Scenario: Fussy Baby
Strategies for understanding the child unique experience:
When is a baby is fussy sometimes it's hard to know what they might need. Especially if the baby can't talk. A fussy baby often means the baby is hungry, needs a dipper change ,needs attention or might be getting sick. Its important to build a relationship with the child, therefore you will be more familiar of their needs.
Recommendations on how to support and reinforce the child's positive social skills:
I would recommend for the teachers keep a notes about the child. By keeping track of the child's interests it will be easy to meet his needs when they child is crying.

Scenario : Biting
Strategies for understanding the child unique experience :When biting occurs we need t go back on why the child is biting , in other words what's causing him/her to do that. We need t observe the child to see if its the same child , same time , same reoccurrences as far as struggled times/experiences.  Tis is something that can be occurred very often in children as when they are older so that cant communicate on what they want to get across.
Recommendations on how to support and reinforce the child's positive social skills :  Reminding the child that the actions they are ding hurts their friends , when it occurs have them go up to the child them bite and remind them to use gentle hands and touches.

Scenario: Biting

Describe strategies for understanding the child’s unique experience:

When we look at why children bite we need to look at what event has triggered this response? Once we observe a child biting we need to adjust and watch the child closely so we can identify why they turn to this. It is also important to remember that this is very common with young children as the book says,  “Biting others is one of the most common transgressions encountered with infants” TTLMB CH13.

Recommendation on how to support and reinforce the child’s positive social skills:

I would recommend explaining to the child that biting hurts and that it is not appropriate to bite others. I would then try to redirect the child's emotions the next time I see them looking like they are going to bite. Children are often more capable of understanding than we think so talking with the child at their level may help.

Scenario:  Fussy Baby
Strategies for understanding the child's unique experience: A fussy baby can mean many things. The reasons that child would most commonly be fussy would be when needs are not being met and they feel a bit of neglect and could be also caused by a feeling of uncertainly/ not safe.
Recommendation on how to support and reinforce the child's positive social skills: It is important to show children that they have a support system in place at school and to have them acknowledge their own feelings. Communication and teaching a child to communicate how they are feeling allows for them to be able to know how they are feeling. Also creating a safe space for the child to properly assess their feelings without being scared.

Scenario: Fussy Baby
Strategies for understanding the child's unique experience: When a baby is fussy it often means their needs are not being met and it is their way of communicating. It is important for the child to know that their needs are going to be met and create a bond of trust with the child. It is important to communicate with the babies to show the babies you respect them and letting them know whats going on or what is going to happen next is comforting. Sometimes when a baby is fussy it may be because of uncertainty or unsure what the day is going to hold.
Recommendations on how to support and reinforce the child's positive social skills: I would recommend a Routine for the child and communicate to the child on what the day is going to hold and will help with the baby feeling uncertain or stressed. I would also recommend reassuring the child that their needs are going to be met and by comforting them. Regularly check in with the child and let them know you are there if the child needs anything but also its good for the child to know that the teacher can be there for the child and the other children as well.

Scenario: Crying Baby
Strategies for understanding the child's unique experience: When a baby  cries unless they are held by a caregiver can often times mean that the child doesn't know how to self-soothe and relies on the caregiver to help them calm down and stop crying.
Recommendations on how to support and reinforce the child's positive social skills:
I would recommend easing in the child to slowly learn how self regulate with out the need of the caregiver. Guiding the child and staying close, but allowing to slowly learn how to calm themselves down on their own. Reassuring the child that the caregiver is near in case they need something.

Scenario: Fussy Baby

Strategies for understanding the child’s unique experience: Many times, a child is considered a fussy baby it is because they require more time and attention than others. A child becomes fussy when they need that extra attention whether it be do be fed, diaper change, or just need someone to give them time when they are engaging in play. A fussy child might need that extra time and attention to feel safe and a sense of belonging.

Recommendation to support and reinforce the child’s positive social skills: One strategy might be being consistent. Setting a schedule for that child to have all their needs met and still giving them that time they need. In order for teachers to be allowed time with the other children in their care. Another recommendation would be setting some time apart to do a one-on-one activity with the child. This way they can see the interest their teacher has in them and their learning. Asking them questions, engaging in conversation.

scenario: Biter
Describe strategies for understanding the child’s unique experience:

“Biting others is one of the most common transgressions encountered with infants” TTLMB CH13. It is important to understand why infants’ bites by acknowledging the specific context that may have triggered the bite. There are reasons children do things whether its curiosity or out of stress and anger. We need to first understand why the infant is biting in order to make the next appropriate step.
Recommendation on how to support and reinforce the child’s positive social skills:
I would  explain how biting is not okay and how it hurts others. Redirect an example is give the infant something else they can do that will help with the sensation of having to bite.  Model good behavior as children are always watching/copying what adults do. Explain that when you want something you don’t bite but ask for it.

# data[].attributes.body
Scenario: Biter
Strategies for understanding the child's unique experience: The first step I would take is to observe the child. I would like to find out if there is any trigger to their biting. It could be teething, frustration with not being able to communicate, or frustration with the other children. If I did not find anything that seemed to be the cause of the biting, I may try and find out what the home situation is like. Maybe if they have older siblings the child is picking up on their actions. Or maybe they are an only child and are used to more attention, so the child is biting because they know a teacher will come.
Recommendations to support and reinforce the child's positive social skills:
I would redirect the child. "Biting hurts other people. We do not bite. Something we can do instead is use gentle touch..." Or maybe I could offer them a toy and say, "Biting hurts people. You can bite this toy instead." I would also try and have a conversation with parents to try and find a solution we can both work on. I would make sure to still encourage the parents to participate their child in peer interaction and I would do my best to encourage group play with the children.

Scenario: Fussy Baby
Strategies for understanding the child's unique experience:
When a child is considered or viewed as a fussy baby it is because they are often times in need of attention or care from the adults around them. It's important to give all children the same amount of attention so that they don't miss out on any social emotional skills. When an child is acting fussy we have to remember to go to them in a positive way because we don't want them to think that if they are being fussy they will be punished.
Recommendations to support and reinforce the child's positive social skills:
I would recommend for there to be a sort of journal in where the teacher can write what the child did in terms of fussiness and explain what the child might have needed so that the parents can read it at home and see if that correlates to what they may experience at home. And we have to always remember to approach them with a kind attention since we want them to have positive relationships instead of relationships that are met with negativity.

Scenario: Crying baby
Strategies for understanding the child's unique experience:
A baby that cries too much unless it is being held by the caregiver, because the child is having a hard time self-soothing in their own, and is relying on the caregiver to calm her down. Also, the child has built a close relationship with the caregiver, and relies on her to feel safe and secure.
Recommendations to support and reinforce the child's positive social skills:
My recommendation would be to slowly let the child be on their own, while the caregiver is near by. As long as the baby is fed, has clean diaper, and not tired, the caregiver can place the child near by, and talk to the child to reassure he/she is okay. Little by little the child will feel comfortable being on their own, and not relying on the caregiver to calm her/him down. The caregiver can have face to face interactions, sing songs, and talk to the baby during diaper changes. Also, the caregiver can start creating a routine for the child, which is going to help the child have a sense of structure, and use classical music to create a clam environment for the child.

Scenario: Quiet baby

Strategies for understanding the child's unique experience:

A child who is quite has a hard time speaking or interacting with others. They have a hard time communicating with others and sharing their ideas. They might feel overwhelmed when there are a lot of children or people present. A child might need guidance to speak with other children and share their ideas. A quiet child loses the opportunity to develop their social-emotional skills.

Recommendations to support and reinforce the child's positive social skills:

The first thing we should consider is noticing the child. We, as caregivers, can make them the center of attention. We can plan an activity that the child enjoys doing and is well known and pair them with another child who is just learning. In that manner, the child can have the opportunity to socialize by teaching another child how to do the activity. We can also engage the child with other children and let them be children.

Scenario: Fussy Baby
Strategies for understanding the child's unique experience: When a child is fussy they are in need for care or attention. Most times children fuss when they need to be changed, feed, or played with. Fussy children need more attention to create bonds and help the children feel safe.
Recommendations: I would recommend creating a routine for the child. Creating a routine can help the child understand a sense of schedule while reminding them that they will be in a secure and caring environment. Another recommendation can be more hands on attention or one on one attention with a specific adult so the child can warm up and feel comfortable with the adult. This will help put the fussy baby at ease.The adult can do many things such as doing activities of the child's interest such as play with specific toys, read specific books, and connect with nature.

# data[].attributes.body
Scenario: Fussy Baby
Strategies for understanding the child's unique experiences: For infants who are more fussy, it may be more difficult for caregivers to calm them and give them the care they need because of the care that needs to go to other children as well. For this scenario, I would try to observe the child and see if there is a pattern and what might possibly be causing the child to become fussy. I would also try to understand the child's home routine and background.
Recommendations to support and reinforce the child's positive social skills: I would recommend  still working with the child and trying to develop skills in their development even if they are being fussy. Doing tummy time, reading books, playing with toys and giving them positive reinforcement.

# data[].attributes.body
Strategies for understanding the child's unique Experience
For this scenario I would observe the child to understand more; the child could be having difficulty expressing wants/needs. Just like we use our senses, the child may also be exploring their surroundings. I would look out for cues of distress or hints of what may be leading the child to such events to identify if there is an antecedent.
Recommendations on how to support and reinforce the child's positive social skills
Some recommendations I would suggest would be to redirect the child using appropriate behaviors, and provide them positive feedback when you observe the appropriate behavior. Redirection could be suggesting they use a soft touch with our hands instead. Another recommendation would be to model the appropriate behavior for the child by identifying things that are okay to bite, like food.

Scenario: Crying Baby
Strategies for understanding the child's unique experience
A crying baby is held and secure when one particular person has the trust of the baby. Since a baby is not verbal, they can't communicate with their primary care of their needs. The primary care who is in charge of the baby needs to create a secure attachment with the babies who come to their center.
Creating secure attachment: We need to understand the baby unique cues. Both an adult and  baby participate in an exchange of nonverbal emotional cues that make the baby feel understood and safe.
How to support and reinforce the child's positive social skills:
1. Frequently have face to face interactions such as eye contact and facial expression
2. Nonverbal communication
3. respond their gestures and acknowledge the baby feeling

# data[].attributes.body
Scenario: Biter
Strategies for understanding the child's unique experience
When a child bites another individual, they are trying to communicate something to use in a way that makes sense to them. Because they are not yet verbal, they show us their feelings in physical ways. Because of this, we need o be very attentive and observant to what the infants are doing so we can respond in an appropriate way and get them whatever they need.
how to support/reinforce positive social skills
1. Giving verbal feedback when something is done right: By telling a child that they did good, you are communicating to them whatever action they completed was appropriate and they should continue to do it
2.rediretion: This one is a little controversial because although you are taking the child out of the situation, you are not communicating that they did is inappropriate. If you are going to use redirection, give some kind of feedback communicating what they could have done instead.

# data[].attributes.body
Scenario: Biter

Strategies for understanding the child’s unique experience:
Biting is a strategy infants use to achieve an intended goal. Since infants are not yet vocal, they use behavior to convey/ get what they want. So it is important to understand this and show children alternative ways that are appropriate behavior, which yields the same results.

Recommendation to support and reinforce the child’s positive social skills:
1) As mentioned in TLMBB Chapter 13 'Using Redirection' helps a child understand both the appropriate and inappropriate behavior.
2) Classroom rules such as 'soft touch' would help children know that a soft touch is a more acceptable way of getting a peer's attention than biting.
3) Modeling acceptable behavior by touching where the child bit his peer and modeling "tell him you want the toy."
4) Labeling feelings helps the child know that even though he is frustrated because his peer is playing with the toy he wants, he needs to ask for it using acceptable behavior. "You are angry that Tom has your toy. It's okay to feel angry. But you cannot bite. Biting hurts."
