Guest Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 hi everyone, Can't seem to get my head round this question I was hoping someone maybe able to help. State how expectations of socially acceptable/desirable behaviour may vary across settings and cultures. I think i must have brain freeze or something!!! Thanks in advance.Sam
Helen Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 Hi Sam, We have recently had some children who attend our nursery for a couple of mornings a week, and then go onto another nursery for every afternoon. For a couple of these children, it has had an unwelcome effect on their behaviour. I think it's a combination of different expectations between the settings, a huge difference in staff:child ratios, and the children just finding it all a bit too tiring. As for the cultures bit, think about how different cultures might view certain activities/behaviour, eg playing with dolls and dressing up, gun play, singing and dancing, helping to prepare food, cleaning up, etc.
