Week five Scenario: The Little Explorer’s Toddler Room

Reflect upon the scenario below.

Scenario: The Little  Explorer’s Toddler Room is a childcare classroom with 12 toddlers aged  24-36 months. There is a classroom teacher and teaching assistant  assigned to the classroom. The room is designed to encourage exploration  and play, with various activity stations and toys. It can be crowded in  some activity areas. Sometimes there are not enough of the same or  similar toy to play with and this creates problems.

Recently, the classroom teacher has  noticed an increase in challenging behaviors. Several toddlers are  having frequent tantrums during transition times. Several other children  have been involved in multiple biting incidents, often during conflicts  involving sharing toys and taking turns. This challenging behavior has  led to other children becoming upset and sometimes joining in with the  arguments and aggressive behavior.

Assignment: Prepare a  concise guide (500 words) using the headings below to briefly identify  the challenging behaviors, inform the teacher about appropriate toddler  social and emotional development milestones, and explain the difference  in positive and negative discipline and punishment. Describe two  guidance strategies to help the children learn to manage their feelings.  List your resources. Use at least 2 authoritative resources.  Include a  reference page and appropriate in-text citations in the body. 

Use the following headings to organize your information:

• Identify the Challenging Behaviors:
• Describe the Children’s Developmental Stage:
• Explain positive, negative discipline, and punishment:
• Guidance Strategy 1:
• Guidance Strategy 2:
• Resources used: (Use at least 2 authoritative resources)
