Response to question 1:
The development approach of programming is an object oriented procedure. As the
therapist suggested for physical activities including walking on blocks, balancing, lifting, and
coordination, all the activities must incorporate some objects of her interest. It is mentioned that
her favorite activities are performing cooking role in the area of dramatic play. Hence, she bears
the traits of femininity (Huang et al., 2016). She also prefers book reading with the assistance of
an adult. Hence, the activities must include objects from cookery such as utensils and baby
feeding equipments. On the other hand, the activities must be aided by an adult assistance of her
preference.
Response to question 2:
For example, the educator can offer her some reward after completing 5 minutes’ walk on
the blocks. The tutor can use some utensils or dollhouse for rewarding after completing the walk.
The reason behind offering her a doll house as she prefers the dramatic play area and assumes
the role of cooking and feeding the babies. It will motivate her to complete the walking activity
that will increase her strength as mentioned by the therapist.
