Assignment task:
Week 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 is 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.
