The teacher supported the children by letting them do what they think, and trust them with their
thinking. The teacher involved the children in the meaningful talks to get the answers from them.
The teacher also stopped telling them to be careful and let the children decide what is right and

The documentation strategy which has been used is recording of video which is related to
children’s learning so that this can be showed to their parents. Which will help the parents to
understand that the child is in safe hands.
