QUESTION 7

a) In approximately 150 to 200 words, explain “Attachment theory”.

Attachment theory is a psychological, evolutionary and ethological theory concerning relationships

between humans. The most important tenet of attachment theory is that a young child needs to develop
a relationship with at least one primary caregiver for social and emotional development to occur
normally.

Attachment theory was further developed by Mary Ainsworth (1913 ... separations and reunions have
the same meaning for all children. The behaviours are not predictive of maltreatment: they indicate that
additional questions need to be posed urgently, as the child may.

b) How can attachment be fostered in an early education and care setting?

For young children attachment is more than just a feeling; it’s a critical part of healthy development.
“Attachment is a reciprocal relationship formed between a child and a care giver, most often a parent,”
explains, Jane Kostelc early childhood specialist at Parents as Teachers National Center. “Although the
expression of love is an important part, the most secure attachments form when the parent can
accurately read the baby’s cues and meet the child’s needs. The child then responds with trust and
interest.” Caring adults are essential to a baby’s or young child’s development, especially social-
emotional development. Since many children spend much of their day in child care settings, it’s
important for attachment relationships to include adults other than just parents. Children can love and
become attached to more than one adult. Children thrive in environments that foster attachment
through consistent and loving care. This is why child care providers, in addition to parents, are also
encouraged to form attachments with the children in their care.

c) When attachments are formed with educators, what Learning Outcomes from the learning
framework (e.g. Early Years Learning Framework) is being demonstrated?

The aim of the EYLF is to extend and enrich children's learning from birth to five years and through the
transition to school. It assists educators to provide young children with opportunities to maximise their
learning potential and to establish the fundamental basis for future success in learning.

QUESTION 8

List three strategies that Educators can use to encourage brain development through sensory
stimulation.

 Engaging with the child

 talking with them
 Signing to them
 Holding them
 Playing with them
Question 9

How can Educators build healthy and secure attachments with the infants/toddlers in their care?

 Engage in an intuitive analysis of the statistical regularities in the speech sounds they hear en
route to constructing language
 Derive implicit theories to explain the actions of objects and the behavior of people; these
theories form the foundation for causal learning and more sophisticated understanding of the
physical and social worlds.
 Responsive to what they can learn from the actions and words directed to them by other
people.
 Respond to cues conveying the communicative intentions of an adult (such as eye contact and
infant-directed speech) and tune in to what the adult is referring to and what can be learned
about it.

QUESTION 10

1) What physical indicators may a child display that shows they are tired and in need of sleep and
rest?

 pulling at ears

 closing fists

 yawning

 fluttering eyelids or difficulty focusing – your baby might even go cross-eyed or seem to be
staring into space

 making jerky arm and leg movements, or arching backwards

 frowning or looking worried

Question 11

The SIDS and Kids Safe Sleeping program teaches parents and Educators how to create a safe sleeping
environment for babies and young children.

What are the six ways to sleep babies safely?

 Safe sleep can help protect your baby from sudden infant death syndrome (also called SIDS) and
other dangers, like choking and suffocation.

 Put your baby to sleep on his back on a flat, firm surface, like in a crib or bassinet. Do this every
time your baby sleeps, including naps.

 Put your baby to sleep in his own crib or bassinet. It’s good to share a room with your baby, but
don’t share a bed.

 Don’t use sleep positioners, like nests or anti-roll pillows. They can cause your baby to stop
breathing.
  Keep crib bumpers, loose bedding, toys and other soft objects out of your baby’s crib

Question 12

You need to provide a safe sleeping environment night and day. How do we sleep babies safely and
give an example for each?

 Put your baby to sleep on his back every time until he’s 1 year old.
It’s not safe for a baby to sleep on his side or tummy. If your baby can roll from his back to his
side or tummy and back again, it’s OK if he changes positions while sleeping.
 Dress your baby in light sleep clothes
Remove any strings or ties from his pajamas and don’t cover his head. A blanket sleeper can
help keep your baby warm without covering his head or face. It’s safe to swaddle your baby for
sleep until he can roll over onto his tummy. But once he can roll over, stop swaddling.
 Give your baby a pacifier.
Pacifiers may help protect against SIDS. If you’re breastfeeding, wait until your baby is 3 to 4
weeks old or until she’s used to breastfeeding before giving her a pacifier. If your baby won’t
take a pacifier, don’t force it. It’s OK if the pacifier falls out of your baby’s mouth during sleep
 Don’t use home cardiorespiratory monitors as a way to reduce the risk of SIDS.
These monitors track a baby’s heart rate and breathing. Some babies need this kind of monitor
because of medical problems, but this is rare. There’s no evidence that the monitors help reduce
the risk of SIDS in healthy babies.

Question 13

a) Provide three ways to maintain good oral health in toddlers.

1. Start good oral habits early. Teach kids to brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and
to floss regularly.
2. Get enough fluoride. Regular use of fluoride toughens the enamel, making it harder for acid to
penetrate.
3. Limit or avoid some sweet foods.

b) Why is it recommended to give bottles only when it is mealtime?

 Promote ideal and age-appropriate fluid intake among infants

 Practice responsive feeding
 Introduce complementary foods at the appropriate age
 Encourage children to enjoy meals and regulate their own food intake
 Model healthy mealtime behaviors to children

QUESTION 14

a) Where do you find copies on the Internet of the following documents (provide the website links):

 The National Quality Standards

 https://www.acecqa.gov.au/nqf/national-quality-standard

 My time, our place

http://www.ecrh.edu.au/approved-learning-frameworks/my-time-our-place

b) Use the Internet to access the National Quality Standards. Choose one of the quality areas. Read
the information about your chosen quality area and explain how your service ensures this is
addressed in relation to its care of babies and toddlers. Print a copy of the web page you accessed and
attach it to this booklet.

Quality Area 1 – Educational program and practice

The aim of Quality Area 1 of the National Quality Standard is to ensure that the educational program
and practice is stimulating and engaging, and enhances children’s learning and development. In school
age care services, the program nurtures the development of life skills and complements children’s
experiences, opportunities and relationships at school, at home and in the community.

 Educational program enhances identity of an individual. A child will help to contribute and
connect to his world.

c) Use the Internet to access the National Quality Framework and locate the information about
‘Educator to child ratios’. What is the educator to child ratios in your state or territory for:

The National Quality Framework (NQF) sets out the minimum qualification and educator to child ratio
requirements for children’s education and care services.

Educators must be working directly with children to be counted in the educator to child ratios. 

Family day care ratio requirements

 1:7 educator to child ratio

 Maximum of four children preschool age or under.

 Ratio includes the educator’s own children younger than 13 years of age if there is no other
adult to care for them. 

Centre-based ratio requirements

 Ratios are calculated across the service (not by individual rooms). This gives providers the
flexibility to respond to the needs of children.  In a mixed age group of children, maintaining the
 ratio for each age range of children does not mean the educator to child ratio for the youngest
age range must be applied to all children in an older age range. An educator who is caring for
one age range of children can also be counted against another age range of children, as long as
the ratio for each age range is maintained and adequate supervision is maintained at all times.

 Centre-based services: birth to 24 months (from 1 January 2016)

Answer specific to own state/territory. All states and territories: 1:4 (some declared approved
services in Queensland have received an approval to operate at 1:5)

 Centre-based services: 24 months to younger than 36 months (from 1 January 2016)

Answer specific to own state/territory. Victoria has a ratio of 1:4, all other states and territories
have a ratio of 1:5 (some declared approved services in Tasmania have received an approval to
operate at 1:7 until 2018)
 Family day care services: indicate the ratio as well as the number of children under preschool
age (from 1 January 2016)

Answer specific to own state/territory. Rat io for all states is 1:7, with no more than 4 children at
preschool age or under; this includes educator’s own children under 13 years of age or young

This may also include the educator using words such as ‘please ’, ‘thank you’ and so on to
promote respectful interactions. Print out (or screenshot is suitable) of relevant page of the
framework provide

 When attachments are formed with educators, what outcome is being demonstrated? Print a
copy of the page where you found this information for this outcome and attach it to this
booklet.

QUESTION 19

WHEN A CHILD IS READY FOR TOILET TRAINING. HOW WOULD YOU COLLABORATE WITH CHILD’S
PARENTS IN RELATION TO TOILET TRAINING? WRITE IN YOUR OWN WORDS. APPROXIMATE LENGTH
OF ANSWER IS 50 WORDS.

Create a consistent toileting routine.

When children begin toilet learning, make it a part of the daily routine. Take the child to the toilet at
regular intervals, whether or not she indicates that she needs to go. Help her remove clothing and sit on
the toilet. Healthy children aren't physically and emotionally ready to start using a potty until they are
between 18 months and three years old. Boys tend to be ready a few months later than girls. Most
parents start the training when their children are between two years and three years old.

QUESTION 20

In approximately 50–100 words, write about how a baby’s environment is critical for their brain
development.

Creating a supportive, loving environment filled with warm, gentle interactions helps your baby's brain
to develop, and will lay the foundation for your baby's future development and learning. Creating a
supportive, loving environment filled with warm, gentle interactions helps your baby's brain to develop.

QUESTION 21

a) What are two practices in child care that must be followed to prevent the spread of infection?

Make sure health care providers clean their hands or wear gloves Healthcare

providers should wear clean gloves when they perform tasks such as taking . Cover your mouth
and nose to prevent the spread of infection to others. . Common sense and following good
personal hygiene will limit the possibility of these.

b) What are two sources of information you could access to find out the requirements for infection
control in a child care service?

▪ NHMRC ‘ Staying healthy in child care’ publication

▪ Workplace infection control poli y and procedures

▪ Hygiene in child care public at ion NCAC

Question 22

How would you identify and respond to children’s’ requirements related to food allergies, medical
conditions and cultural/religious needs? Write in your own words. Approximate length of answer is 50
words.

One of the main reasons why you should ask for dietary requirements when ordering catering is to
identify food allergies. Food allergies can range from mild to extremely severe so it is important that you
ask your attendees, and then communicate this information to your caterer.

Question 23

• Create a Children’s Services handout for Educators (A4 size). Show the steps that should be followed
when preparing, heating, cleaning equipment and storing baby and toddler formula for bottle feeding.

Write in your own words. Approximate length of answer is 150 words.

• The handout should include:

• Clear and simple instructions.

• Approved standards for safe storing and heating formula as well as breast milk.

• Illustrations as well as words.

Highlight any important safety reminders.

Cleaning bottle-feeding equipment

It’s important to clean bottle-feeding equipment after every feed. You need to clean it before you
sterilise it, and it’s best to clean equipment straight after your baby has finished feeding.

Here’s how to clean bottle-feeding equipment:

 Wash your hands with soapy water and dry with a clean towel.

 Check teats for any cracks. Throw away any damaged teats – bacteria can grow in the
cracks.

 Wash all bottle-feeding equipment in hot, soapy water.

 Use a bottle brush to scrub inside bottles and teats.

 Squirt water through teats to clear the little hole.

 Rinse everything thoroughly.

Sterilising bottle-feeding equipment

There are several ways you can sterilise your bottle-feeding equipment:

 boiling
 chemicals
 steam sterilisation
 microwave sterilisation.
When you’ve sterilised your equipment using your chosen method, you need to store the sterilised
equipment in a sealed container in the fridge.

Boiling
Boiling is the simplest and most reliable way of sterilising your bottle-feeding equipment:

 Put the bottles, teats, rings and caps in a large pot.

 Fill the pot with water until everything is covered and all air bubbles are gone.
 Put the pot on the stove, bring it to the boil and boil for five minutes.
 Let everything cool in the pot until you can take it out with your hand without scalding
yourself.
 Store equipment you aren’t going to use straight away in a clean, sealed container in the
fridge.
 Use all equipment within 24 hours of boiling.

How to prepare a bottle feed

 Clean and disinfect a surface on which to prepare the feed.

Wash your hands with soap and water, and dry with a clean or disposable cloth.
 Boil some safe water. If using an automatic kettle, wait until the kettle switches off. If using a
pan to boil water, make sure the water comes to a rolling boil.
 Read the instructions on the formula's packaging to find out how much water and how much
powder you need. Adding more or less formula than instructed could make infants ill.
 Taking care to avoid scalds, pour the correct amount of boiled water into a cleaned and
sterilized feeding bottle. The water should be no cooler than 70ºC, so do not leave it for
more than 30 minutes after boiling.
 Add the exact amount of formula to the water in the bottle
Question 24

• list the steps that should be followed when heating and storing breast milk for a baby. Write in your
own words.
• Ensure that your answers provide adequate level of information covering the following areas:
• Storing breast milk
• Transporting breast milk
• Thawing breast milk
Warming breast milk

 If you plan to use your milk within 8 days, you can store it in the refrigerator. Otherwise,
store it in the coldest part of the freezer, where it can remain for up to four months.

 Never store your breast milk in the door compartment of the refrigerator or freezer. It is
more likely to defrost or become too warm there.

 Freshly pumped milk can be stored in a cooler with frozen ice packs for up to 24 hours.

 If you follow the timeframes in the breast milk storage guidelines, you can keep your milk
at room temperature, then refrigerate it, and then freeze it.

 If you plan to use your milk within 8 days, you can store it in the refrigerator. Otherwise,
store it in the coldest part of the freezer, where it can remain for up to four months.

 Never store your breast milk in the door compartment of the refrigerator or freezer. It is
more likely to defrost or become too warm there.

 Freshly pumped milk can be stored in a cooler with frozen ice packs for up to 24 hours.

 If you follow the timeframes in the breast milk storage guidelines, you can keep your milk
at room temperature, then refrigerate it, and then freeze it.

 To warm your milk, place the breast milk bottle or bag into a cup, jug or bowl of lukewarm
water for a few minutes to bring it to body temperature (37 °C or 99 °F). Alternatively, use
a bottle warmer. Do not allow the temperature to go above 40 °C (104 °F), and do not use
a microwave, as this can overheat your milk.

 Gently swirl the bottle or bag, without shaking or stirring, to mix any separated fat
