Problem:
Jayden male 3 years 6months old was playing in the sandpit alongside other children. He brought over a bucket of sand to the educator and explained that he wanted to scoop the sand he collected into an ice tray. The educator tried supporting Jayden by searching for the right sized spoon to scoop the sand he'd collected into the ice tray. He supported Jayden using words that Jayden could use to seek support. During the search, Jayden got upset because he couldn't get the spoon that he had in his mind and started to jump up and down, demonstrating his frustration. The educator remained calm while assisting Jayden by getting more support from others to search for a right sized spoon for his play. Another child, Amelia walked in and heard the educator saying to Jayden to walk with him to look for the spoon. She discovered an appropriate tool lying nearby, picked it up and suggested to Jayden to use that. Jayden looked at the item and with the educator's agreement that the alternative tool was a perfect fit, Jayden tried the and it was perfect. Jayden seemed pleased and went on with his planned play.
