Guest Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 Need help please on C.11.2 Question -the varying age which children develop their discriminatory and stereotypical ideas. At what age does this usually begin. Has any body got any ideas or suggestions? Need this to complete the element C.11 Thankyou SallyW
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Hi Sally, My standards don't ask anything about stating ages for this - has your Assessor asked for this? All I usually look for is an understanding that, like every other aspect of development, it's individual and I expect to see awareness of influences on children which could induce, or prevent, such ideas creeping in to children's outlook. Any help? Sue
Guest Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 This is for K and U 6 right? You're probably looking for information about when children develop the kind of stereotypes in their play such as Boys can't play with dolls/wear pink and Girls aren't allowed to be firefighters. Think about when you hear children say this kind of things and you should be on the right track. Kristina
AnonyMouse_4177 Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Hi Sally, Challenging adult's attitudes and the way that we talk to children such as, 'I need two strong boys' 'What a good quiet girl' Sorry, have been on the phone and can't remember the question! Does this help? Barb
Guest Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Hi Sallyw here Many thanks to everyone for their help. I wish I had found this site last year. I have been struggling with some of the elements and felt like giving up sometimes, but have kept going Finding C15 quite daunting as there does not seem to be many Child Protection Courses and they seem to be booked up well in advance. so will be asking loads of questions for you clever people out there.
AnonyMouse_64 Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 C15 is a difficult unit but I think you'll find this site very helpful.
