CYPCORE 3.4-3
ACTIVITY
Task 1
(3.1 / 3.2 / 3.3)
It is important that children and young people are allowed to exercise their rights and choices, whilst health and safety requirements are maintained. This can lead to a dilemma when children and young people wish to undertake a task that you may feel is not within their capabilities, or that is not safe for them to do so
What are your feelings about this statement?
Children gain self-esteem and confidence when they are able to take risks. It teaches them to assess the risk themselves. If it is a great hazard with a great risk then I would explain to them why it should not be done rather than just stopping them.___________________________________________________________________
Can you think of any situations when this has happened to you?
I have had a child wanting to go over the climbing frame which I did feel they were capable of so I talked to them about what might happen if they couldn’t and why I did not want them to go over. Other children not able would want to try and might get injured or will be upset if they are not given a chance._________________________________________________________________
Consider the following scenarios. How could you allow children to exercise their rights and choices, whilst maintaining health and safety requirements? Tick the answer you think is correct.
Chloe, who is two, wants to use the scissors to cut the paper. a- Let her try by herself, whilst you supervise b- Give her the scissors to play with, so she becomes familiar with them c- Show her how to use them, and then let her try under supervision
Thomas, who is ten, wants to walk to the park to play with his friends a- Let him go by himself b- Refuse to let him, and make him stay at home c- Walk the route with him a few times, so he is aware of the hazards
Your group of 4 year olds wants to go out to play in the puddles, but it is still raining and they do not have waterproofs. a- Explain they do
