Read the When Conflicts Arise Scenarios. Imagine you are the teacher in the situation
Conflict Scenarios –OPick 2 scenarios and answers the following questions for each scenario citing evidence from both Gillespie (2006) and TAPS: Partnerships with Families Part 3 in your response:
- What would you say to the family?
- What are some of the concerns a family/ teachers may have around the issue?
Scenario#5
1)What I would tell the parents is that I’ll try to give him couple of times but can’t get him use to that and if at home they could start doing the same process at home so he can adjust. Let them know there’s ther children in the room that also need attention.Gillespie (2006) states Empathizing means imagining how the other person might be all without trying to fix the problem.
2)Some concerns the family/teachers may have around the issue that it might be difficult to get the child out of the routine.
Scenario#4
1)What I would tell the family is how important it is for the child to go outside and play with the classmates. and to bring a warmer sweater, if she wants she can leave it at school and take it to get it washed. Gillespie (2006) states you should listen to what the parents are saying and pay attention to their words and tone of voice. Realized they might be communicating serval messages.
2)Some concerns the family/teachers may have around the issue is that they probably believe cold weather gets children sick, but that’s not they case they have to be well covered.
Scenario #2
1. I would say the family if they can try to bring more breast milk because sometimes the baby seems to be hungry because he finished all of his milk.
2. Some concerns the family/teachers may have around the issue is that the baby seems to be hungry sometimes when he finished his milk and her mother does not supplement her breast milk with formula.
Scenario #3
1. I would speak with the father, ask him why he is always late and try to come to an agreement.
2. Some concerns the family/teachers may have around the issue is that the father pick up his babies late and the teacher has to go home at a certain time.
Scenario #1
1.- I will discuss the issue directly with Ms. Lin and I will open up a conversation about their values and practices in order to help to resolve this situation. Share decision-making so we can move forward.
I would ask questions to the mother; in this case, I would ask Ms. Lin I wonder what could be causing this change in his behavior. Could you help me figure out what could be causing this behavior?
I can with Ms. Lin to find a common ground or solution to help Mi.
2.- The family may be concerned that we the professionals are not meeting Mi’s needs.
I would be concerned because Mi seems to not be toilet trained as her mother says.
Scenario #3
1.-I will talk directly to the father, first I would stop what I’m doing, and I would pay attention to everything he is saying, I would make eye contact and look for nonverbal cues. He recently lost his job, for I would show empathy, so he can feel understood, valued, and cared for. I would put myself in his shoes and try to feel what it feels like to lose my job. I would hear how he feels, and I would focus on a common solution. We together can implement a new strategy and if the problem persists, I would ask for coordination support that can support by acting as a mentor.
2.- The parent may be concern about his family’s economic stability.
`I would be concerned that the father is not getting the help that he needs to overcome his problem, for he has been distracted and not paying attention to his responsibilities as a father with his children., which can be very harmful to the children’s emotional development.
Scenario 2
I would communicate with Tyrone and tell her what’s going on and suggest to Tyrone’s mother to put a formula in his milk so that he won’t be hungry after he drinks it. Or I would figure out what to do for Tyrone not to be hungry after he drinks his milk. One concern that a teacher might have is that he’s not getting fed enough
Scenario 4
I would tell Ms Hernadez the policy and suggest to her to put Maria in warmer clothing. One concern that the family might have is that if their child plays outside on days where it’s cold,they might be worried that their child might get sick.
Scenario#2
I would talk to Gina and express my concern that her son Tyrone is still hungry. I would address the concern by telling the mother, Gina, that I understand she doesnt supplement her breast milk with formula and I would explain what the benefits could be if she were to change her mind.
In expressing my concern, I would highlight how important nutrition is for the growing child and try to provide more information regarding this topic. I would express empathy while actively listening to the parent’s response.
As I “let the family know that not only have you been listening, but also you have understood them as well” (Parlaktan 2001)
Scenario#3
I would express the importance of keeping the routines for the twins, which includes picking them up at a regular time. Without passing a judgement, I would ask Carlos how he is feeling then become an active listener. I would also point out his positive behavior towards his children, citing examples like how excited they are when he picks them up.
