(E.g for ASQ)

Ask mom to make arrangements to have one or two children at home instead of all (pick up from childcare later)

Segment the visit into 2 parts, first part can focus on 1 child (eg agenda for KSP to fulfill like ASQs), then later on other children can join

Asking caregivers if anybody else will be at home to support caregiving of the children during the session

jollygels — 2024-10-03 03:00:27 UTC

Brainstorm with mom on how to manage/ maximise the session - eg bring another colleague to help with childminding

Letting caregiver complete what they need to attend to first (e.g putting child to sleep)

jollygels — 2024-10-03 03:04:23 UTC

Start with asking caregivers what the children are interested in

Then discuss with mom how to link to developmental activities

But if mom got no ideas then KSP can suggest multiple choice and get mom to choose?
