrieves Eden’s change of clothes and offers assistance. “Let’s get these wet things off. Here’s a warm washer Eden. Can you wipe yourself?” The educator encourages Eden to dress herself while she puts the wet clothing in a bag “We’ll put these clothes in a bag so you can take them home to get washed.” Eden appears anxious about having an accident. Educator: “There you go Eden, all nice and dry. Sometimes when you’re playing you get very busy and forget you need to go to the toilet. When your body tells you need to go to the toilet its best to go straight away. You know you can go straight back to your play after you’ve been to the toilet. How about I help you by reminding you to go to the toilet.” Eden smiles and nods. That afternoon, the educator takes Eden’s mother aside to a private area away from the children and other families, and talks to her about Eden’s accident and how Eden seemed a bit upset and anxious. Eden’s mother explained that they were getting frustrated with Eden’s accidents at home and were not sure how best to manage them. The educator discussed the importance of staying calm and reassuring Eden and to use gentle reminders regularly. She gave Eden’s mum some further strategies on helping Eden be better tuned in to her body so that she can get to the toilet in time. Identify and list three ways in which the educator supports Eden’s self-esteem and privacy in relation to the toileting accident. List three simple rules that could be introduced to assist preschool children to develop independent toileting skills.
