Question Answered step-by-step Josie is four years old. She has a slight delay with expressive… Josie is four years old. She has a slight delay with expressive communication, her receptive communication appears to be developmentally appropriate. She attends a before and after school child care program located in her public school. Josie is dropped off every day as soon as the child care opens and is picked up right before the centre closes for the day. Josie’s teachers in her Kindergarten class report she is disruptive towards her peers, constantly on the move and has a difficult time listening and following through with instructions. Josie is often chosen as the teacher’s “helper” and will be found right next to them throughout most of the day.When Josie arrives after school to the child care program, she often appears in a grumpy mood and will act physically aggressive towards her peers and teachers. She hits, kicks and will occasionally bite her peers and teachers. Josie has severe tantrums, throwing her body on the floor 1. What stressors or other factors do you think may have contributed to Josie exhibitingphysically aggressive behaviours towards her:- peers – teachers?- parents? 2. What strategies do you think could best support Josie, and those around her, during a physically aggressive episode:- in the child care program? – at home? 3. Parents are often frustrated and baffled as to what causes their children’s challenging behavior. Parental involvement is key in reducing challenging behavior. As Josie’s child care teacher, how can you support her parent’s in working through Josie’schallenging behaviours at home? 4. Think of your own personal space, your desk, or rooms in your home. How do you have them arranged? Does the physical space and layout fit your needs? What do you think are Josie’s needs? Are there any environmental factors that could change or be rearranged to potentially remove or reduce the frequency of Josie’s challenging behaviour:- at the child care program?- at home? 5. Name one resource (a children’s book, developmentally appropriate) AND one activity that you could create from this resource that could help to support Josie in developingher emotional regulation skills.
