Problem
Case study: Ruby is a five-year-old who attends a kindergarten/preschool where you are the teacher. Her family has communicated to you that she enjoys physical activities and ball games but can become upset if she is 'losing' or having to wait for a turn. She engages with complex conversations and discussions but may not listen to instructions when asked to stop chatting and focus on her task. She also enjoys art experiences and is able to paint and draw with great detail and expertise. Ruby has had several outbursts since she began attending three months ago. On four separate occasions, she has physically struck out at other children in the group by punching and kicking them. She has also been noticed pinching other children and then running away so the child does not see her. These incidents have been observed and documented. Conversations with her family so far have been informal and they do not seem to think her behavior is a concern.
• How you would prepare the physical and social environment to contribute to the child's relationship with others and learning?
• What is the family, cultural and ethical considerations related to the case study?
