Assignment task:
The extent to which victims of bullying suffer negative outcomes is partly determined by how they cope with being bullied. In your future practice as an early childhood teacher, how can you ensure the children in your care have the skills and strategies to overcome bullying incidents with reference to the unit content? Make links to the Early Years Learning Framework (DET, 2022) where relevant.
You are working at a long day care centre where a new family has enrolled. You have planned a cooking experience with the children when the boy (aged 4) states, "cooking is the girl's job, boys should not cook!" Discuss the following points with reference to the unit content: - What language and actions would you use to handle this situation? - How can you teach gender equality as part of the Australian culture with children aged 3-5 years? - What are the strategies you could implement to work towards social justice and equity?
