13. Explain why it is important that babies and infants sleep as they need, rather than setting a
specific ‘sleep time’.
Ans. It is essential that babies should sleep as they need rather than a specific schedule
because babies needs more sleep during day time which make benefit in their well-being.
Educator's must not force babies to sleep at specific times.
Office use only
Assessor Feedback
Yes this is a good point. I would also add that sleep is important for the growth of babies and
infants as it helps them grow healthy. Sleeping patterns varies on each child and timing the sleep
will mean they don’t get enough rest and that can make them restless and they don’t get to do
anything but rather leave them irritated and lazy. During sleep learning is strengthened and
biological changes occur which helps the child grow, develop and stay healthy.
An educator will never force a child to stay awake when the child is clearly tired and wants to
18

sleep.

Case studies
Case study 1
You have observed a new staff member make comments like, ‘Wow, that stinks! ‘and ‘Pooooh,
what does your mother feed you?’ when they have been helping children to use the toilet. When
you have explained to them that those types of statements are inappropriate, the staff member
has declared ‘Who cares? They are too young to understand anyway. It doesn’t matter.’
1. Describe why this could be considered an inappropriate way of interacting with a child.
Ans. According to the above case study, the staff member's behaviour was inappropriate as
they should not use such language in front of children's because in an early age they may
learn such things and they may adapt these things as their behaviour for lifetime.

You are heading in the right direction with your response Rosy.
This educator has disrespected the child making them feel that they have done something wrong,
this could lead to them not wanting to go to the bathroom at the Centre and could have medical
issues in later life. It also can be detrimental to the child’s self-identity & self-esteem.

What suggestions could you provide to Sam’s mother Rosy as an alternative as you are not able to
implement her requests?
Could you for example, suggest to play soft music in the back ground to support Sam with self
soothing instead of rocking him back to sleep?
Please provide some additional alternative arrangements.

Rosy, you have just provided the same example that I gave to support your
understanding.
Please provide some additional alternative arrangements.

The educators must perform some physical activities so that children can sleep
peacefully.
6. What are the dangers to Sam if the practice of bottle feeding in bed continues?
Ans. According to the Sam's case study, it can involve a danger of bottle feeding while on
bed because most of the babies may fall asleep during feeding which can draw liquid into
their lungs. He might then inhale it which can cause harm to him. Another danger to Sam if
the practice of bottle feeding in bed continues such as a contamination of ear may also
develop. It can be possible to have a tooth decay as well as the sleeping related problems
can also arises.

Part C - Project
Educators are required to provide a safe environment where babies can grow in confidence to
explore and learn, and practice new skills such as rolling over, sitting, crawling and walking.
Note: Your response must include all of the above skills.
You are required to design and set up a physical environment of your choice for babies aged between
birth and 15 months. The area needs to:
 be safe and secure
 provide opportunities for relaxed and physical contact with educators
 accommodate individual needs of the children in care, in particular the ages.
Draw a picture in the space below, showing how you would set up the area for this age group.
Nominate either the indoor or outdoor area, consider the layout and show the equipment and any
other furnishings such as shelving, tables and chairs, or fixed play equipment and sandpits if outside.
You may prefer to draw on a separate piece of paper and attach it to this workbook.
Students
Please attach documents here OR copy and paste a photo of your design here.
Note: When attaching separate documents, please ensure that these have your full

Thank you for the effort that you have placed in to creating your floor plan. I appreciate all your
effort, and you have made a good start.
If we have a look at the assessment question it is asking for you to provide a safe environment
where babies can grow in confidence to explore and learn, and practice new skills such as rolling
over, sitting, crawling and walking.
Unfortunately, I cannot see any resources or areas within your floor plan that would support
children practicing these skills.
I can see you have mentioned a baby play area and rug- but what would you have in these areas to
support these developing skills?
For example, you could provide a tummy time area to support children with rolling over or
crawling. Perhaps some push along toys to support children that are walking, etc.
You do not have to draw your floor plan again, as I can see your understanding into creating the
floor plan, however in the RESUBMISSION RESPONSE table below I would like for you to state
specific equipment or areas that you could provide the children and where in your floorplan you
would provide these.
Please extend in the ORANGE RESUBMISSION RESPONSE box here.
